I’ve got this question raised as a ‘support’ ticket:

https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2045 <https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2045>

Hi,
in some forums is a discussion which cable is needed for the Kia Soul EV?
There should be a difference between OBD-C to DB9 and OBD-M to DB9.
I hope you can tell us whcih one is the right one.
Thx!
Chriss

Looking at the current code for kia soul, it seems that both the M and C buses are used, so a custom cable is definitely required? Is this the correct pinout:

Pinout KS

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.
J1962 end should be “LEFT” style:



Is that correct? Shall I go ahead and order these?

Regards, Mark.

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.
