Abstract
This invention relates generally to releasable connectors with a wireless connection between automotive test equipment and an automobile On-Board Diagnostic computer wherein the data link connection (DLC) cable is replaced, using two connectors which have been pre-programmed to communicate with each other.
Claims19
A wireless automotive data link connector for communicating information between a motor vehicle data bus and an automotive code reader/scanner comprising:
- a first OBD2 connector housing readout conductors, a processor and memory that mates releasably to the vehicle data bus connector, the vehicle data bus connector with a plurality of readout conductors which communicate with corresponding readout conductors in the first connector unit;
- a program in the first connector unit which links wireless information with the appropriate readout conductors:
- a second connector unit housing readout conductors, a processor and memory that mates releasably to the automotive code reader/scanner with a plurality of readout conductors which communicate with corresponding readout conductors in the second connector unit;
- a program in the second connector unit which links wireless information with the appropriate readout conductor;
- and
- wireless connections in the first and second connector units programmed to directly connected between the first connector unit and the second connector unit.
