KESS3: the unique tool for your work

Quick updates, three different connection modes (OBD – BENCH – BOOT), ease of use and sturdiness for your garage.

All in a single tool designed to work in the present and amaze in the future thanks to the constant updating of functions and protocols to help you in your daily work.

Repairs

Not just tuning! Working on automatic transmission control units presents a great opportunity for business, mainly focused on repair.

Expensive electronic components, including the TCU itself, which manages the mechanical system’s operation, can be saved from replacement.

So, through recalibration, you can save to your customer significant amounts of money! KESS3 and ECM Titanium are the fastest and most reliable tools to excel in your work.

Powerful calibrations with ECM Titanium

With the ECM Titanium calibration software, you can quickly work on the management of any engine or automatic transmission control unit.

In this specific case, you can enhance the driving experience of the Hyundai Kona through combined intervention on the Continental SIM2K-259 ECU and TCU. After a careful recalibration of the 2.0 16v engine, further adjustments can be made to the dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT-7) file. As indicated by the number, this seven-speed robotized transmission, transversely arranged, is the second-to-last evolution in the market concerning transmissions within the Korean group. Installed in multiple versions of Hyundai’s compact SUV, it can be configured with both front-wheel drive and the sophisticated Torque On Demand (TOD) all-wheel-drive system, which automatically distributes power to each of the four wheels based on their traction on the road surface. This system is managed by various sensors connected to the accelerator, brakes and steering, preventing traction loss and ensuring excellent behaviour, even with a more sporty driving style.

To unlock its full potential, it’s important to adjust certain management parameters, such as shift times and regimes. Provide smoother and more enjoyable driving aboard the Hyundai Kona with ECM Titanium satisfying even the most discerning clientele with just a few clicks.
