Inspection
Diagnosis Using KDS
In the body electrical system, faults can be quickly diagnosed using the Korean Diagnostic System (KDS).
The Diagnostic System (KDS) provides the following information.
Self-Diagnosis: Checks for malfunctions and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Current Data: Checks the input/output status of the system.
Actuation Test: Checks the operating condition of the system.
Additional Function: Controls other functions, including system setting parameters and zero point adjustment.
Select "Vehicle Model" and "Telematics System" to inspect in order using the tester.
Select the "Current Data" menu to check the current input/output data.
