OBD CONNECTOR
PURPOSE
ORIENTING WIRES
An OBD2 connector is included with
most
1480 systems, and the following
4 wires are already connected to it:
1)
(+)12v Power Input
2)
(–) Ground Input
3)
CAN-H
4)
CAN-L
Many Toyota, Lexus, the Subaru BRZ and Nissan cars allow you to connect
the 1480’s OBD2 plug to your car’s OBD.
(You still need to separately connect
the BROWN wire to the Siren plus any optional connections — see pg. 13.)
Honda cars and some new Toyota models allow you to connect the OBD2
plug to your car’s OBD to use (+)12v Power and (–) Ground, but on those
cars the two CAN wires will need to be cut off from the 1480’s OBD2 plug
and connected manually using the included PosiTap connectors. Also, some
Honda cars use a 1-wire CAN system, in which case CAN-H and CAN-L
wires are not used at all, and the 1480’s GREEN wire is used instead.
AL-
WAYS consult our 1480 Compatibility Charts to know if you can use OBD!
The OBD2 connector included with the 1480 has a special feature that al-
lows you to decide from which end the wires exit the connector, as shown in
the diagram atop on the next page. This is useful because the direction you
must insert the OBD plug varies from car to car.
Once you have oriented the wires as you like, simply slide the cap back over
the circuit board and then use a wire tie to secure the wires as shown.
If you connect the OBD2 connector with all 4 wires attached to
HONDA
cars that have
1-wire CAN
, you will cause a fault in the car’s body com-
puter. Such will result in a
Warning light
that can only be reset at the
dealer, at your expense.
PLEASE READ ALL 1480 DOCUMENTA-
TION BEFORE CONNECTING ANYTHING!
WARNING!
