I've found a couple of manufacturers willing to do this for a reasonable price (at a quantity of perhaps 50 to 100 units). Is the specification below ok? Any problems? Regards, Mark. On 11 Nov, 2012, at 1:36 PM, Mark Webb-Johnson <mark@webb-johnson.net> wrote:
OK, so I think the pinouts we require are as per Michael B's diagram:
J1962-M DB9-F Signal 4 3 Chassis/Power GND 6 7 CAN-H 14 2 CAN-L 16 9 +12V Vehicle Power
A right angle J1962-M plug and about 1metre cable should be ok.
This one cable should support both Twizy and Volt/Ampera, and also any ODBII car with an ODBII compliant CAN bus.
Does that sound ok?
I'll ask around in China to see if I can find someone to make these up cheaply, and get them on Fasttech.
Regards, Mark.

For the record: I now have connected GND to both 4+5 on the OBD2 plug, works as well.

Hi,
i use this pinout: Primary Data Link Connector- (DLC) X84 *Under drivers side of IP
Pin 1 is Low Speed GMLAN (SWCAN ~33.3kbps) - Body Electrical Services Only Pin 2-3 Unused Pin 4 chassis ground (for scan tool) Pin 5 data reference ground
Pins 6(+) & 14 (-) High Speed GMLAN- Primary Powertrain Bus (DWCAN ~500 kbps) Pins 7-11 Unused Pins 12(+) & 13(-) High Speed GMLAN- Chassis Expansion Bus (DWCAN ~500 kbps) Pin 15 Unused
Pin 16 B+ (for scan tool power)
OBDII Sub-D Signal 16 9 +12V 4 6+3 GND-Chassis 6 7 CAN_H 14 2 CAN_L
I connect 6 and 3 at the Sub-D side together. So it looks like we can use the same Cable (for the Primary Can Bus in the Volt). >> Fasttech?
Bye Michael

Yes, chassis GND vs signal GND, but can is differential, so no GND needed for the signal. We only need GND for 12V power. For vehicles, I think chassis GND is ok.
I think Volt bus we are using is on the same pins:

Maybe 1 cable can do both?

Mark,
yes, that's chassis ground -- shouldn't it be? I interpreted the OVMS GND as the ground for the supply voltage (12V), as the CAN bus has its dedicated "low" line.
I just looked up some OBD2 sites: 4+5 normally are the same. One page says an OBD2 cable should have identical potential on 4 and 5 to ensure proper function. Another OBD2 cable I bought connects them, so maybe for a general product GND should connect both, but I don't think there's a difference on the car side... normally.
But I've also seen some info on non standard OBD2 plugs, also for some GM and Opel cars, having other signals where the CAN bus should be, so I'm also interested in your pinout, Michael J.

Michael,
One question: you have GND on pin #4 (odb). I have that shown as chassis ground, not signal ground. Is that correct?
Michael J: is that the same connector and pins as you are using for the Volt?

I also think the Twizy would not respond to the port, as the whole CAN bus is quiet when the car is off and not charging. Plus, because the charger draws some 30-35 W for many hours after charging has completed, many drivers use auto-power-off sockets. > > 3) I'll forward your specification to the german Twizy forum. > > Regards, > Michael > > > Am 09.11.2012 15:23, schrieb Mark Webb-Johnson: >> >> Twizy support seems to be coming along nicely, thanks to the amazing work Michael is doing.
