What is Included: Recommended Tools & Supplies:
- CAN Bridge module Wire strippers
- OBDII interface cable Wire crimpers
- Power cable Wire coverings for neatly organizing or bundling wires.
- Gauge interface cables Zip Ties for neatly bundling wires and/or mounting the module. Wire diagram of your vehicle
- Spade terminal splitters 3A & 5A fuse & fuse holders Soldering iron, solder & various sizes of heat shrink tubing Digital volt/ohm meter
Introduction
The CAN Bridge is designed to worked with OEM OBDII.
It can provide instrument signals for the AMP V2 InVision displays and/or AMP
traditional Air Core gauges (does not support stepper motor driven gauges).
It works with the government required ODBII PIDs of speed, RPM, Water
Temperature, and Fuel level. If supported by your vehicle Oil Pressure and Oil
Temperature are also available. The update rate of these PIDs are designated
by the manufacture and vary from year to year and model to model.
The InVision dash, and of course the traditional gauges, can still be hard
wired to their own sensors if need be.
Wiring
Wiring will require some basic automotive electrical knowledge, and in some
cases a vehicle specific wiring diagram, or the ability to test circuits to
verify proper hook ups. You will need to be able to test various circuits at
this time.:
Power Harness
4-Pin connector: Plug this connector into port J1
Red 12v, key on power. Connect to the factory gauges’ power only if it is 12v.
This power should turn on and off with the ignition switch. If there is no
factory wire to use, you might find an ignition power from the fuse box, or
from the ignition switch. This should be protected with a standard automotive
5A inline fuse.
Pink: Battery power, for memory retention. You should connect this to any
constant-on, battery power such as at the factory fuse box, the ignition
switch, or directly to the battery. Check for power at these locations by
leaving the key switched off, and using your test light to locate power that
is still on. This should be protected with a standard automotive 3A inline
fuse.
Black System ground. We recommend you choose a new ground location for these
wires, preferably at the engine. You can ground
to the rear of one of the cylinder heads, or on the intake manifold to one of
the unused accessory bolt holes. We do NOT recommend using existing, factory
cluster ground as this is going to be a much older circuit, which may no
longer be a very clean ground.
Gauge Interface Harness
3-Pin connector: Plug this connector into one of the ports; J5-J10.
Red 12v Reference. This wire is only used for a tach or a speedo and does not
provide power. It must be connected to 12v source that is fed to the gauge and
the spade terminal splitter is provided. This can be coiled up or snipped off
for the other gauges.
Green: Signal wire. Connect to the signal terminal on the gauge
Black: Gauge Ground. Connect to the ground terminal on the gauge.
OBDII Interface Harness
4-Pin connector: Plug this connector into port J2
ODBII Connector: Plug this connector into the vehicle’s OBDII port. This port
is typically located under the driver’s side dash. If you want to have use of
the OBDII port for diagnostics without the hassle of unplugging the CAN Bridge
AutoMeter’s 5323 OBDII signal splitter can be used.
InVision Interface Harness
6-Pin connector: This connector is part of the InVision V2 harness, plug
this connector into port J3
Setting up the module
Entering configuration mode: With the Can Bridge connected to power, press and
hold the “MODE” button for until the blue LED lights up (approximately 6
seconds)
.Setting the channels: Channel 1 is port J5, Channel 2 is port J6… The factory
defaults are the following:
- Channel 1 is Tachometer
- Channel 2 is Speedometer
- Channel 3 is Water temperature with a set range of 100-250°F or 40-120°C
- Channel 4 is Oil Temperature with a set range of 100-250°F or 40-120°C
- Channel 5 is Oil Pressure with a set range of 0-100 PSI or 0-7 Bars Channel 6 is Fuel Level with a default output for 0-90 ohms
These can be moved from one port to another to your liking by clicking “ENTER”
on the Channel you want to change then selecting and clicking “ENTER” on value
you want that channel to be. You can click “EXIT” to get to the previous menu.
CAN: CAN1 (OBDII) is defaulted at 500 kbps and this setting works with most
domestic vehicles. CAN2 is to the InVision dash must remain at 500 kbps.
LCD Cluster: By default, Speed, RPM, Engine temperature, fuel level, and oil
pressure set to “CAN” meaning that an InVision dash will take these signals
from the CAN Bridge. If you want to hardwire a signal to the InVision click
“ENTER” on the signal, select HARDWIRE and click “ENTER”. You can click “EXIT”
to get to the previous menu.
Fuel Meter Select: The CAN bridge can output to the six most common fuel level
olm ranges. Select the olm range that corresponds to the gauge you have and
click “ENTER”. The following are available:
- 0-90 olm (factory default) 73-10NL olm (non-linear) 240-33 olm
- 0-30 olm
- 16-158 olm
- 73-10L olm (linear)
Utilities: The brightness of the menu can be changed from 10-100%
About: Under Version you can find the firmware information. Update is
factory use only.
Leaving configuration mode: Press and hold the “MODE” button for until
the blue LED turns off (approximately 6 seconds).
Notes: The odometer on both traditional Auto Meter Speedometer and the
InVision are driven by speed signal and not from the OBDII
When using the CAN Bridge with traditional gauges keep it in mind that it will
only work with short sweep Air Core type gauges. Full sweep stepper motor
driven gauges will not function.
Menu screen will automatically go to sleep after 20 seconds of inactivity, hit
any button to wake it up.
