Understanding the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD2) system in your vehicle is crucial for effective troubleshooting and maintenance. A key component of this system is the OBD2 port, which allows communication between diagnostic tools and your car’s computer. Navigating the wiring within this port can seem complex, but a Color Obd2 Wiring Diagram simplifies the process, providing a clear map of each pin’s function and corresponding wire color.
For those working on a 2006 basic 118″ cargo van, the following color OBD2 wiring diagram details the pin assignments on the 16-pin Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC):
- Pin 1: SKREEM (White/Dark Green wire)
- Pin 2: Empty socket (No connection)
- Pin 3: Engine RPM Signal from ECM Socket 18 (Dark Green/Yellow wire)
- Pin 4: Ground (Brown wire)
- Pin 5: Ground (Brown wire)
- Pin 6: Empty socket (No connection)
