  • Vehicle data is limited
  • BA does not include doors, locks, and light data

Introduction

The Upfitter Interface Module® provides access to a broad range of vehicle data such as MPH, RPM, Park Brake, Service Brake, temperatures, transmission range, accelerator pedal, doors, lights, door locks, ABS, MIL, etc. Specific data is vehicle-dependent, and by running the UIM Programming Utility software (free download from www.intermotive.net), available information on a particular chassis can easily be determined. An upfitter harness provides eight programmable outputs, using the UIM Programming Utility. The Programmer allows logical combinations (AND, OR, =, >, <) of various vehicle data to control an output. For example, one output can be programmed to go active when ECT>230 OR TFT>250 AND RPM>300 (any numeric values can be used). This could drive a high-temperature dash indicator. Another output could be programmed to drive a warning buzzer/lamp when the vehicle speed exceeds some limit, such as 70mph. Electric doors can be disabled unless certain safety conditions are met and so on. A clutch pump may be disabled if RPM rises too high. There are also two general purpose inputs that can be used as part of the programmable logic. A LIN communication feature is available on equipped modules marked “UIMLxxx-B”.

Pin Mode Settings — UIM Application Software
The outputs can be set for various modes, as described below. Momentary mode is the most commonly used, where an output is ‘active’ only when the proper conditions have been met.
Momentary: Output follows the condition set but with a turn-on delay, and a turn-off delay. Setting ‘On Delay’ and ‘Off Delay’ to zero causes the output pin to simply “follow” the condition set being true (ON) and false (OFF).

INTERMOTIVE-A-UIM301-B-Upfitter-Interface-Module-FIG-3

Latching: This mode will latch an output pin ON, starting ‘On Delay’ seconds after the conditions are met, and will keep it ON even after the conditions are no longer true. It will then latch the output OFF, following ‘Off Delay’ seconds after the conditions are met again. Think of it as toggle on—toggle off. The simplest use would be when using a momentary button as the only input condition and setting the Delays to zero. Thus a load could be turned on by pushing a momentary button and turned back off by pushing the button a second time.

INTERMOTIVE-A-UIM301-B-Upfitter-Interface-Module-FIG-4

Time Hold: The output pin goes ON after the conditions become true, and stays ON for the selected ‘On Time’, regardless of the conditions. Time is Not Applicable.

INTERMOTIVE-A-UIM301-B-Upfitter-Interface-Module-FIG-5

Time Delay: Output is turned ON after the selected ‘delay’ time after the conditions are met. It stays on for selected ‘On time’, regardless of input conditions.

INTERMOTIVE-A-UIM301-B-Upfitter-Interface-Module-FIG-6

Flashing—Momentary: Used for creating a flashing output. When conditions are met, output flashes. When conditions are no longer met, flashing stops. Flashing ON and OFF times (duty cycle) are controlled by entering the following values.

INTERMOTIVE-A-UIM301-B-Upfitter-Interface-Module-FIG-7

Flashing – Latching: Same as above, except flashing will continue after conditions are no longer true, and will stop when conditions become true again—toggle ON, toggle OFF. Duty cycle is controlled by the ON and OFF times.

12-Pin UIM Connector Pin-Out Definition
This connector contains the UIM’s 8 output pins. Each output is rated at 1/2A and is intended to drive relay coils or other low current loads. Note that Pin 1 of the eight outputs is active high (12V) while the rest are active low (ground). Note: when driving relays, a diode-protected type must be used. InterMotive recommends DigiKey #PB682-ND Relay.

The 8 outputs are defined as follows:

  • Pin #1 (Purple wire) Configurable Output, Active High*
  • Pin #2 (Green wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #3 (White wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #4 (Gray wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pins #5-6 are no-connects
  • Pin #7 (Red wire) fixed jumper to pin 12
  • Pin #8 (Brown wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #9 (Orange wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #10 (Blue wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #11 (Yellow wire) Configurable Output, Active Low
  • Pin #12 (Red wire) fixed jumper to pin 7

Connect the desired outputs to vehicle equipment as needed. Tape up unused leads. When connecting to relays, use relays with appropriate kick-back suppression, such as Digikey #PB682-ND. Unsuppressed relays will induce very high voltage spikes throughout modern vehicles sensitive computer electronics and should not be used, per Ford, GM, SAE, etc.
The default configuration for the 8 outputs are as follows:

  • Pin #1 (Purple wire) Trans Range=Reverse
  • Pin #2 (Green wire) Vehicle Speed >65
  • Pin #3 (White wire) Engine Coolant Temp>230
  • Pin #4 (Gray wire) Service Brake = Applied
  • Pin #8 (Brown wire) Engine Running = True
  • Pin #9 (Orange wire) VSS — 2.2Hz/MPH
  • Pin #10 (Blue wire) Trans Range = Park
  • Pin #11 (Yellow wire) Clean Tach Out, 0-12V pulsed

CTO = ((RPM/2)*#Cyl) = pulses per minute. E.G. 600rpm = 2400 (8 cylinders)

4-Pin Input Connector Definition
This 4 pin connector contains the UIM’s 2 discrete wire inputs. These are both active low inputs which means external devices must pull these inputs to ground. These inputs have their own internal pull up resistors so they can be left floating when not used or not active. These inputs can be used as part of the programmable logic to configure the output pins.

  • Pin #1 – (Blue/White stripe) Input 1, Active low
  • Pin #2 – Not Used
  • Pin #3 – (Green/White stripe) Input 2, Active low
  • Pin #4 – Not Used

Connect inputs as needed. Tape up unused input wires.

LIN Feature (if equipped)

  • Revision 2.1 LIN is a low cost serial communications method used extensively in the automotive industry. UIM modules equipped with the LIN feature will be marked “UIMLxxx-B”. This option will allow 3rd party equipment to request vehicle data from the UIM over the LIN communications interface using the provided LIN cable. Example: A police, fire or ambulance lights/siren system could automatically turn on the emergency lights if it sees the vehicle acceleration rate over some threshold (emergency mode). UIM LIN can also be used to provide real-time vehicle data to 3rd party Telematics devices transmitting to a command center.
  • To request an Intermotive UIM LIN Protocol description sheet please contact your UIM supplier.

Reconnect the vehicle battery

Initial Installation Power-Up
When the UIM module is first plugged in, it attempts to acquire the vehicles VIN to interpret vehicle data on the OBD network. The key must be in the Run position for network traffic to be present (engine off is OK).

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the Run position.
  2. Plug the 6 pin Data Link connector into the module
  • If the module LEDs “scroll” , then it has NOT acquired a recognized VIN. The chassis may be a new Model Year which the module does not recognize, or the chassis has an unrecognized engine. Ensure your chassis is listed at the top of page one of these instructions. Contact Intermotive Tech Support for assistance.
  • If no LEDs come on when the module is plugged in and powered up, it is working properly. Proceed to post installation testing.

UIM Module Mounting
Ensure all the harnesses are properly connected and routed, and are not hanging below the dash area. Mount the UIM module using screws or double sided tape. Reinstall the lower dash panel.

UIM Post Installation Testing

  1. Turn the ignition ON to wake up and initialize the UIM module.
  2. With the conditions met, ensure that all desired outputs are responding correctly per their programmed condition set (e.g., default condition of output 5 goes low when engine is running).
    The UIM is properly installed only if it passes the above tests. If any irregular operational issues persist, recheck the condition set configuration. Contact InterMotive at 530-823-1048 for technical assistance.

Diagnostics
To enter diagnostic mode, momentarily press the Red “Test” button on the module with the ignition on. There are six ‘pages’ of diagnostic data. Each time the Red “Test” button is momentarily pressed the module will advance to the next ‘page’. The Status LED will flash the page number (e.g. the Status LED will flash 5 times when in ‘page’ 5).
The on-board LED’s will light when a corresponding load is active:

  • LED1 = Output #1
  • LED2 = Output #2
  • LED3 = Output #3
  • LED4 = Output #4
  • LED5 = Output #5
  • LED6 = Output #6
  • LED7 = Output #7
  • LED8 = Output #8
  • LED9 = Input #1
  • LED10 = Input #2

The on-board LED’s will light when corresponding vehicle data is detected:

  • LED1 = Transmission
  • LED2 = RPM
  • LED3 = VSS (vehicle speed sensor)
  • LED4 = Park Brake
  • LED5 = Service Brake
  • LED6 = APP (accelerator pedal position)
  • LED7 = Key Position
  • LED8 = TFT (transmission fluid temperature)
  • LED9 = ECT (engine coolant temperature)
  • LED10 = AAT (ambient air temperature)

The on-board LED’s will light when corresponding vehicle data is detected:

  • LED1 = FL (fuel level)
  • LED2 = MIL (malfunction indicator lamp)
  • LED3 = ABS
  • LED4 = AC
  • LED5 = Rear Door
  • LED6 = Driver Front Door
  • LED7 = Passenger Front Door
  • LED8 = Driver Rear Door
  • LED9 = Passenger Rear Door
  • LED10 = Turn Signal

The on-board LED’s will light when corresponding vehicle data is detected:

  • LED1 = ParkLamp
  • LED2 = LowBeam
  • LED3 = HiBeam
  • LED4 = DRL
  • LED5 = All Lock
  • LED6 = All Unlock
  • LED7 = Driver Door Unlock
  • LED8 = Driver Seat
  • LED9 = Passenger Seat
  • LED10 = Driver Belt

The on-board LED’s will light when corresponding vehicle data is detected:

  • LED1 = Passenger Belt
  • LED2 = EOP (engine oil pressure)
  • LED3 = Mute
  • LED4 = Hazard
  • LED5 = Light
  • LED6 = Brake Torque
  • LED7 = Engine Torque
  • LED8 = Odometer
  • LED9 = Not Used
  • LED10 = VIN PnR Active

Output Trouble Codes
If there is an issue with one of the UIM outputs, the status LED will flash a two digit code while in diagnostic mode, page 6. A 1-1 code means everything is working properly. The first digit flashed will correspond to the output number and the second digit will indicate the specific problem. The second digit can be:

  • 2 – Output fault (overcurrent or overvoltage)
  • 3 – Invalid data (The data associated with the output is invalid)
  • 4 – Data timed out (The data associated with the output has timed out)
  • 5 – Unsupported data (The data associated with the output is not supported on the current vehicle)

Scrolling LED’s may indicate one of the following errors

  • LED’s scrolling sequentially one at a time indicates that an invalid or incomplete VIN was captured.
  • LED’s scrolling from the middle outward indicates a configuration error. This can be the result of configuring the UIM for one chassis, but installing it in a different chassis.

UIM Operation
Turning the vehicle ignition ON will wake up and initialize the UIM module. Outputs are controlled based on the module’s configuration created using the Intermotive UIM Programming Utility program.
When the key is turned OFF, the UIM module will go into a low power sleep mode and it’s outputs will shut off. This may take up to five minutes, and the Diagnostic LED’s (if active) on the module will go out once in sleep mode. Other vehicle activity such as opening doors, inserting key in the ignition, etc. may delay sleep mode.
