OBD II Cable Assemblies


The web site contained three pages which referenced the OBD vehicle interface. The main OBD description page, the OBD pinout page, and a Glossary page for OBD terms. It appears that the OBD pinout page [signal assingments] is identical to the main page.

Both of those pages were pointing to graphic [gif] files to detail OBD II cable assemblies. Now those gif files are moving to their own pages, looks like tonight the correct links will reside off the OBD pin-out page. The main OBD bus page will be up-dated some time later.

Looks like there are 4 of 7 pages generated tonight;
OBDII to DB15 pin Cable assembly,
Narrow OBDII female connector to VW 2x2 connector Cable assembly,
Right Angle OBDII to DB9 pin Cable assembly,
OBDII to Right Angle DB9-pin Cable assembly.

Because all the pages contain links to all the other pages, they all need to be checked to insure that they all have the correct new links. So not all pages contain the correct link 'yet', as some have not been generated when another page had not been generated. It's a copy/paste error.

The OBD [On-Board Diagnostic] interface is used in cars and trucks to check engine status. The new pages show different cable assemblies, but pin outs are coming. The new links are under the OBDII Cable Assemblies heading per the pages refered.
