FCC Part 15 Class B Registration Warning This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Introduction This manual provides instructions and information necessary to install the OBD version of the DriveRight 600E device. The DriveRight OBD plugs into your vehicle’s OBDII (On-Board Diagnostics II) port for a quick and easy installation. Note: DriveRight OBD only functions in vehicles equipped with a compatible OBDII port. See “Appendix 1: OBDII Compatibility” on page 10 for a list of supported OBDII protocols and vehicles.
Cables OBD Cable DriveRight Adapter Cable Wiring Components Red +12V Wire with Fuseholder (22 AWG) Blue Wire (2) with Fuseholder (22 AWG) Black Ground Wire (22AWG) Spade Terminal Sets: #8-10 Studs (3.5 - 5 mm) 1/4" Studs (6 mm) Fuses (4) (3AG 1-1/4 x 1/4", .
Installations using Adapter Cable Digital Inputs If you are using the adapter cable digital inputs in your installation, the following additional tools and other items may also be required: • Crimping Tool • Multimeter • Fuse Tap - Required to obtain +12 V from the fuse panel. Planning the Installation Installation of theDriveRight OBD is simple.
Wiring Diagram The diagram below is an example of DriveRight OBD wiring. DriveRight Device Adapter Cable (DriveRight 600 or 600E) Butt Splices Green (4) Blue Wires with In-Line Fuses Digital Inputs 1 Yellow 2 Ground Black Red Spade Terminal OBD Cable Connect to OBDII Port Red Wire with Fuseholder In-Line Unswitched Splice +12V Red Procedure 1: Connect OBD Cable to OBDII Port. 1. Locate the OBDII port in the vehicle.
Look in the follow areas if you have trouble finding the OBDII port: • Under the dash • In front of the passenger seat • Behind the ash tray • Behind a small access panel in the dash • In or around the center console 2. Plug the OBD cable into the port. Indicator Light OBDII Port OBD Cable Note: The indicator light blinks three times when first plugged in, then blinks twice per second until the connector establishes communications with the OBDII computer.
1. If you are installing a DriveRight 600E OBD but not using the digital inputs, go to Step 10 of this procedure. 2. Butt splice the red fuse holder to the red wire from the adapter cable. 3. Tap the red fuse holder to an unswitched +12 V source using the inline splice provided with your DriveRight or using a fuse tap connector (not included) appropriate for your vehicle.
7. Use the in-line butt splices to connect the blue wires with fuses to the Green (Digital Input 1) and Yellow (Digital Input 2) wires from the adapter cable. 8. Connect Digital Input 1 to the desired circuit. 9. Connect Digital Input 2 to the desired circuit. 10.Connect the digital input cable to the OBD cable. It is easiest to make the connection by first holding the OBD cable connector by the housing.

Insert the battery into the DriveRight console.
3. Connect the DriveRight console cable to the adapter cable. Sliding Connector Housing OBD or Adapter Cable Console Cable Hold cables as shown to connect. The connector housing on the console cable slides back when you make the connection, allowing the cables to lock together. Note: To disconnect the cables, hold the both cables by the connector housing and pull apart. The sliding housing on the console cable connector will release the lock and allow the cables to be separated.
