Volvo/Mack J1587/J1708 and J1939 250 Kbs
Volvo trucks 2014 or newer with Volvo engines and Mack
trucks 2014 or newer with Mack engines will use a diagnostic
connector that resembles a standard automotive OBDII
connector. This connector still contains the J1939/J1708
and does not use the OBDII protocol.
No separate ignition connection is necessary. The ignition
connection is part of the cable as it is available on the
connector for these trucks
Hino
For early 2011 Hino trucks, Power, Ground, Ignition, and J1939
are needed from the truck’s wiring in the dash and will require
butt splicing.
For late model 2011 and 2012 or newer Hino trucks, you can
connect directly to the Hino Telematics connector.
The blue connector is for Japanese manufactured trucks and
the white connector is for US manufactured trucks.
No separate ignition connection is necessary. The ignition
connection is part of the cable as it is available on the
connector for these trucks.
