New OBD protocol for Continental UTCU4 TCU – Ford, Lincoln and Volkswagen.

With this update, KESS3 and Powergate let you work in OBD mode on Continental UTCU4 TCUs, accessing the transmission calibration directly through the diagnostic port.

The new support expands the range of operations on numerous vehicles produced from 2017 to the present day, equipped with most EcoBoost engines (1.5, 2.0, 2.3, 2.7, 3.0 and 3.5), as well as 5.0 Ti-VCT, 1.5 and 2.0 EcoBlue and 6.7 V8 Power Stroke engines.
Coverage now includes the 8- and 10-speed SelectShift 8FXX, SelectShift 10R80 and TorqShift 10R140 automatic transmissions: units fitted to pick-ups, commercial vehicles, SUVs and performance applications.

The real benefits for the workshop:

• Direct connection in OBD mode
• Management of the Continental UTCU4 TCU calibration
• Possibility to optimize transmission behavior together with the engine calibration
• New opportunities on pick-ups, commercial vehicles and performance applications
• Support also available with Powergate

TCU management allows you to work on the transmission consistently with the engine and vehicle use, calibrating gearbox response both under high-load conditions and for performance-oriented applications.
