Multi-Bus Adapter Overview


Multi-Bus Adapter Overview

The PerformX Multi-Bus Adapter (MBA) is designed to consolidate data from the J1708/1587 bus, the J1939 bus, and the Power Takeoff (PTO) switch. This data is collected and then delivered to the g3 onboard computer (OBC) via the standard PerformX connection. Power for the MBA is delivered from the OBC, so no external power connections are required.

“Bold” references in quotations refer to the Part Descriptions on page 6.

1. Locate the vehicle’s factory 9-pin diagnostic port.

If the port is located in the vehicle’s dash, it will be necessary to remove the port from the dash before proceeding to Step 2. The following sub-steps will vary from vehicle to vehicle:

a. Unseat the factory 9-pin diagnostic port from the dash.

b. Mount the male 9-pin connector of the “Vehicle-to-Repeater Cable” (L-016-0149) to the dash in place of the factory 9-pin diagnostic port.

2. Connect the vehicle’s 9-pin diagnostic port to the female 9-pin connector of the “Vehicle-to-Repeater Cable”, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Vehicle-to-Repeater Cable and 9-pin Diagnostic Port

3. Connect the blue connector on the “Vehicle-to-Repeater Cable” to the blue connector on the “Repeater” (E-006-0216).

4. Secure the “Repeater” with zip ties.

5. Connect the white connector on the “Repeater” to the white connector on the “Repeater-to-VID Cable” (L-016-0150).

6. Plug the gray connector on the “Repeater-to-VID Cable” into the gray receptacle on the “VID” (E-006-0215).

7. Plug the black connector on the “VID-to-OBC Cable” (L-016-0148) into the black receptacle on the “VID”.

8. Secure the “VID” with two screws, if possible; or use zip ties if a suitable mounting surface is not available.

CAUTION: Be careful not to impede movement of the vehicle’s pedals or steering when securing components.

9. Run the “VID-to-OBC Cable” back to the red connector on the OBC’s main cable and connect them together.

10. Wrap this connection with electrical tape to complete this part of the MBA installation.

If you are connecting the MBA directly to the vehicle’s power takeoff (PTO) system, proceed to “Connecting Directly to the PTO System” on page 14.

If not, proceed to “MBA Activation” on page 18.


MBA Installation

2-pin MBA System

“Bold” references in quotations refer to the Part Descriptions on page 7.

The 2-pin MBA system connects to either the J1939 or the J1708 data bus, if one is present, using vehicle-specific adapters and connectors.

1. Locate the appropriate adapter for the vehicle in the “Backbone Connector Kit” (L-016-0153).

Note: The J1939 connectors on the “Vehicle-to-VID Cable” (L-016-0152) cable are designed to plug directly into Freightliner, Volvo and Mack vehicles without adaptors, but the wedge lock for these connectors may need to be changed. See instructions below.

Freightliner, Volvo, Mack J1939 connections

The gray connectors on the end of the “Vehicle-to-VID Cable” have wedge lock keys in them that hold the terminals in place and also make them unique mates to certain trucks. The picture below shows these wedge locks out of the connector.

Figure 4: Wedge Lock Keys

a. To exchange the wedge lock for different vehicles, use a needle-nosed plier to remove the existing wedge locks from both the male and female connectors.


MBA Installation

b. Replace both wedge locks with the desired type.

If you are NOT installing the MBA into a Freightliner, Volvo, or Mack, you will need to select the proper adapters to mate to the vehicle’s connectors. Adapters are labeled by truck type.

2. For vehicles with J1939 connectors, locate the connectors in the vehicle and plug in the “Vehicle to VID Cable” (L-016-0152), using the appropriate adapter from step 1 if needed.

Note: Refer to the vehicle specific supplement documents to help locate the J1939 and J1708 connectors in your vehicle.

Note: Sometimes you will find a male and female connected in the vehicle and you will need to separate them and install the MBA cable between those connections. Other times you will find a single connector with a terminating resistor in that connector.

Terminating resistors – The J1939 standard requires that there be a terminating resistor inserted into the last connector on the J1939 bus. This is designed to keep stray signals from contaminating the high speed data on the bus. If you use a connector with a terminating resistor (in other words if you connect to the last connector on the bus) you will need to take out the terminating resistor to plug in the MBA cable, and put the terminating resistor into the corresponding connector on the MBA cable. In this case one of the MBA connectors becomes the final connector on the J1939 bus. See Pictures below.


MBA Installation

3. For vehicles with J1708 connectors, locate the connectors in the vehicle and plug in the “Vehicle to VID Cable” (L-016-0152), using the appropriate adapter from step 1 if needed.

Note: Many 2010 and newer vehicles will not have J1708 data. Refer to the chart below to determine if your vehicle has J1708 data. All class 8 trucks had J1708 data from 1997 – 2009.

2010 and Newer Trucks J1708 J1939

Freightliner YES YES

Hino NO YES

International (Navistar) YES YES

Kenworth (Paccar) NO YES

Mack With Mack Engine YES YES

Mack With Cummins Engine NO YES

Peterbilt (Paccar) NO YES

Volvo With Volvo Engine YES YES

4. Plug the gray connector on the “Vehicle-to-VID Cable” into the gray receptacle on the “VID” (E-006-0215).

5. Plug the black connector on the “VID-to-OBC Cable” (L-016-0148) into the black receptacle on the “VID”.

6. Secure the “VID” with two screws, if possible; or use zip ties if a suitable mounting surface is not available.

CAUTION: Be careful not to impede movement of the vehicle’s pedals or steering when securing components.

7. Run the “VID-to-OBC Cable” back to the red connector on the OBC’s main cable and connect them together.

8. Wrap this connection with electrical tape to complete this part of the MBA installation.

If you are connecting the MBA directly to the vehicle’s power takeoff (PTO) system, proceed to “Connecting Directly to the PTO System” on page 14.

If not, proceed to “MBA Activation” on page 18.


PTO Procedures

PTO Procedures

The following procedures are necessary only if you are connecting the MBA directly to the vehicle’s power takeoff (PTO) system.

Connecting Directly to the PTO System

Important: The “PTO on” signal must be provided as +12 volts. If the vehicle’s PTO switch is providing a ground when the PTO is engaged, this signal must be converted to +12 volts using a relay. See “Installing a PTO Relay” on page 15.

“Bold” references in quotations refer to the Part Descriptions on pages 6 and 7.

1. Connect the gray pigtail wire on the “Repeater-to-VID Cable” to the vehicle’s PTO signal line.

Note: The PTO signal line often comes from the dash switch or the air switch in the air line to the PTO.

2. Turn on the Discrete PTO feature through your LCD/BLU display:

LCD (Classic Display)

i. Select MENUOBC ADMINISTRATION.

ii. In the PASSWORD field, enter “9238”.

iii. Select PTO DETECTIONDISCRETE I/O.

BLU (Color Display)

i. Select SystemOBC DiagnosticOBC Administration.

ii. In the Password field, enter “9238”.

iii. Select PTO DetectionDiscrete I/O.


PTO Procedures

Installing a PTO Relay

If the vehicle’s PTO switch provides a ground signal when the PTO is engaged, you will need to convert that signal to a +12 volt signal using a relay.

1. Using a standard ISO (automotive) relay, make the connections shown in Figure 5.

CAUTION: Make sure the +12V power source is properly fused.

Figure 5: PTO Relay Connections

2. Test the circuit by putting a test light on the “PTO Output to VID” terminal and engaging the PTO.

You should get power when the PTO is engaged, and no power when the PTO is disengaged.
