Modern vehicles increasingly use 48V mild-hybrid technology, where the integrated starter-generator unit (iBSG) plays a key role in engine shut-off (Start/Stop function), regenerative braking, and electric assistance. Checking the reliable operation of these complex units is essential to maintain the vehicle's performance and efficiency.
The TSH-048VC tester enables workshops to:
Quickly Check the Charging Cycle: Using the switch, the charging process can be simulated, and the built-in voltmeter can check whether the iBSG unit is correctly supplying voltage to the 48V battery.
Test Starting Capability: Activating the „Starting” mode simulates engine start-up, verifying the unit's ability to provide sufficient torque to start the main engine.
Validate Connections: Measurements can be taken directly on the main power cables using the B+ and B- terminals, eliminating harness faults.
Although the TSH-048VC is fundamentally a functional tester, an optional diagnostic tool (available separately) connectable via the OBD2 port provides deeper insight into the system. This accessory makes it possible to:
Read Communication Protocols: Access fault codes and live data sent by the LIN bus or other control units.
Fine-tune Parameters: In certain cases, fine-tuning or resetting parameters of the control unit.
Perform Detailed Fault Analysis: Decoding specific error messages that arise during the testing process, which is essential for more complex failures.
This Rotrix tester is the ideal choice for the following users:
Independent Car Services: Especially those that are servicing an increasing number of mild-hybrid vehicles.
Specialized Electric Vehicle Services: Those specializing in 48V systems.
Generator and Starter Motor Repair Shops: Those expanding their services towards modern hybrid components.
The Rotrix TSH-048VC prioritizes reliability and fast operation, ensuring that Continental 48V iBSG units can be checked quickly and accurately during service processes.
Related Products: The Rotrix offering also includes the TSH-048VC+ model, which already incorporates the software tool providing deeper diagnostic functions.
