[Ovmsdev] Hacking TPMS

Tue May 26 10:24:30 HKT 2020

Just received the prototype production boards from China. Some comments:

S1 is a on/off switch used to wire in a diode+resistor to the K-line. It is needed for ‘k-line master’ in some cars.

SW1 is a four position switch used to select the power for the K-line bus. It can be one of:
0 = No connection (or a manually added voltage from the test point)
1 = USB5V: Useful for desktop testing from USB (with no 12V connected) - 5v from the USB connector
2 = LDO5V: 5v from by regulating vehicle 12v power
3 = 12V: 12v from vehicle power

Board can either go on top of the modem, or underneath it.

We have tried to make this as general purpose as possible. Will test for the next 24 to 48 hours, and then give the go-ahead for production.

Regards, Mark.

So, I’m very glad to see this feature being worked on. I may need to reconnect, upgrade to the latest firmware releases, and all of that.

This board will include a jumpered option for K-line master (one diode + one resistor), as well as jumpered powered selection (5v from usb, 5v regulated from car 12v, or direct car 12v) for the K-line bus.

The screenshot shows OVMS sending a 19 byte request to the ECU (0x0f 0x04 .... 0xf0) and the ECU responding 19 bytes (0x0f 0x05 ... 0xf0) with the 4 tyre IDs. There is a similar command to re-program the ECU with new IDs.
