For 30 years now, Bosch has thus been in the lead in terms of control unit diagnostics. Concomitant with the first electronic systems in automotive engineering, Bosch also used its high competence in the field for its test equipment. Several electronic vehicle systems used as original equipment by vehicle manufacturers around the world have been developed by Bosch engineers. Nowadays, KTS diagnostic testers and Esitronic 2.0 allow workshops to perform control unit diagnoses on more than 90 000 vehicle models of more than 150 different makes.ģ0 years of experience and competence in control unit diagnoses Quarterly updates – at first on CD, then on DVD and today mostly online – make sure workshops are always provided up-to-date diagnostic data suitable even for latest vehicle models and control units. In 1999, the Bosch Esitronic workshop software, was launched on the diagnostic testers – yet another important milestone for control unit diagnostics and further development of the KTS series. Accordingly, the automotive sector soon got to know KTS 300 as “Bosch Hammer” and as a synonym for engine testers. By 1999, it allowed control unit diagnoses on some 120 systems of 25 different vehicle manufacturers. But the number of control units KTS was able to test grew rapidly. When the first KTS was launched, it was able to handle engine management data of cars of three different makes. The success story began with the “Bosch Hammer” Consequently, the 30-year success story of Bosch diagnostic testers will go on in future as well – thanks to optimized control unit diagnoses and new generations of KTS testers providing future-oriented hardware solutions. Diagnostic solutions fit for the future of workshops – that’s what’s still driving us,” Frei continues.
“We have always aimed on increasing efficiency and effectiveness of everyday work at workshops by means of our diagnostic testers and modern software. 30 years ago, we were among the first companies also starting to meet these requirements in the field of control unit diagnostics,” Oliver Frei, Regional President Europe at Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, says thus describing the motivation driving continuous further development of KTS diagnostic testers. “Ever since the company was first founded, the Bosch has been a name standing for development competence, technical quality and reliability. Modern diagnostic testers are still called KTS. The name prevailed down to the present day. Back then, Bosch named it KTS or “Klein-Tester-Serie”, which is German for series of small testers. Karlsruhe/Plochingen (Germany) - Back in 1988, Bosch KTS 300 – the first diagnostic tester – first allowed independent workshops to check electronic vehicle systems.
