Can Bus Power Connector
• There is no hardware mechanism to detect if an ODB II connector is attached
Can Bus Power Connector
The CAN_P and CAN_N signals are connected to two pins of the 4-pin mini-fit power connector. A cable
can be connected from the mini-fit connector to the OBD-II connector of the vehicle to get both unswitched
power and CAN interface input.
The pinouts are shown in the following figure.

On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II)
The following are some of the characteristics of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II):
• OBD or OBDI standardizes the connector so that it is identical in all the vehicles
• The communication protocol remains somewhat specific depending on the make of the vehicle
• The OBDII port is always powered up, even when the vehicle is turned off
• When connecting an IR1800 CAN Bus, the vehicles owner must review the characteristics of the ODB2
