New Full OBD protocol for Continental SID212 and SID212 EVO.

Reprogramming management now fully via OBD, with KESS3.

08.07.2026 – Upgrade 3.32

KESS3 and Powergate further expand their coverage for Ford EcoBlue engines with the release of the new Full OBD protocol, dedicated to Continental SID212 and SID212 EVO ECUs.

It is now possible to perform read and write operations directly from the diagnostic port, even on ECUs already patched with other tools. In addition, thanks to the “Virtual Reading” function dedicated to this protocol, it is possible to restore the vehicle to its original condition with a simple click in Alientech Suite.

Work on the ECU fitted to numerous Ford 2.0 EcoBlue applications without removing it from the vehicle.

The benefits for everyday workshop operations:

  • complete intervention via OBD
  • fast and linear workflow
  • increased productivity

With KESS3, the workshop can simplify its work and reduce intervention times: thanks to this update, reprogramming operations on the widely used Continental SID212 and SID212 EVO ECUs become even faster to manage.

The protocol is already available for KESS3 users with CAR OBD activation and an active subscription.
