USB-Link cables and adapters

[Juanincho]

Hi folks, there was no thread joining all the cables and adapters wiring and/or pinouts for usb-link together, so I started this one to make it easier finding them. Also, put your experience with trucks/cars working or not. Thanks. This is a helpful doc from the Dearborn group with the pinout for several connectors found in cars and trucks. Cheers !!

[DICODIESEL]

good information my friend... one question of the conector obdll for 24 volts in nexiq is avaible???

[Juanincho]

Well the usb-link supports up to 30V but obd2 cars use 12V so there is no problem using usb-link in a car. GM uses an obd2 connector on gm trucks equipped with cat engines, but the wiring is different, and don't remember if there is a 24V version. I'll try to put it here. :five:

[Juanincho]

By the way, yesterday I used usb-link with scanxl pro software to scan a 2008 dodge ram, successfully ! Anyone else has tried on other vehicles? :five:

[jackalfa]

Juanincho,

Did you use it the OBDII adapter 448013?
or wich cable did you use it with nexiq usb link?

There is a thread here to make you own. I buy the pigtail from OBD2cables.com for 10.00 much cheaper then 100.00 up to 200.00 list.

Juanincho,

or wich cable did you use it with nexiq usb link?

That's the reason I started this thread, to share experiences in connecting cars and/or trucks to usb-link, and to help everybody to make their own adapters. In my case, to connect to the Dodge, I used the CAN data lines, pins 6 and 14 of obd2, and connected to the 13 and 12 pins of usb-link. Power came from pin 16 of obd2 to pin 8 of usb-link and GND from 4 and 5 of obd2 to pins 6 and 7 of usb-link. I started reading this: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f152/nexiq-usb-link-interface-cable-pinout-118619/ but it would be better to join all here.

[Juanincho]

OK folks, for USB-Link we have:

444009: J1962 for GM trucks with CAT engines (OBD2 connector but it is not OBD2)
448013: OBD2
448033: 3-PIN Deutsch (J1939)
402096: 6-pin Deutsch (J1587/J1708)
405097: 9-pin Deutsch (J1587/J1708, J1939)
448015: 9-Pin Deutsch CAT connector

If you have the pinouts, share them here, please !
Do someone know if the 448033 has resistance between data lines?
Is there a big difference between 444009 and 448013?

I would like to use my IC4 interface (hopefully) to do some car/pick-up scanning. Does anyone know if I can build a cable to do this?

If the IC4 is J2534 capable, it should work, and if you have the IC4 pinout, there will be no problem about making your own cable. :five:

[rp1210a]

This is the pinout for the volvo connector. It is untested so please confirm before connecting to the interface.

Dont know if 448033 has a 120ohm termination resister but if your making your own cable you dont need one. Dont forget you will need 12v and GND for your interface.

IC4 pinouts will be posted soon

[Juanincho]

Thanks for your help, rp1210, by the way, do you have the obd2 448013 pinout? I found one on other thread but I wish to be sure about it, specially with chasis gnd and signal gnd, I think they could be accidentally reversed causing a malfunction. :five:

This is a list of IC4 protocols

J1939
J1708/J1587
ISO 15765
CAN @125k baud

CAN @500k baud
CAN @1M baud
Alternate secondary CAN channel
J2284
ALDL
High Speed J1708 (ECM programming)
Additional proprietary protocols for engineering and development groups.
I'm not sure what the ones in yellow are for. I understand CAN but why so many rates?

Thanks rp1210a for the future IC4 pinouts. I'll be waiting. I'd like to build some cables.

you sure the 448033 has a built in resistor? I made my own 3 pin w/no resistor and I use it to plug directly into the cummins ecm when programming or dodge trucks, being that this is a dedicated ecm J1939 outlet that resistor is built into the ecm, try it, next time you get a cummins and ohm it out and you'll see 60ohms at the ecm side.

You're absolutely right, josh, I forgot that. If everything is fine on the car/truck we should read a resistance of almost 60 ohm at the connector (two 120 0hm resistances, one at the beginning of the network and other at the end) and usually the diag connector is in the middle of the network. But if you're using J1939 for testing an ecm or cluster or whatever outside the car/truck, you have to put the resistance, I use 120 ohm and works fine. So my conclusion is we don't need to put any resistance at the connector for use on a car/truck, and add a resistance to use it at the bench. :embarassed:

Nothing, scanxl seeks for j2534 capable devices, choose usb-link and that's all ! Install the latest usb-link drivers to be sure you have full compatibility.

Which protocols does this car use? (Look at the obd2 connector to have a guide, also check Supported Vehicles - Palmer Performance Engineering, Inc. (http://www.palmerperformance.com/support/supported_vehicles/index.php) ) The dodge I scanned some days ago had the CAN J-15765 datalink (pins 6 and 14 obd2) only, connected to the j1939 lines of usb-link. Tomorrow I'll scan a japanese mitsubishi lancer, I'll tell you what happens.

I have to look for the other threads, but I know I have been involved in several of them with pics. I have made 2-3 cables for far with my USB link. I use toyota techstream with it for Toyota, lexus & scion vehicles. Also hino and Isuzu.

Anyone have the CAT 448015 Pinout for Nexiq?

I know what pins the J1939, J1708 Power and Grounds are but I don't know what pins are use for CDL protocol, is it done over J1708? J1939? or does the Nexiq have a set of Pins for the CAT Industrial CDL connections?

Any help or pinouts will be appreciated.

For CAT machinery, the J1708 data link is replaced by the CAT Data Link, it means, there is CDL and J1939 at the connector, J1708 is not used. P.S.: Also, remember CDL is CAT Propietary, so there won't be any connector for nexiq because it can't use CDL, only original CAT interface can do it. Cheers !

[rp1210a]

Don with the CAT adapter check to see if the power and ground are reversed. I recall that was the main diff in addition to the keyed center pin.

In the pinout I have, it shows the CAT connector, with the following

D and E CDL
F and G J1939
H and J J1708
A and B Power and Ground

So I don't think it uses the J1708 wires, possible the CAN-2 wires?

it would be great if someone with a CAT adapter and both the J1939 9 PIN and the CAT Industrial 9 PIN could pin-out the terminals

[DonL]

Yes, they are not in the same positions for sure. I have a 9 PIN unkeyed connector, same as the keyed connector except one pin is moved in towards center just enough that it won't plug in.

[dieselman77]

DonL i have made the plug up and tried to connect to a cat loader and the nexiq 125032 adapter cannot connect it is not supported by nexiq but i was told the new wlv2 adapter does connect to machines have a good one

[colh]

This is first try at attachments pics of nexiq not so good
Cat 9 pin indust is grey one on right in first pic
black one is Nexiq Magikey same as USB pins
Second pic is cat connector,last is magikey
Note Cat pin outer are all large diameter as well as not having tab on centre pin
Pretty sure earlier post was right that something is reversed.Fella I bought Cat comms and Nexiq USB link from tried removing tab on centre pin of a Nexiq and fried the unit when he plugged it in to a cat industrial.

Hope this is a bit helpfull Regards All Col

[Fool2cool]

Is this an adapter youve made or one youve bought? because according to my diagrams D and E on a CAT 9 pin are CDL which is a propreity communication language not supported by nexiq? Youve also posted as them being connected to pins 14 and 13 which on my drawing is J1708- and CAN-H, are my drawings wrong?

No I think I got it wrong,my apologies.Only had base drawing for pins and went around wrong way
It is Genuine Cat Comms Adaptor 2 Cable
Part no 275-5122
I will try again in other direction
9 pin Deutsch to DB15
A to 8
B to 6
C to 7
D to 1
E to 2
F to 12
G to 13
J to 14

That is viewing Deutsch in a clockwise direction and DB15 starting in top LH corner at no 1to 8 in the RH and 9 to 15 in the lower row.Again Sorry about mistake.

Ok my friend, for pre-2003 or 2005 dodge (I can? t remember the exact year) no-common rail cummins engines, you can connect to them with insite and do whatever you want. After those years, cummins only manufacture the parts and provide the electronics, but removed the electronic support (the cummins soft won?t be able to connect ) and you have to use the dodge dealer software.

If it is a 99, it should have the obd2 plug, where pins 4 and 5 are ground and 16 is Vbat, check the obd2 pinout already posted here, the other pins will tell you which protocol the ecm uses, and depending of it, you can use some jumpers to connect the usb-link. I'm pretty sure you'll have to use the j1939 protocol.

Hello tres8,

I checked the Nexiq site. 401003 needs cable to connect to USB Link. I don't have the special cable.

Thanks.......

downbut other than that there's no difference work like champ for me let me know when you figure it out see you

Thank you tres8. You are correct. Your picture shows that the 401003 adapter is directly connected to USB link. I thought a cable was needed between 401003 and USB link.

I will order this adapter.

Thank you again.

Hi does anyone know the configuration of the Renault truckk OBD diagnostic plug?

[jsjoe]

Hi all! i am trying to make an obd to db15 cable for renault trucks to nexiq adapter. thisis what i have so far......

Renault OBD female: Pin 16 Battery +'ve (orange wire)
Pin 13 J1708 (brown wire)
Pin 12 J1708 (orange wire)
Pin 7 unknown (yellow wire)
Pin 5 ground (blue wire)
Pin 4 ground (blue wire)
Pin 1 unknown (orange wire)

So i know pin 15 on nexiq is J1708 +'ve
pin 14 on nexiq is J1708 -'ve
pin 8 on nexiq is battery +'ve
pin 6 on nexiq is ground

So it must be OBD pin 16 to db15 pin 8 and OBD pin 5 to db15 pin 6, but which of the J1708 wires is +'ve and which is -'ve.

I think the brown is negative and the orange is positive. Can someone help me with this please!

Once i know which wire is which i should be able to make the cable

Thanks in advance

Hello DK,

I need to scan/diagnose two CAT C12 marine engines. My tool is CAT ET + Nexiq USB link.

Please advise me if the Nexiq 405048 Y cable can communicate with this engine. This cable has the 6 and 9 pin connectors which I often use on Cummins and Detroits.

Please share pinout of CAT diagnostic socket.

Left picture is the CAT socket. Right pic is the Nexiq 9 pin connector.

Many thanks DK........

[hercamp]

U have to read the volt before try,in marines eng... the polarity of connection is different to the deutch 9 pins of trucks.

[rp1210a]

Your pinout is last one on bottem. If the datalink is CDL only you will need to use the caterpillar interface. Nexiq does not support the CDL protocol.

Hello rp1210a,

I have studied the CAT cable. I think the only way to go is to use CAT adapter III with the correct 9 pin cable.

I am now thinking of buying China clone. Have you tried clone?

Thanks

[rp1210a]

havent tried the clone. Heard that the cat3 clone is really a cat2 clone. so might be bettor off to go with a cat2 if your going to get a clone. you can pick up a used genuine cat2 adapter off ebay for about $500

Didnt get the chance to try but the noregon/vansco interfaces look alot like the cat2 adapter. maybe guts are the same and firmware is the only difference. A while back picked up a few of them for under $50 each.

[jIMBLOME]

Great post. But is that the red or the white??:manusign:

Thanks for this info rp1210a. You are probably right about the clones.

The offers I received for China CAT III clones have the RS232 to USB converter cable. From info I gathered, the CAT Adapter II uses an RS232 connector, and the CAT Adapter III connects thru USB.

I've ran into COM port conflicts in the past when assigning ports.

[motoraio italiano]

poptest, you can not use this, only throble, i have try for friends twoo weeks, no way to make conection to all caterpillar product, pc port go in conflict, thoble with genuine cat et, betteuse nexq adapert i have, not use 9 pin conectors is ok works, or by genuine fro ebay, last cat 3 not need to do all feature, ciao

I found this adapter not long ago, does anyone know if it could work instead of nexiq?

[dimitar22]

It will work but nexiq is much much better.

I don't really know anything about this adapter, so I can't say much, but I've been using USB-Link for 4 years, and I haven't had any problem with it, it's compatible with almost all the software and makes of vehicles.

I guess I recovered my investement in usb-link in less than a year, and is still working.
:rock:

[ddmech]

I dont know about this adapter,bu tI have owned and used everything Nexiq has ever made.My first was a pdm,in which I still use dailey,usb,bluetoth,and now wvl2 wifi.I have had few issues with any of them.I know they are more expensive,but weell worth the money in my opinion.

[rebel127]

Does anybody know if the 6" cable adapter for the nexiq is just a strait 16 pin serial port cable ? Thank you in advance

that will work with almost everything except isuzu idss and hino. You might also have some issues with newer cat and freightliner. Thats all assuming that it comes with an rp1210a driver

all the cables for the nexiq are straight through to db15/atari

[Wayne64SS]

Does anyone have the RP1210A-B API spec? I've built my own hardware interface cable (instead of nexiq) but now need the RP1210 side of things to make it work with the DDCT and DDRS etc. I won't buy the nexiq because I only need this for a project I'm doing. (I'm converting an old 2 stroke 4-53t Detroit to run on DDEC IV). I'm not normally a heavy truck mechanic, so I won't ever make the $$ back if I buy the nexiq. I would very much appreciate if someone here can share the API or knows where I can get a copy.

Thanks,
Wayne

Write me you VIN and what's the unit name to get it for you.
