    Wiring of the OBD2 connector?

    Anyone know the way to hook one of these up? This is what I've found on it so far but I just wanted a second opinion before I do it.

    PIN 2(PURPLE, some diagrams stated it's GREEN) data from pin 58 serial data.
    PIN 4 (LT BLUE/BLACK)ground
    PIN 5 (DARK BLUE)ground
    PIN 16 ORANGE/BLACK)power at all times.


    It just didn't sound right to me, it seems like there should be more than one wire going to the pcm and why would there be two that go to ground?

    Oops. Missed some words

    Orange is power. Black and/or black and white is ground. Some have both.

    Thanks George.

    Your OEM ALDL has no black or black/white wires?

    That's weird.

    Duh! No it's not. You have an OBDI '91. Did your swap harness come with an ALDL?

    There is only one wire needed to the data bus. On an older truck, there is no other Class2 devices besides the PCM so it only needs to go to the PCM. Many components have redundant grounds. It needs power and ground for the scanner.
