Karlsruhe/Plochingen (Germany) – Bosch launches a new diagnostic tester onto the market which has specifically been developed for mobile and straightforward workshop use. The compact and robust Bosch KTS 250 is perfectly suitable for small automotive workshops, for use at workshops’ vehicle reception or as an additional device for larger workshops. The tester stands out for its high user friendliness. A new, intuitive and Android-based user interface supports its operator. Equipped with Bosch Esitronic workshop software, KTS 250 allows economical ECU diagnoses on almost any type of passenger car on the market. So far, the software covers some 150 car makes and is thus equally comprehensive and complete as Esitronic 2.0 installed on larger Bosch diagnostic testers. Thanks to its powerful processor programs are loaded quickly and rapid diagnoses are ensured. Bosch first presents the new KTS 250 diagnostic tester at this year’s Automechanika fair in Frankfurt on the Main (Germany).
