Diagnostic software/ tool
« on: December 17, 2020, 11:23:19 AM »
I have done a search only finding old posts from a couple of years ago.

Are there any diagnostic tools available for kymco.
I dont mind using laptop rather than handheld tool if needs be.

Also has any one on here got experience in using software on kymco mopeds. 2018 up.

Yes, there is a diagnostic tool from Kymco for about 200 bucks USD. Good luck getting one from a dealer these days!

I cant find one anywhere,  one sold for £25 a week before I needed one on a selling site. Typical lol

I think there is a way to do this with car stuff. There is a bluetooth OBDII plug-in that can be wired to the three pins of the Kymco connector. Then use a free app on your phone or tablet to "see" inside your ECU. Pin diagrams on the internet for the OBDII connector and wiring diagram for the bike. Have not tried it yet so you might be the pioneer!

Just ride the scooter. No need to worry about things that might happen.  My experience Kymcos are very reliable....my 2019 Xtown 300i works well.

Why do you say "Good Luck getting from a dealer these days"?
The tool is available to order, it all depends if KUS has it.

Have you noticed how many people have been trying to get Kymco parts have had problems? There are a couple of places that have some but a great deal goes right back to KUSA. It still winds up a problem for the customer to solve.

I have had good luck getting parts from my local dealer in a timely fashion.  A speedometer cable for my People S took a long time but that's the only issue I've had. It took longer to get a fuel pump assembly  for my Yamaha Majesty then my Kymco Xciting. The Yamaha pump assembly was $380. and the Kymco pump assembly was $143.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

There are exceptions.
Stig was able to get the Yamaha pump without the fuel sender assembly for way less than the $143!

Have you any idea which 3 pins from standard obd2 plug goes to which pins in kymco plug.
I have various different car diagnostic  , elm327 connects to most things.

The three in the Kymco plugbare easy, 12v, ground and data. The data is some kind of format that is present in the OBDII pin out. What it is, I would have to google it again. Gimme a minute and maybe I can find it again....

Your a star, I will look into doing this soon.
I also remember there being two plugs next to the battery, one being the obvious diagnostic plug and one right next to it., think it was a 2 pin.
Do you have any idea on the pins for kymco plug, I know I can use a multimeter,  but it's always nice to know.
