equivalent of “System Identification” or “System Information” in some electronic
control systems.
This will allow you to read ECU related software and hardware versions, models and
production date of diesel engine, part number, etc.
Read DTCs: read the trouble codes that are stored in the ECU.
Clear DTCs: clear current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU. The trouble
codes can not be erased without eliminating the fault that the code relates to. TIP:
Save or print the currently stored fault codes before clearing them to provide help in
the case of an intermittent fault.

show the trouble codes and their definition, shown below:
Tip: In the process of diagnosis, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble
Code”, it indicates that the ECU has not detected a fault in any of the circuits that it
monitors. If there is a fault which is not being recorded it may be that the fault is
with a part of the system not under the control of ECU, such as a mechanical system
fault. It is also possible that the signal of a system sensor may be incorrect but still
within the ECUs stored limits, this can be verified in Live Data.
4.5. Clear DTCs

CHAPTERⅢHow to Use KC100
If you purchase an EXTRA dongle KC100, you can work with VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat
4th and 5th immobilizer software and BMW CAS1-3++ immobilizer software. Lets
take VW as an example. Since VW 4th and 5th Immo programming needs online
programming, please make sure X100 PAD2 connect Internet before doing
programming. Please find operation steps as below:
1. Please use main cable and OBDII connector (or other relative connector) to
connect between X100 PAD2 and your car’s OBD port.
2. Please use TYPE-C to mini USB cable to connect between X100 PAD2 and KC100.
