Portable Device Engine Data

This document is intended for “Portable” kits that move from vehicle to vehicle frequently, requiring

connection outside the dash. Devices that remain in the same vehicle for any length should be connected

using the standard connections documented on the PeopleNet Support Center.

Different vehicle manufacturers have offered different engine data output connectors over the years, making

the creation of a “universal” portable connection impossible.

The G3 OBC required an external MultiBus Adapter, which acted as a jumper and allowed the G3 to sit farther

from the vehicle connector. PeopleNet Mobile Gateway (PMG) includes an internal MBA, making the standard

cable shorter. As such, a 120” extension cable is recommended for PMGs, allowing the cable to route from

the passenger’s seat to the diagnostic port safely.

The below recommendations show PeopleNet’s currently available options for the most common vehicles.

Check the PeopleNet Support Center for vehicles not mentioned here.

WARNINGS

Always route cables so that they will not interfere with safe vehicle operation or interfere with the

driver’s ability to enter and exit the vehicle safely.

The L-016-0614 adaptor includes three different connectors for different vehicles. It is absolutely

critical that the correct connector is used. Failure to do so could cause vehicle issues.

All 9-Pin Vehicles - PMG

Follow the guide below for all vehicles with round 9-pin diagnostic ports, green or black. This will include

Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, International, and Volvo/Macks with Cummins engines.

Always verify that the correct connector on L-016-0614 is used. Failure to do so could cause vehicle errors.

Hino – PMG

Hino model years 2011 and 2012 use an OBD-type connector, mating to PeopleNet cable L-016-0534.

The only engine data access in 2013-and-newer Hinos is inside the dash near the fuse panels, mating to L-

016-0593. Refer to the PeopleNet Support Center for more information on connection location.

9-Pin Vehicles – G3 OBC

Follow the guide below for all vehicles with round 9-pin diagnostic ports. This will include Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner,

International, and Volvo/Macks with Cummins engines.

NOTE: The L-016-0511 option on the following page is recommended for pre-2010 vehicles, as it includes J1708 data. Some

Model Years require J1708 for Fuel and other data.

Always verify that the correct connector on L-016-0614 is used. Failure to do so could cause vehicle errors.

G3 OBC with L-016-0511

The L-016-0511 9-Pin solution is recommended for older vehicles, as it includes support for the J1708 engine data bus. This

was the original engine data circuit, phased out in the late 2000s across most vehicles. Some data, including Fuel, may not

be available without that circuit on older vehicles.

optional L-016-0533.

Hino model years 2011 and 2012 use an OBD-type connector, mating to PeopleNet cable L-016-0534.
