Study Notes
OBD-II and Communication Protocols
- High-speed CAN BUS communicates through terminals 6 and 14.
- Class 2 communication in GM vehicles uses terminal 2 of the data link connector.
- OBD-II uses terminal 4 for chassis ground and terminal 5 for signal ground in all vehicles.
- A breakout box (BOB) accesses BUS terminals while using a scan tool; common in BMW and Mercedes with a 38-cavity diagnostic connector.
Protocols and Baud Rates
- UART operates at a baud rate of 8192 bps and toggles at 5 volts.
- Low-speed networks function at less than 10,000 bits per second.
- Domestic Digital BUS connects multiple components in a single-ring structure with speeds up to 5,600,000 bps.
Module Communication
- Chrysler OBD-I vehicles (1981-1995) utilized Serial Communications Interface (SCI), while Chrysler PCI is a three-wire protocol at terminal 2 of OBD-II.
- GMLAN is General Motors' term for high-speed CAN communication.
- Modules, or nodes, reduce wiring complexity and facilitate data sharing across sensors and different modules.
Signal Variations
- GM Class 2 communication toggles between 0 and 7 volts.
- CAN H and CAN L maintain voltage at 2.5 volts when not transmitting; CAN H rises to 3.5 volts when active.
Additional Concepts
- Flexray BUS is a high-speed serial communication system and a version of Byteflight.
- Motorola Interconnect (MI) is a single-wire protocol with one master and multiple slave modules.
- Multiplexing allows multiple information signals to be sent simultaneously over a single wire.
Gateway Module and Diagnostic Codes
- The gateway module acts as a primary communication module for scan tool data, typically found in IPC or body control modules.
- U codes represent diagnostic trouble codes related to network communication, helping to identify malfunctioning modules or circuits.
