Overview

This is a KiCad project for a simple ISO-9141 interface board. This allows a microcontroller to be interfaced to car's ISO-9141 (OBD2) port.

Please see related firmware projects:

Here is the official ISO standard document that explains all of the details of this interface. What makes this interesting is that the transmit/receive to/from the vehicle all happens on a single wire.

Interfaces (V2)

J1 is the connection to the vehicle:

  • Pin 1 - 12V battery power
  • Pin 2 - KLINE
  • Pin 3 - Ground

J2 is the connector to the microcontroller:

  • Pin 1 - Data transmit (data from controller to vehicle)
  • Pin 2 - Data receive (data from vehicle to controller)
  • Pin 3 - Control line which allow the KLINE to be pulled low for the purposes of signalling
  • Pin 4 - An indicator LED that can be used by the controller
  • Pin 5 - +5V regulated power for controller
  • Pin 6 - Ground

Hardware

The V2 PCB:

Here's what it looks like in real life (V1):

Connector Notes

The scanner/instrument uses a SAE J1962 connector (male)

The vehicle uses a J1962F female connector like this: https://www.amazon.com/Goliton-Connection-Connector-Harness-Assembled/dp/B09NBWQLMQ
