ABSTRACT:
An interface circuit for providing signals necessary to monitor one or more on-board vehicle computers through a serial communication link between an off-board controller and the on-board vehicle computer. The interface circuit is provided on the vehicle in order to provide the command signals to the off-board controller which will enable a standard monitoring device to read key information from the on-board vehicle computer. Additionally, the interface circuit also provides support of a second mode of operation that conforms to a proprietary communications protocol. The interface circuit automatically recognizes and adapts to the proper communication protocol for the tool sensed. The interface circuit complies with both a proprietary communication protocol and with an ISO 1941 format which satisfies an OBDII/CARB specification which all automobiles sold in the United States must comply with by the 1996 model year.
