OBD Plug Question

[Mexicano]

Hello,

I got me a CLIP to halp troubble shoot problems on my K4M engine, I was going to "test" the device then I pull the plug "protector" to connect the cable and this small "bridge" poped up, seems like it was connected between some of the pins but now I don't know where it goes...I started the engine and everything seems normal wthout it but need to know what it is and where it goes, I will appreciate your input. Thanks!

It goes somewhere like this but can't tell WHERE!!!

I think it's to do with the loop on the multiplex network, it does no harm leaving it out

It goes into the plastic cover that covers the plug.

Like said above, it's used to loop the multiplex network

Thanks Guys...so It doesn't matter if I dont install it anymore?

 

[Sean6545]

It doesn't but I would put it in if you have it.

The CAN network will function without it as posted above but it really needs balancing other wise it can cause generic "multiplex network" faults. Thats the role of that jumper.

Is there not a little moulded lump on the inside of the cover that the metal bit fits over. Should give you some idea where it should sit.

The "problem" is that if I try to put it again on the plastic cover, there are two ways it can go, which one is the good one?.....is there some info on manuals that shows from "Pin #1" to "Pin # 4"?

 

[Sean6545]

Pretty sure can high and can low are pins 6 and 14

 

[MicKPM]

I'll look it up tomorrow if you want/haven't figured it out by then

Thanks to all guys!....I guess I got It, had to cut the cap from the plastic bands so I could pull it out from there and look it closer, then I insert the "bridge" again it only has one position, seems like it was hold in place with some sort of plastic pin that I may brake when I pull the cover out, I glued it and It's done.
