Alientech has added KESS3 BOOT mode support for the Continental ACM SPC564A70 aftertreatment control unit, fitted to Dongfeng KC heavy-duty trucks.
What changed
Announced by Alientech (KESS3 Protocol Release, Upgrade 3.41), the update adds BOOT mode access to the Continental ACM SPC564A70, supporting programming and repair operations on the truck’s aftertreatment system.
Key detail for workshops: BOOT-mode programming and repair access to the ACM aftertreatment module — not a road-registration-relevant tune, this is aftertreatment system servicing.
Which vehicle is covered
Dongfeng KC heavy-duty trucks fitted with a 10.6-litre engine, produced from 2019 onward.
Why it matters here
Worth flagging plainly: Dongfeng is not a market brand in Australia, and this update is aimed at workshops servicing non-European/non-AU fleets. We’re covering it here for completeness in tracking Alientech’s protocol releases, not because it’s a common job for local workshops.
