Este es el mejor escáner OBD por Bluetooth que he probado nunca
Introduction to the OBD Device
Overview of Current Situation
- The speaker mentions a delay in video uploads due to being busy with family responsibilities, particularly with a child.
- Introduction of a new OBD device received from Kimbolin, intended for promotional purposes but noted as highly capable.
Features and Initial Impressions
- The speaker decides to create a more detailed video showcasing the device's capabilities rather than just a promotional one.
- The device is described as powerful, able to read extensive data when connected to vehicles like the C6.
Device Setup and Functionality
Unboxing and Installation
- The speaker unboxes the OBD device, noting its compact design and included manuals in multiple languages (excluding Spanish).
- Instructions are provided for downloading an app necessary for activation; registration requires entering the serial number found on the device.
Connection Process
- The connection process involves selecting vehicle details; however, specific models like "Roberta" are not listed.
- Successful Bluetooth connection is established with the vehicle after some initial setup steps.
Diagnostic Capabilities
Scanning and Data Retrieval
- The device scans for error codes but initially finds none; it will be tested further on another vehicle model.
- Additional features include options for purchasing extra diagnostic services at $20 each.
Detailed Diagnostics
- After connecting successfully, various diagnostics are performed including oil service reset and inspection intervals.
- Diagnostic results indicate upcoming maintenance needs based on mileage readings displayed by the app.
Performance Evaluation
Comprehensive System Scan
- A thorough scan reveals numerous systems within the car that can be monitored, including airbag sensors and suspension modules.
- Notably, all relevant codes from different modules are read accurately by this new OBD tool compared to previous devices used by the speaker.
Conclusion of Testing Phase
Diagnostic Issues and Solutions in Vehicle Systems
Overview of Faults Detected
- The vehicle exhibits multiple faults, including a malfunctioning caudalímetro (flow meter) and issues with door mechanisms, particularly the driver's side mirror not closing properly.
- Additional problems include a lack of communication with the suspension system and steering angle sensor, which may intermittently lose signal affecting assisted steering functionality.
Diagnostic Tools and Processes
- A diagnostic tool generates reports detailing both failures and operational components, allowing for systematic troubleshooting.
- The process involves clearing error codes one by one from various control units; this successfully turns off the engine light temporarily.
Data Reading Capabilities
- The diagnostic tool allows real-time data flow monitoring, providing insights into various systems such as glow plugs and particulate filters.
- It also displays critical parameters like fuel levels (68 liters), oil temperature (22 degrees), and engine temperature (24 degrees), showcasing its comprehensive capabilities.
Performance Evaluation of Diagnostic Equipment
- The device being tested is noted for its effectiveness in reading all relevant data from Citroën vehicles, indicating high reliability.
- There is potential for further exploration into paid modules that could enhance functionality, especially regarding injector reset procedures.
Future Engagement with Diagnostic Tools
- Plans to engage with manufacturers for discounts on diagnostic tools are mentioned, aiming to provide benefits to subscribers.
