OBDSTAR DC706 Failed to Read Ford KA BSI Solution

By | February 25, 2026

Problem:

I’m having trouble reading this bsi off a Ford Ka (Fiat 500) with OBDSTAR DC706 on bench mode. Tried with and without 120 ohm, no luck. Any suggestions?

Solution:

Select Ford BSI (Ford BSI Delphi 70F3379+93C86) rather than Fiat BSI. Don’t forget to connect a power supply.

 

Update:

Fixed. Important to select Ford for a ka not Fiat, despite the chips being the same!
Worked fine when selecting as Ford.
