The Bosch Obd 2 1350 Scan Tool is a robust and user-friendly device designed for swift and accurate diagnosis of vehicle system faults in OBD II-equipped vehicles. While Bosch’s OBD code scanner line has been discontinued, the OBD 1350 remains a powerful tool, packed with features aimed at both DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics seeking efficient vehicle diagnostics. This scanner excels in reading ABS codes for a wide range of vehicles, including models from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, Smart, VW, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Volvo, making it a versatile choice for multi-brand garages or car owners maintaining various makes.
Beyond ABS, the Bosch OBD 1350 also adeptly reads and displays SRS/airbag codes for numerous brands such as GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Audi. This comprehensive coverage extends to enhanced Powertrain and ABS datastream for Domestic, Asian, and European vehicles, providing in-depth insights into your vehicle’s health. A standout feature is its Ford ‘On Demand’ tests capability, which allows users to activate switches and actuators within the engine for thorough diagnostics.
Diagnosing vehicle problems is further simplified with the integrated CodeConnect feature. Leveraging a vast database of over 26 million fixes, CodeConnect pinpoints the most probable causes for those illuminated warning lights, saving you time and guesswork. For GM and Ford vehicles, the OBD 1350 offers transmission enhanced live datastream, adding another layer of diagnostic depth. Moreover, it monitors fuel efficiency, providing real-time data on MPG, average MPG, elapsed time, distance traveled, fuel consumption, and average speed, which can be invaluable for assessing vehicle performance and fuel economy.
The intelligent AutoID function automatically populates vehicle data for most 2000 and newer models, streamlining the diagnostic process right from the start. This Bosch scan tool is also equipped for essential maintenance tasks like resetting oil lights and check engine lights, and performing battery life resets – crucial when replacing batteries in modern vehicles. It provides a comprehensive view of all modes of OBD II global data, including mode 6 and O2 monitor tests, and monitors critical battery, alternator, and charging systems to ensure electrical health. Data graphing capabilities (for 1996 and newer vehicles) and the ability to read, record, and playback live sensor data further enhance its diagnostic prowess.
Navigating the Bosch OBD 1350 is intuitive with its multilingual menu options in English, French, and Spanish. It reads, displays, and clears generic and enhanced diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), providing a complete code management solution. Additional functionalities include freeze frame data, emissions readiness status (I/M readiness monitors), a built-in OBD II code library, and PC compatibility for data management and updates. The large, backlit graphic LCD screen ensures clear visibility in various lighting conditions, and its battery-powered operation allows for convenient data review even when disconnected from the vehicle. The Bosch OBD 1350 is universally compatible with ALL 1996 and newer import and domestic vehicles (OBD II & CAN), and also supports ’94 and ’95 OBD II compliant vehicles, making it a truly versatile diagnostic tool for a wide range of automotive needs.
