Diagnosis using KDS

  1. In the body electrical system, faults can be quickly diagnosed using the Korean Diagnostic System (KDS).

    The Diagnostic System (KDS) provides the following information.

    1. Self-Diagnosis: Checks malfunction and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

    2. Current Data: Check the system input/output status.

    3. Actuation Test: Check the system operating status

    4. Additional function: Control of other functions, including the setting parameter system and zero point adjustment.

  2. Select "Vehicle Model" and "IBU-BCM" to check, to check the vehicle with the tester.

    • Standard: BCM-MFSW

    • R-MDPS : BCM - MFSW (DN8)

  3. Select the "Current Data" menu to view the current input/output data status.

  4. To forcibly activate the input value of the module under test, select the "Activation Test" option.
