CANBUS CB2 Speed and RPM Interface

Please enter the vehicle details above and we will advise the connection points with the order where available when the order is processed.

Many vehicles around today utilise CANBUS (also known as CAN / CAN-BUS / CAN BUS / C-BUS) to transmit the specific data and conditions between devices. This has rendered traditional signal carrying wires obsolete. Navigation units or other devices (telematics, trip recorders, taxi meters, data logging, tracking) need a speed signal to operate, they use this to determine speed and distance to ensure accuracy. This unit also covers CANBUS enabled trucks and buses using the SAE J1939 CAN Protocol.

This CANBUS signal translator is designed to provide a speed and RPM signal (Model CB-2). Simply wire it up and go, no programming required! It is programmed to automatically detect the vehicle type from over 40 different makes covering 350+ models.

Despite the low cost, this CANBUS interface features built-in diagnostic LEDs to indicate CANBUS status and speed pulse output to aid the installation process.

Applications:

• Navigation Systems
• Taximeters
• Cruise Control
• Car Audio
• Fleet Management (FMS)
• Parking Sensors
• Telematics
• Speed Limiters

Installation Guidelines:

The CANBUS uses two wires for data transmission. One is called CAN HIGH and the other is called CAN LOW (sometimes marked as "CAN+" and "CAN-" respectively). The CANBUS connections on the CANBUS interface should be connected to the appropriate CANBUS connections with an insulated solder joint. Do not cut the CANBUS wires.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All connections are for guidance only. Vehicle manufacturers can vary wiring from model to model. It is advisable to check the vehicle wiring diagram prior to installation.

CANBUS Speed Interface Connections

1. Because manufacturers continually change the pin configuration of the plugs, it is advisable to pick up +POS and -NEG for powering the interface from an alternative supply, preferably a good ignition controlled regulated supply. A good earth is absolutely essential.
2. Connecting the CANBUS interface close to the ECU, say 5 to 10 cm away from the plug, will allow room for the connectors. While the power wires can be extended, it is not advisable to extend the CAN HIGH and CAN LOW leads. If there is a need to extend the signal lead (orange), please ensure that it is run to its destination avoiding proximity to equipment that might give off pulses which could be picked up by this wire, such as ignition or heater fans, etc. Common sense tells you that each wire can become an aerial for extraneous signals within a vehicle environment.
3. Note that just because a vehicle has a CANBUS system, it does not necessarily mean that that CANBUS carries speed signal information. Also some vehicles can have more than one CANBUS network and usually only one carries the speed signal information.
4. It is good practice to connect the CAN High and CAN Low wires before powering up the CB2 interface, removing any possibility of shorting. Disconnect the interface prior to carrying out vehicle diagnostic work.

LED Diagnostic Sequence:

The CB-2 features built-in diagnostic LEDs to indicate status during setup:

• Stage 1: Both LEDs light up for approximately 1 second upon power-up.
• Stage 2: Green LED remains on while the unit listens for CANBUS data.
• Stage 3: Red LED turns on indicating CAN data has been detected and vehicle identification is in progress.
• Stage 4: Once the vehicle type is identified, the Red LED stays on and the Green LED pulses when the vehicle is driven.
