CONTINUED: The subject of ECM ground is extremely important. Lots of issues are completely related to sensor ground issues, and not the component themselves. THanks for participating. I enjoy your questions.

[@ADPTraining]

CONTINUED: The CAN network may talk to a slower (LIN) network by means of a "Gateway". Gateways are devices that match two unequal speed networks together. The gateway circuit may be, and usually is, inside another module like the instrument cluster module. Makes sense?

[@ADPTraining]

Good question... Your model is probably a Non-CAN scanner. CAN became universal in 2007 so yes, you'd probably have to replace it. Too bad. Thanks for posting.

@oobuc5 Great to hear that and that's why we do these videos. Our chance to give back to the community. All we ask is that you post and participate. Thanks...

[@ADPTraining]

You're asking multiple questions in one. With reference to ground you should never get more than 100mV with engine running and 300mV with engine cranking. The other pins depend on the COMM protocol being used. I suggest my book "Automotive Vehicle Networks" available where books are sold including amazon. Thanks for posting.

[@ADPTraining]

That's called bi-directional control. It is part of OBD-2 OEM, but the issue is where to get he commands.

1) DLC has no connection to gateway. Gateway receives CAN-high/low and LIN wires and matches unequal speed networks together. 2) Sensor GND feeds the sensors through the ECM & Chassis GND is just that. Sensor GND is a perfect indicator of how well ECM is grounded. 3) Yes, CAN-high/low is linked to DLC. THe topology (star, token ring, etc) is really irrelevant. Regardless of how the CAN network is connected, two CAN wires will always reach the DLC from where you can do lots of diagnostics.

Hi. Excellent video. Enjoyed it a lot. I also play similar games and like them. Yours seems a little bit different though. Anyways, keep it up. Thanks a lot!

[@ADPTraining]

Wow... This is a very smart & deep comment, thanks. A reminder, I do have an "Automotive Networks" book, which goes deep into the subject. 1st Question: Yes, all networks are connected as NODES, usually in a start topology. 2nd: DLC you can check all those, plus the network itself. 3rd: Power, Gnd & 5 volt reference (5V = ECM alive) 4th: Only 1 protocol per network. LIN is slow (seat, A/C, etc), CAN is fast (ECM, TCM, BCM) CAN is also being slowly replaced by a faster protocol. Thanks.

[@ADPTraining]

You make a good point. The DLC is an output point and doesn't provide anything in particular. It is a source for testing. The ECM gets Ground, then through a circuit, also provides a filtered "sensor Gound". The only reason it's also on the DLC is because the developers of OBD-2 "CARB" though it would be nice to have for "TESTING" purposes. Chassis Gnd is often a source of trouble at the ECM. Sensor Gnd on the DLC is a fast way to determine if ECM is grounded properly. I've written a lot on it.

[@MrKasperaung]

Hi What are the parameter value for testing other pins like 2,6,7,14,15 to signal ground?

[@sivucit]

Thanks Mandy Awesome.. One Last Question, does DLC talk to Gateway via CAN or it uses any other PIN in those 16.. 2) What does Sensor Ground and Ground in DLC have anything to do..?. i can understand that B+ on 16th pin is to provide scanner the power. not sure the sensor ground and ground purpose?.. 3) does CANhigh and CAN low from DLC is connected to Star network or it is connected to PCM.. pls advise.

[@ALVINCAMPSR1]

Thank you for the reply!

[@shaymax4063]

i know its an old video but still can someone please help me identify which pins are the TEN and GND pleaaaaaaseeee

[@ADPTraining]

This post is relevant today as it was when I posted it. Watch the video and count from #1. #16 is the power pin.

[@ADPTraining]

Better yet, get the Ebook with all you'll ever need OBD-II. www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/Automotive_Diagnostic_Repair_Book_Catalog.htm

[@sivucit]

Thanks So much. With respect to point 2, does ECM receives sensor ground and chasis ground from DLC connector, if not i dont know why DLC need to have sensor ground and chasis ground in the connector.. please if u can.

[@omarsallam123]

do u think it's possible to write to the ecu lets say activate breaks

[@sivucit]

i assume, DLC, PCM or ECM, BCM are connected as node in network. Is it possible if I Can SCAN BCM when my ECM is bad for U codes?... second, what should i check if DLC is bad, just power, ground,sensor ground??. Third what should i check for bad ECM, just for power and ground?.. 4th). all latest card that have CAN network can also talk in other protocol such as LIN, BEAN etc.. is that right. I assume CAN is mandated only for PCM/ECM communication, not for BCM or chasis is that right.

[@mrkhokhar4895]

the DLC for my Lumina 2003, LTZ 3.8 V6 is different than this respectively, pin2, 4 connected to earth, 5 to earth , 9 for primary serial data, 12 for ABS test enable and 16 for battery voltage but all other remaing pins are blank(not connected to any ECM or computer or electronics circuits, I don't know why its different .

[@linlinlixin2637]

Quick question, my car has no wires on pins 6 and 14. Therefore I cannot do the resistance test on the CAN bus. How else can I do the resistance test on the CAN? thank you.

[@ADPTraining]

If you have no wires, then it doesn't have a CAN network. What year is it? Year, make, model engine size.

@@ADPTraining its a 2006 b9 tribeca. 6 cylinders. With a p0500 code, left front wheel speed sensor. With the abs light on. 3 new sensors and abs module replaced and it still the same. OBD report says CAN shorted or grounded or bad PCM.

I have an Audi 100 2.5 TDI AAT 1993. I am trying to change the OBD2 to observe the DTC by my ELM. I connect the K-line to pin 7, L-line to the pin 15, the chassis ground to pin 4, the signal ground to pin 5, and the +12 V to pin 16. Still, I could not connect to the ECU. What should be the problem? How can I communicate with the ECU? Is there any suggestion?

[@ADPTraining]

www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/scan_1_obd2_auto_repair_scanner.html This vehicle is NOT OBD-II. You'll never communicate with a 1993 using a cheap ELM. You need a VAG scanner.

A mechanic pulled my obd2 plug out of the wires and now I have no power to the plug so I want to check to make sure the wires are in the correct place. Is there a diagram for the wires so I can check wire colors are in the correct place?

[@ADPTraining]

Here's what to do: get the wiring diagram here, www.autodiagnosticsandpublishing.com/Automotive_Interactive_Wiring_Diagrams.html Then, match the colors to the OBD-2 pin positions and snap the pins in place. There's really nothing else to do.

[@ADPTraining]

Make sure when purchasing the wiring diagram, give us year, make, model, engine, and type network/OBD-2 system.

I have a 95 dodge stratus es, I have power to the 16 pin and I have continuity to the #4&#5 pin,still my code scanner does not communicate,what could be wrong?

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Gerardo Acosta 1996 and Newer Vehicles use the OBD2 standard communication protocol. You must check and make sure the OBD port on your car is wired according to the OBD2 standard. You might have to make some changes, such as placing a jumper wire between pins 7 & 8. (Just an example, do NOT attempt without research first). Find an OBD port pin-out wiring diagram for your specific car (Year, Make, Model, Regions), and compare it to the OBD2 standard communication pin-out wiring diagram... My first advice would be to search and read up on some Forums specific to your car...

in my toyota hilux there is a diagnosis socket in engine pay it is 22 pin there in it a tiny Bridging pin what can happen if i remove the Bridging pin ? thanks for all great videos .

[@ADPTraining]

This is the older diagnostic Toyota proprietary connector. The jumper is for diagnostic purposes. Each one of those pins is a different module. That connector also provides datastream on the Toyota factory tool. I suggest you use the underdash OBD-2 connector for all your engine and transmission issues.

[@mtrltoolman]

ADPTraining thanks for replay. some one told me I should remove the jumper. If I removed the jumper can I drive the car normally ?

[@mtrltoolman]

ADPTraining in the repair manual they mentioned a variable resistor what is it ? is it a tps sensor ?

[@ADPTraining]

Yes, a variable resistor is a TPS sensor or any other sensor that's 3 wires and changes through lever action. It may not be a true variable resistor, but operates the same.
