Intended use
Not a type-approved vehicle component for use on public roads. Sold exclusively to commercial customers for export, off-highway motorsport, dynamometer testing and engineering. Verifying legal admissibility of distribution, installation and use in the destination country and intended application is the responsibility of the buyer.
Function
"OBD" stands for "On-Board-Diagnosis", the standardised diagnostic interface of vehicles. The OBD-Killer is a compact electronic module that is simply plugged into the OBD diagnostic port. It monitors the fault code memory of the engine control unit in real time for possible entries. If a pending fault code is detected in the ECU, the OBD killer blocks it even before the driver can see a message in the dashboard. Expected, sporadically occurring fault codes can be isolated. If an unexpected fault code appears, the deletion process stops. Thus, the functionality of the fault memory is preserved.
Fault codes
The
OKS.ALL is self-learning and can generally block all emission-related fault codes. During installation, the OBD killer learns the current fault codes as expected ones. This process can be repeated as often as required to add further fault codes. It also deletes the manufacturer-specific codes that do not comply with the OBD standard. As soon as an error is pending that was not expected, the OBD killer no longer intervenes. Thus, the full functionality of the fault memory and engine control light is retained for all other fault messages.
Application
You can use the OBD killer on vehicles from model year 2008 onwards that comply with the European EOBD standard or implement it accordingly. There are also vehicles that already support the necessary standard in the years before. You can recognise these vehicles by the fact that pin 6 and pin 14 are connected at the
diagnostic port. It does not matter whether the engine runs on diesel, petrol, natural gas or LPG. Some engine control units do not support the clearing of fault codes with the OBD protocol while driving. The OBD killer is then not suitable for these vehicles. Please check this before ordering.
Vehicle changing
When changing vehicles, you can continue to use the OBD killer for vehicles built from 2008 onwards without any problems. If the OBD-Killer detects a new chassis number after installation, all learning values are reset. The OBD-Killer is then virtually brand new.
