Navigating the complexities of modern truck diagnostics often requires specialized tools and adapters. For Hino 500 series trucks, understanding the Connector Obd2 Hino 500 interface and its adaptation to industry-standard protocols like J1939 is crucial for effective vehicle maintenance and diagnostics. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Hino OBD2 to J1939 adapters, ensuring you have the right connection for your diagnostic needs.
The Hino 500 series, like many modern commercial vehicles, utilizes an OBD2 style connector for diagnostic access. However, the communication protocol might not always directly align with standard OBD2 protocols used in passenger vehicles. Often, heavy-duty trucks like the Hino 500 operate on the J1939 network, a standard for communication and diagnostics in heavy-duty vehicles. This is where the connector OBD2 Hino 500 adapter becomes indispensable.
To bridge this gap, specialized adapters are designed to convert the Hino’s OBD2 style connector to the more common J1939 9-pin connector, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of diagnostic tools and equipment. It’s important to note that there are variations in these adapters depending on the model year of your Hino 500 truck. Specifically, distinctions exist between older and newer Hino truck models.
Identifying the Correct Connector OBD2 Hino 500 Adapter for Your Truck
To ensure compatibility, it’s essential to determine whether you need the adapter for older or newer Hino 500 trucks. While the physical connector might appear similar, the internal wiring and signal mapping can differ. Generally, Hino trucks manufactured around 2014 and newer utilize a different wiring configuration compared to older models.
We offer two distinct connector OBD2 Hino 500 adapters to cater to these variations:
Hino Truck Old Style (OBD2 Style Male) to J1939 (Male) Adapter
- Part No: hino1939
- Weight: 0.24 lbs
- Price: $42.50 ea
This adapter is designed for older Hino 500 series trucks. It effectively translates the signals from the Hino’s OBD2 style port to the J1939 protocol, making it compatible with J1939 diagnostic tools and scanners.
Hino Truck New Style (OBD2 Style Male) to J1939 (Male) Adapter
- Part No: hino1939New
- Weight: 0.24 lbs
- Price: $42.50 ea
This version is specifically engineered for newer Hino 500 trucks (approximately 2014 onwards). It accommodates the updated wiring configuration in these models, ensuring a reliable connection to J1939 diagnostic equipment.
Both adapters facilitate the connection of a J1939 tester, which typically uses a standard 9-pin connector, to your Hino 500 truck’s OBD2 style diagnostic port.
Wiring Connections for Connector OBD2 Hino 500 Adapters
Understanding the wiring connections is crucial, especially if you are unsure which adapter is appropriate for your Hino 500. The table below details the wiring configurations for both old and new style connector OBD2 Hino 500 adapters:
| 16-pin | Old Signal | Old J1939 | New Signal | New J1939 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24V Battery | B | 24V Battery | B |
| 2 | ISO-L Line | – | J1939+ | C |
| 3 | J1939- | D | J1939- | D |
| 6 | Autolevel Rx | – | – | – |
| 7 | – | – | ISO-K Line | – |
| 9 | Autolevel Init | – | – | – |
| 10 | ISO-K Line | – | – | – |
| 11 | J1939+ | C | – | – |
| 12 | Signal Ground | A | – | – |
| 13 | Chassis Ground | – | – | – |
| 14 | Autolevel Tx | – | – | – |
| 15 | – | – | Ground | – |
| 16 | – | – | Ground | A |
This table illustrates how the pins on the 16-pin OBD2 style connector are mapped to the 9-pin J1939 connector for both old and new Hino truck configurations. Carefully reviewing this wiring diagram can help in verifying compatibility or troubleshooting connections.
