OBDII/EOBDII Breakout Box – Essential DLC Diagnostics

As any seasoned mechanic knows, connecting an expensive diagnostic scan tool to a faulty On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port is a quick way to damage your equipment and lose valuable workshop time. This OBDII/EOBDII Breakout Box is designed to prevent just that, offering a critical first line of defence and deeper diagnostic capabilities for any modern vehicle. Before you even think about plugging in your main scan tool, this breakout box allows you to thoroughly test the 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) for any underlying faults. It connects in series with your existing 16-pin OBDII/EOBDII diagnostic equipment, meaning you can monitor critical data in real-time *while* your scan tool is connected and communicating. This capability is invaluable for diagnosing intermittent issues or verifying communication integrity under load. Beyond initial checks, this tool truly shines when you need to delve deeper. Its design allows for direct connection of multimeters and oscilloscopes to any pin on the DLC. This opens up a world of advanced diagnostics:
  • Verify Power & Ground: Quickly confirm stable 12V or 24V power and ground circuits to the DLC.
  • Monitor Communication Signals: Use an oscilloscope to analyse signal integrity on CAN H, CAN L, K-Line, L-Line, VPW+, PWM+, and PWM- pins. The integrated communication protocol indicators clearly identify which pins correspond to which protocol, making troubleshooting straightforward.
  • Check for Shorts or Opens: Pinpoint wiring issues within the DLC circuit that a standard scan tool might not detect directly.
Compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems, this breakout box offers broad application across passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and even some heavier-duty applications. The selectable pin voltage indicator provides real-time voltage readings for any chosen pin, giving you immediate feedback on circuit status. Crucially, the built-in overload protection safeguards any connected diagnostic equipment from damage due to short circuits or incorrect voltages at the DLC. In a busy workshop, this isn't just another gadget; it's a vital piece of kit that protects your investment in diagnostic tools and streamlines your fault-finding process. Avoid unnecessary damage to your scan tools and gain a clearer understanding of vehicle communication issues from the outset.Test the onboard diagnostics port for any faults before connecting other diagnostic devices to the DLC. The breakout box is designed to be connected in series with 16-pin OBDII/EOBDII diagnostic equipment. It can also be connected to multimeters and oscilloscopes. Compatible with 12 and 24V systems. The selectable pin voltage indicator shows the real-time voltage of the selected pin. Communication Protocol Indicator - Pin 6 = CAN H, Pin 14 = CAN L, Pin 2 = VPW+, PWM+, Pin 10 = PWM-, Pin 7 = K_LINE and Pin 15 = L_LINE. Overload protection protects any connected diagnostic equipment from damage.

• TESTS THE ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTOC PORT - For any faults before connecting other diagnostic devices to the DLC.
• UNIQUE DESIGN – The breakout box can be connected in series with 16-pin OBDII/EOBDII diagnostic equipment.
• CONNECTS TO MULTIMETERS AND OSCILLOSCOPES – To enable further testing.
