All That You Need To Know About The Kenworth Diagnostic Tool

The Kenworth Truck Company was established in 1923 as Gersix Motor Company. This American truck manufacturer is internationally acclaimed for its Class 8 heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks as well as commercial vehicles in the Class 5-7 category.

Being a market leader in this segment, Kenworth has several path-breaking firsts against its name. Notable among them are aerodynamic designs for their heavy-duty trucks and raised-roof sleeper cabin designs that enhance driver comfort many times over. In 2013, Kenworth launched the T700 wide-body trucks and then the T880 model exclusively for vocational applications.

The range of models of trucks from the Kenworth stable is overwhelming, to say the least. It is therefore natural that you need an optimized Kenworth diagnostic tool to ensure that your fleet is always on the road without downtime and that any minor issue is identified and rectified before it becomes a major problem.

In this post, we will go into the details of our Jaltest Kenworth diagnostic software and the benefits that it brings to the table. 

However, before going into the functioning of the Jaltest Kenworth scan tool, a quick word on fault codes is needed as they are intricately linked with the functioning of the Kenworth diagnostic software. 

Fault codes, also known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), are alpha-numeric codes that inform the health of the systems and components of a vehicle. All modern vehicles have an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and an onboard computer that flashes the fault codes whenever the computer finds a malfunctioning component or system. 

It might be something as simple as loose wiring or a faulty brake light or something more complex like soot accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter. When this happens and the fault code is shown in the display unit typically tucked away below the dashboard on the driver’s side, a diagnostic software like Jaltest will identify the issue and suggest solutions that are no less than dealer-level servicing.

Outline of the Jaltest Kenworth Diagnostic Software

Preventive Maintenance vs Fault Clearing Functions of the Kenworth Scan Tool  

Once you access the Jaltest Kenworth diagnostic software after linking it to the onboard computer, you can carry out both preventive maintenance functions or clearing fault codes after a malfunction is detected. 

In the first instance, the software has a provision for full system scans that you can set periodically. The software will scan various metrics like the central computer, chassis module, electronic module, climate HVAC, lighting, instrument cluster, and more. Even a very minor issue will be detected as a temporary fault code that might or might not go away within a few driving cycles. If the fault persists, a major solution may be initiated.

While preventive maintenance enables you to keep a tab on the health of the vehicle, clearing fault codes after specific issues crop up and are detected by the Kenworth diagnostic tool is altogether a different function altogether. Based on the nature of the fault you can choose a rectification solution from the drop-down menu. 

All systems and components are covered and you get solutions at par with what is provided by service engineers. Among the parameters included are changing parameters of fuel consumption, engine speed control, power take-off control, activating and deactivating conditions of the brake pedal, and so much more. You also get deep coverage of Paccar body modules and actuate components like switches and lights to test functionality.

Cummins Engines Fault Code Clearance with the Kenworth Scan Tool

Like Paccar engines, Cummins engines are also used in many Kenworth truck modules including T660, T680, T800, T880, W900, and C500 models. The Kenworth diagnostic codes reader is equally effective in clearing fault codes in Cummins engines. You can carry out system checks, calibrate VGTs and turbos, perform system and after-treatment checks, and more.

You will be helped by our software in this regard with detailed wiring diagrams and live maintenance data that let you set parameters like maximum speed and idle speed, and perform checks on fuel and EGR systems. Fault diagnosis is made easy with the Extra-High-Pressure Injection and Common Rail dashboard with all technical information and data on the performance of the vehicle. 

Hence, with the Kenworth diagnostic software you can monitor, maintain, calibrate, configure, and actuate components of Cummins engines.

Forced Regens With The Kenworth Diagnostic Tool

Whether it is Kenworth, Paccar, or Cummins engines, forced regens is a critical engine maintenance active exclusive to diesel engines that can be carried out with the Jaltest Kenworth maintenance tool. 

It is common in diesel engines to have soot accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) when passive regens are unable to clear it. In severe cases, the engine might seize up and the truck will go into limp mode. It is therefore an activity that is essential for the maintenance of your diesel-powered truck fleet.

Even though forced regens is a complex affair, you can effortlessly carry it out with the Jaltest diagnostic software. Connect the software to the onboard computer and you will be informed about the extent of soot buildup in the DPF. Based on the data the software will initiate corrective action such as High or Very High as the situation requires.

Typically, forced regens require the engine to be run for around 40 minutes on a rev to be decided by the software. The rise in the temperature of the exhaust gasses burns away the soot. The software also ensures that the input pressure is within set parameters.  

Summing Up

The Kenworth diagnostic tool is an optimized software that ensures your fleet of trucks is always on the road and any issues are ironed out in the earliest possible time. Since Kenworth is always introducing the latest technologies in their truck systems and engines continuously, we update our software thrice every year to keep up with them.

Before going further with marine engine troubleshooting and bunching all types of engines together, it is necessary to understand the intricate differences between outboard engine troubleshooting and inboard engine troubleshooting. It must be clear here though that our Jaltest marine troubleshooting tool is equally adaptable in both scenarios so far as boat engine troubleshooting is concerned. 

Inboard engines are common in large boats and yachts and are fitted inside the hull of the vessel. Outboard engines are typically seen in smaller vessels and are mounted on the transom. Hence, if you are taking up jet ski troubleshooting with the Jaltest tool, you are into outboard engine troubleshooting. 

When it comes to using the Jaltest diagnostic scanner, there is a difference in how the software is connected for marine engine troubleshooting. Outboard engines communicate wirelessly via Wi-fi or Bluetooth with the software while the Jaltest laptop is connected through a cable to inboard engines. Apart from this divergence, the functioning of the Jaltest maintenance tool does not vary significantly     in boat engine troubleshooting between the two types of engines. 

The advantage here is that with our marine engine troubleshooting tool, you do not need multiple software to clear fault codes of various engine types, the Jaltest boat engine troubleshooting software takes care of them all.

You can adjust the trim, set up key parameters, adjust idle speeds for fuel efficiency, and use code injectors to quickly increase performance. You are thus not only carrying out maintenance activities but also preempting faults so that they rarely occur. Your boat thus always remains in great shape. 

Summing Up

The Jaltest software is not limited to the main marine engine troubleshooting only, it is good for marine auxiliary engine troubleshooting also. An auxiliary engine is a secondary engine that provides power for functions other than propulsion. It is typically diesel-powered and used to generate electricity, compressed air, and others. It therefore has a critical role to play in the overall performance and comfort levels of the boat.  

To ensure that our software does not get left behind in the race with technological innovations in marine engines, we offer three updates to our software every year. Thus, you always have the features for fault rectification even for the latest models of marine engines.

Cummins Diesel Engine Fault Codes 

If you are an owner of vehicles or equipment powered by Cummins engines, you must have come up against Cummins fault codes in the form of alphanumeric messages on the onboard computer display, typically tucked away below the dashboard on the driver’s side.

Cummins engine fault codes are alerts to warn you that something is not right with the engine and quick action is required. The fault codes may be a sign of a simple error or a complex one that may require downtime and stoppage of work.

Let us take a couple of examples to explain the concept of Cummins fault code better. 

• Cummins engine fault code 1117: This fault code indicates a lost power supply with the ignition on. Possible causes are a faulty battery, damaged wiring harness, faulty ECM, or corroded or loose battery connections. 
• Cummins engine fault code 1569: The explanation of this Cummins fault code is “Engine Protection Torque Derate” which in simple terms means the engine is reducing power due to a detected issue. It is related to problems that affect the engine performance such as with the aftertreatment sensors or actuators.  

These codes will show up when you connect our Jaltest Cummins engine code reader to the onboard computer. The software will then guide you through all that is required to be done to get your vehicle or equipment back on the job at the earliest. 

Know more about the types and models of Cummins engines

If you consider Cummins engine fault codes, there are two possibilities here. 

The first is the pending or temporary Cummins engine trouble codes that indicate early signs of a problem which is at the minor stage and if left unattended, can blow up into a major issue necessitating downtime. Use the Jaltest software to track the trouble and clear it. Such temporary fault codes typically disappear within a few driving cycles.

The second is more serious issues where a great deal of overhaul is required. Here, our Jaltest Cummins engine code reader is very useful and makes the rectification process smoother. The Jaltest scanner is a user-friendly device that connects to the onboard computer of the vehicle. Once the software laptop is plugged in, turn on the engine, and it will read the Cummins fault code and zero in on the problem.

The Jaltest Cummins engine fault code list helps you pinpoint the exact issue with detailed descriptions of the fault. It will handhold you through the solution, backed by detailed wiring diagrams that assist you in finding the location of the fault, the precise nature of the fault, and what is required to be done. You can then carry out the fault-clearing solutions confidently with the Jaltest Cummins engine code reader.  

The Jaltest software performs Cummins engine diagnostics and shows all engine electronic information on the laptop screen. Working with Jaltest is easy as it guides you through step-by-step diagnostics, schematic diagrams, and built-in engine drawings. Hence, troubleshooting time is reduced, and faulty diagnostics and resolution procedures are done away with as you get wiring and sensor location diagrams, and can adjust parameters to quickly and easily review and clear fault information. 

A quick mention should be made here of a very specialized tool, the Jaltest Cummins ISX code reader. The Cummins ISX engine is one of the top-range Cummins heavy-duty diesel engines and the Jaltest ISX code reader is specifically designed to read and interpret this Cummins fault code. It directly retrieves diagnostic information like error codes and live data and helps you to identify and troubleshoot issues within the engine systems. 

The main function of the Cummins ISX code reader is to display live engine data such as fuel pressure and coolant temperature and clear Cummins diesel engine fault codes. It also provides guidance on potential causes for the detected issues, making troubleshooting simple and an on-premises activity.

Preventive and Maintenance Activity With Jaltest Cummins Code Reader

The Jaltest Cummins fault code reader is a very intuitive and user-friendly Cummins diagnostic tool that ensures that all your equipment and vehicles powered by Cummins engines are always in peak working condition. With the software, you can carry out preventive maintenance to ensure that the Cummins engines are always on the job or quickly clear fault codes whenever they arise. 

These two features are often termed preventive maintenance and clearing fault codes, both of which will be explained individually now in some detail.  

A key feature in the Cummins fault code reader is full-system scans as a component of preventive maintenance that is performed at periodic intervals. In this mode, you scan all the systems starting from the engine and going on to the hydraulics, transmissions, brakes, lights, and more. Any minor issue here is quickly resolved before it takes on a bigger form that can lead to downtime and stoppage of work, often at crucial times of projects. 

On the other hand, you have the fault-clearing work with the Cummins fault code reader. Whenever a fault arises and the code is displayed on the onboard computer screen, connect the Jaltest software laptop to it and get to the bottom of the issue. Once the code is identified per the model and make of the Cummins engine-powered vehicle, you will be guided on fault-clearing procedures. 

It is important to note here that preventive maintenance with the Jaltest diagnostic tool will keep your equipment on the job without a break. 

Cummins Engine Trouble Codes and Forced Regens

One of the faults exclusive to diesel engines is soot accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). In severe cases, it will turn out to be a major problem and the engine might seize up too. This soot buildup normally occurs when passive regens are incapable of removing the soot from the DPF and forced regens must be taken up. Typically, this condition takes place when the vehicle is on a stop-and-go workload as in excavators and dozers, and not much in long-haul vehicles such as trucks and buses. 

When such a situation arises, our Jaltest Cummins engine fault code list will show fault code SPN 3712. It means that there is engine power derate due to DPF regeneration and that the ECM has limited engine power to facilitate a forced regen cycle. The most likely causes for soot buildup in the diesel particulate filter are clogged DPF, faulty DPF sensors, problems with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), or low DEF levels. 

One way of addressing this Cummins fault code is to use the Jaltest software tool to identify the exact fault code and its associated parameters. Inspect the DPF for excessive soot buildup, potential damage, or sensor malfunction. 

Once any of these aspects are confirmed through the Jaltest Cummins engine code reader, the simplest solution is to run the engine on a high rev for around 40 minutes. The rise in the temperature of the exhaust gasses will burn away the soot accumulation. Next, the underlying issues for this state of the Cummins engine must be solved. These include replacing faulty sensors, cleaning the DPF, or addressing issues with the EGR system. 

Summing Up

The Jaltest Cummins engine code reader is optimized for your Cummins engine-powered machine or vehicle regardless of its make or model. You get expert guidance to clear any fault codes quickly so that any minor issue does not become a major one and you get dealer-level servicing on your premises.

What makes our Jaltest diagnostic software and Cummins fault code reader a notch above the competitors is the user-friendly format. You do not have to go through an elaborate setup and configuration process through any third-party applications or drivers. Just download the software on your diagnostic laptop, plug it into the onboard computer and you are ready for cutting-edge checking of the Cummins engine functions.  

Finally, we provide three updates to the Jaltest software every year. This is to ensure that the features of our software are in sync with the technical innovations made to Cummins engines every year and that the Jaltest software does not become obsolete and out of date.

It is now mandated by law that all modern vehicles and equipment have an onboard computer that tracks and manages their health so that they always maintain optimum running mode. Any malfunction is instantly notified on the display screen of the computer, typically in alpha-numeric mode known as fault codes so that rectification solutions may be implemented to get the vehicle or equipment back on the job as fast as possible.

This is where the Jaltest diagnostic software comes into the picture. When you connect the Jaltest software laptop to the onboard computer, the fault code corresponding to the problem shows up along with the interpretation of the code and the solutions required to get the vehicle back on the road.

The benefit of this Jaltest scan tool is that highly optimized solutions are provided for all systems and components. You get live maintenance and information about the state of the equipment along with detailed wiring diagrams to know the precise location of the fault. Hence, from the fault code, you can know whether the problem is with the engine, transmission, hydraulics, brakes, lights, body computer, or any other.

Almost all types of vehicles are covered by our Jaltest diagnostic software. We offer Jaltest marine software, Jaltest truck and commercial vehicle diagnostic tool, Jaltest off-highway software, and many others. As examples, a few of them will be studied in detail in this post.

The Jaltest diagnostic tool has two very important options, one is for preventive maintenance and the other is rectification of issues, from minor ones, setting them right before they become full-blown problems.

In the first instance, you can carry out periodic full system scans to check the state of your equipment. Any minor issue will be detected and can immediately be set right through the software. This procedure ensures that your equipment is always in top working condition, and if any temporary fault codes are seen, they are usually cleared within a few driving cycles.

In the second instance, fault rectification is done when there is a specific issue to contend with in any system of the equipment. Our Jaltest diagnostic software will handhold you through the full process of solving the problem, offering dealer-level resolutions. You can get your equipment working again on the premises without having to call in certified engineers or go through bulky manuals.

A quick word on the Cojali Jaltest diagnostic software before moving forward. Cojali S.L. is based in Campo de Criptana and is a Spanish developer of advanced diagnostic solutions for commercial vehicles, off-highway equipment, material handling equipment, marine vessels, and agricultural equipment such as tractors.

The Cojali Jaltest diagnostic software is developed by Cojali and can not only monitor and diagnose vehicles and equipment but can also carry out remote diagnostics. The Cojali diagnostic tool does predictive maintenance, views system data, and reads and helps clear fault codes.  

Let us now get into some of the details of the Jaltest software in specific areas of its application.

The Jaltest Marine Diagnostic Tool

Do not leave the fate of your marine engine to fate when you are out at sea. With the Jaltest marine software, you are always in control of your boat, tracking and monitoring performance and systems and keeping it running in top working condition. The marine Jaltest diagnostic software has you covered regardless of whether it is outboard motor troubleshooting, marine diesel engine troubleshooting, or jet ski troubleshooting.

Each parameter can be tested individually to know what the fault is or all systems can be scanned at a time to pre-empt any issues with the boat in advance.

You can effortlessly carry out cylinder cut-out tests, set parameter setting instructions, and calibrate trim and control levers. Testing can be carried out quickly and seamlessly since all data can be tested in real-time during sea trials at a very fast pace of 24 measurements in a mere 90 minutes.

Our Jaltest marine diagnostic tool has a very user-friendly and intuitive dashboard that sees you through every step of the fault-clearing process. The Jaltest software laptop displays all maintenance and technical information once you connect it to the engine’s onboard computer and identifies the source of the problem that needs to be cleared.

The Jaltest Truck Diagnostic Software

The main benefit of the Jaltest truck diagnostic software is that our advanced tools are good for almost all major brands and models of trucks on the road today. These include Kenworth, Paccar, Freightliner, Allison, Peterbilt, Cummins, International, Detroit, Mack, Bendix Western Star, Volvo, and more.

Hence, as an owner of a mixed fleet of trucks, having the Jaltest diagnostic software alone is enough to keep all of them on the road without a break. This maintenance software offers cutting-edge solutions in all systems of the vehicles, ranging from engines, hydraulics, and transmissions, to brakes and lights. All fault codes are quickly identified, and solutions are provided to clear them.

With the Jaltest software for trucks, you can take up simple faults like fixing loose wiring or complex ones like force regens which shall be discussed in depth in the next section. You can also undertake critical activities like speed limits and idle speeds, code injectors, and bleed braking systems for all types and makes of semi-trucks and trucks.

Further, with the Jaltest scan tool, you can carry out system scans such as after-treatment and other resolutions for antitheft, brakes, electronic control modules, engines, hybrid systems, safety, and transmissions.

Here are a few examples of the fault codes typically identified by the Jaltest truck diagnostic tool. 

• Displaying battery voltage and configuring fault code display during the system scan function.
• Restarting the connection when communication is lost with systems in different sections of the application
• Configuring measurement groups in the data recorder function.

The Jaltest diagnostic software for trucks is a comprehensive maintenance tool that is effective for trucks, ranging from heavy-duty to semi-trucks, and light commercial vehicles.

Force regens

While on the Jaltest truck diagnostic tool, one of the critical functions of diagnosis and fault rectification is forced regens exclusively for diesel-powered vehicles and equipment. This function is applicable not only for trucks and commercial vehicles but also for construction equipment such as excavators, dozers, and agricultural vehicles like tractors. The need for force regens rises only when the equipment runs on diesel-powered engines.

Forced regens are necessary when soot accumulates in the diesel particulate filter and passive regens are not enough to clear this soot buildup. This might lead to the engine seizing up or the vehicle going into limp mode, based on the severity of the accumulation. When the fault code for soot buildup shows on the Jaltest CV diagnostic tool or Jaltest AGV maintenance tool, the software will guide you through the critical procedure of forced regens.

To clear the soot buildup, the engine is run for around 40 minutes on High or Very High rev as determined by the software. The high temperature of the exhaust gasses burns off the soot and the equipment is back on the job at the earliest.

 Read more about types of trucks and semi-trucks.

Jaltest Diagnostic Software and Calibration and Parameter Settings

Another advanced function of our Jaltest software is calibration and parameter setting. To understand these functions better, let us follow an example of hydraulic systems of heavy-duty construction equipment such as excavators. All excavators have factory settings that are standardized and work within normal metrics in typical terrains.

However, if your equipment works in very challenging conditions, you must recalibrate hydraulics settings with an advanced tool like the Jaltest diagnostic software to get maximum productivity from your equipment. Calibration and hydraulics parameter settings require users to reset values to control response, pressure, and flow rate. Our software will help you to tweak and modify the functions of the hydraulic systems to maintain high operating efficiency regardless of the condition that the equipment is functioning in.

Calibrating key systems like hydraulics typically involves working on specialized components like attachment controls, position sensors, and solenoid valves. This can be done effortlessly by our Jaltest scan tool. After you connect the Jaltest software to the onboard computer of the equipment, you will be prompted to enter the make and model of your equipment along with the specific calibration activity you want to take up.

Jaltest AGV Diagnostic Maintenance Software

When it comes to agricultural vehicles like tractors, the Jaltest AGV diagnostic tool provides cutting-edge advantages over others in this niche. The software connects seamlessly with other equipment such as harvesters, combines, balers, swathers, sprayers, and more. For tractors, the software covers almost 120 different agricultural equipment brands including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota, Challenger, Volvo, Caterpillar, and others.

The Jaltest AGV is not an ordinary fault code reader but is an advanced diagnostic tool. Using the user-friendly diagnostic menu, you can navigate various functionalities such as bi-directional controls, code injectors, DPF regens, transmission calibration, rear lift & spool valves, and more. Helped by live technical and maintenance information and data, you can take preventive action and stop any minor issue from becoming a major one.

Summing Up

The Jaltest diagnostic software has a very intuitive dashboard that guides you through even the most critical and complex functions of clearing fault codes of all systems and components. You can simply follow the detailed wiring diagrams to learn about the location of the malfunction and how to clear it. You will be prompted to enter the make and model of the vehicle or equipment, and once that is done, it is not difficult to get advanced resolutions to get your fleet back on the job at the earliest.

We also provide three updates to the Jaltest software every year so that any technical innovations made by manufacturers are covered by our maintenance tool that never becomes obsolete.

Another area where our maintenance tool has an edge over others is the simplicity of setting and configuring it. Unlike others, you do not have to go through elaborate processes to make the software functional on your laptop. With Jaltest, it is plug-and-play once the software is downloaded onto any system.
