 Is Alientech KESS3 protocol 3000 safe on obd, Ford Ranger T6 2018 3.2 Sid 209?? Here is the clue. If it is a non smart key, yes, it is safe. Read ID first make sure the protocols are right. Ford ranger, Ford transit, Mazda bt-50, same ecu same engine. If it’s smart key just save yourself the hassle and use boot mode. If it’s normal ignition key then you can do obd. If works via OBD, just don’t unplug OBD connector when flashing. Autotuner is faster but it is safe also with KESS3 . We have done a few and they are fine. Just takes forever to read and write so make sure you have a good battery stabiliser on. Feedback: Updated. It is not keyless one. Carried out via obd completed all ok. www.iecutool.eu

  Alientech KESS3 recent update brings a new Continental SID321 ECU (OBD/Bench mode). Tested on a Sid321 Nissan Navara all good. Working perfectly by OBD and bench. Did Navara 2021 in bench mode, made one file revision again on bench. Then cosutomer asked to add egr off also, couldn’t connect bench third time so did by obd instead using the bench read. Read obd to compare and bench/obd read is same. no eeprom just flash, so cannot use this protocol to clone ecu. Worked perfectly. With Alientech every bench or boot solution always reads Full. That is why it is the most secure tool on the market.
