KESS3 Update!

Ford’s evolution continues through increasingly efficient powertrains, new electronic management systems, and Bosch platforms designed to enhance performance and safety. With this update, KESS3 takes a decisive step forward, enabling OBD access to the latest-generation MD1 and MG1 ECUs—offering workshops a direct gateway into the contemporary Ford world.

Thanks to the new protocols, you can work on petrol, diesel and mild-hybrid engines with a more linear and faster workflow: connect, read and write through the diagnostic port, maintaining operational continuity even on the most complex configurations.

EcoBlue, EcoBoost and Super Duty series: the entire new Ford generation can finally be managed smoothly and reliably. A release that opens new work opportunities and fully integrates these platforms into your daily workshop routine.
