Default Diagnostic connector - 11-01-2009 , 06:16 AM






Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help?

I have recently bought a campervan based on a Fiat Ducato chassis. It
has a three pin diagnostic connector. I have an interface that uses
the standard 16 pin plug for use with my car. Does anyone know if it
is possible to make or buy an adaptor to use with the Fiat?

Russell.

Almost certainly. IIRC most connectors are actually serial links.

diagnostic connector is an automotive context,it's generic term
referring to a vehicle's self diagnostic and reporting capability. obd
systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state
of health information for various vehicle sub systems.
