Description:

Some parameters from OBD solution not available with standard connection.

Cause:

Different manufacturers provide can data using different PIDs'/SID's (except standard eOBD PID's , that may not always be available) also they are using different non-standard pins on OBD connector, to transfer this data. all non-mentioned pins are non-standard - or manufacturer specific. Including 7 and 15 in newer models

Actions:

  1. In Our OBD Supported Vehicle list https://vehicles.ruptela.com/?list=obd You can find suggestion of connection (S – Standard Harness / P – PSA and VAG group harness) PSA: Citroen, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall / PSA: Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche and Ducati

But there are more alternative connection methods for different vehicle brands such as: Ford, Nissan, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Smart, KIA, Hyundai, FCA (FCA - Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, and Ram Trucks).

  1. If in supported vehicle list recommended harness will be S (Standard) connection will be CAN1 High – PIN6 / CAN1 Low – PIN14:

In this case configuration should be CAN1 – OBD (Select proper manufacturer specific data, or leave Auto-detect), and enable all OBD parameters

  1. If in supported vehicle list recommended harness will be P (PSA and VGA Group) connection will be CAN1 High – PIN6 / CAN1 Low – PIN14 and CAN2 High – PIN3 / CAN2 Low – PIN8

In this case configuration should be: CAN1 – OBD (Select PSA or VAG manufacturer specific data) and You will be able to select CAN2 – as Vendor OBD. Enable all OBD parameters.

  1. Vehicles such as: Ford, Nissan, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Smart, Renault, Dacia, LADA, Alpine and Mobilize have some parameters available from PIN6 and PIN14, but alternative way of connection will be: CAN1 High – PIN6 / CAN1 Low – PIN14 and CAN2 High – PIN3 / CAN2 Low – PIN8*

*Currently We don’t support double connection configuration from FW side for Ford, Nissan, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Smart, Renault, Dacia, LADA, Alpine and Mobilize vehicles. So for this time use only CAN1 – OBD (Manufacturer Specific Data with Your brand / or Auto-detect).

  1. Vehicles such as: KIA, Hyundai, FCA (FCA - Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, and Ram Trucks) will have some parameters available from standard connection to PIN6 and PIN14, for additional parameters You will need to connect: CAN1 High – PIN6 / CAN1 Low – PIN14 and CAN2 High - PIN1 / CAN2 Low – PIN9*

*To configure device for FCA vehicles, You will need to select CAN1 – OBD and set Manufacturer Specific data as FIAT or Peugeot (most of FCA vehicle go under FIAT or Peugeot brand) and CAN2 – Vendor OBD:

  1. To receive OBD data – You must connect and set Proper Ignition Detection. FCA, Hyundai and KIA vehicle usually have Ignition in OBD PIN3. VAG Group vehicles have Ignition in PIN1. We always recommend connecting directly to Vehicles Ignition Circuit for proper detection. You can set multiple Ignition detection parameters such as DIN4 (if it will be connected directly), Power Supply >13300mV (voltage may vary in different vehicles) or GPS speed >5km/h:
