Installation - OBD-II

The OBD-II or JBus device plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic port; the cable attached receives the digital input (ON/OFF) and transmits it to the device that reports to Fleet Pro. The OBD-II device can be installed with Port Exposed or Port Occupied.

Port Exposed

Locate the vehicle’s diagnostic port. It can typically be found below the steering wheel. Follow the below steps to install the OBD-II:

Port with Panel

  1. Turn off the vehicle or the unit on which the installation is performed.

  2. Plug the GPS device into the diagnostic port directly if the port is exposed.

  3. If the port is covered by a panel or door, use the extension cable to install the OBD device.

    Note: Make sure the OBD device is not protruding from the panel.

  4. LED lights on the GPS device should start flashing.

  5. Make sure the green LED light flashes for five seconds. This indicates the device is ready to use.

  6. If the red LED blinks, the installation failed. Remove the GPS device and repeat steps 1–5.

Port Occupied

If the diagnostic port is already occupied with another device, use the Y-cable to install the GPS device:

  1. Remove the other device from the diagnostic port.

  2. Plug in the female end of the Y-cable into the port.

  3. Connect the GPS device to one end of the Y-cable.

  4. Connect the removed device from step 1 to the other end of the Y-cable to complete the installation.

  5. Make sure the green LED lights on the GPS device flash for five seconds. This indicates the device is ready to use.

  6. If the red LED blinks, the installation failed. Remove the device and repeat steps 1–5.
