[Ovmsdev] Special cable for Kia Soul EV for OVMS V3.

Tue Jan 16 12:06:29 HKT 2018

I’ve been dealing with the same custom cable provider since 2012. He’s very flexible, fast, and very reliable (especially for OBDII style cables). He delivers direct to Fasttech, and we don’t even bother with QC any more - he has been 100% perfect for the past five years. All we do is a visual inspection and stock count on receipt. MOQ (50) is usually the only issue.

Pinouts we have in the past produced for OVMS OBDII cables:

Pinout A (both left-hand and right-hand right-angled have been produced)

J1962-M   DB9-F   Signal
4         3       Chassis/Power GND
6         7       CAN-H
14        2       CAN-L
16        9       +12V Vehicle Power

J1962 end should be MALE plug with right angle cable. DB9 end should be FEMALE.
Both ends should be enclosed in shells, and cable should be 1metre in length.

Pinout B (left hand right-angle)

J1962-M   DB9-F   Signal
4         3       Chassis/Power GND
13        7       CAN-H
12        2       CAN-L
16        9       +12V Vehicle Power

J1962 end should be MALE plug with angle cable. DB9 end should be FEMALE.
Both ends should be enclosed in shells, and cable should be 1metre in length.

Pinout C (both left-hand and right-hand right-angled have been produced)

J1962-M   DB9-F   Signal
4         3       Chassis/Power GND
6         7       CAN-H (primary CAN)
14        2       CAN-L (primary CAN)
13        5       CAN-H (alternate CAN)
12        4       CAN-L (alternate CAN)
16        9       +12V Vehicle Power

J1962 end should be MALE plug with angle cable. DB9 end should be FEMALE.
Both ends should be enclosed in shells, and cable should be 1metre in length.

Pinout B was obsoleted in late 2016 and replaced with C. So, currently we have A and C variants.

From my understanding, what you need is:

Pinout D

J1962-M   DB9-F   Signal
4         3       Chassis/Power GND
6         7       CAN-H (primary CAN)
14        2       CAN-L (primary CAN)
1         5       CAN-H (alternate CAN)
9         4       CAN-L (alternate CAN)
16        9       +12V Vehicle Power

J1962 end should be MALE plug with angle cable. DB9 end should be FEMALE.
Both ends should be enclosed in shells, and cable should be 1metre in length.

Would that be in a left or right hand orientation?

Right: 

Regards, Mark.
