VAG KKL cable connections

Hi just joined the forum and want to say hello.

I am a little confused as to the connections described in the "how to use" section and why cant pin 3 be permanently connected to pins 1 7 & 9.

The instuctions say that pin 7 is connected to pin 1 for airbag ECU and further on states that it is pin 3 which is correct

Can someone give a diagram or proper list of connections please . I am certain that other users would welcome this info


Thanks in anticpation

Hi,

The proper connections are:
pin 1 - ABS
pin 3 - Airbag
pin 7 - Engine/Gearbox
pin 9 - EPS

Here is what I can suggest for the cable:
1.Get a stock VagCom cable.
2.Then cut the connection between k-line and pin 7.
3.Then solder a microswitch to switch either k-3 or k-1-7-9. Where k is the k-line from the circuit board and 1,3,7,9 are the pins on the OBD connector.

Thanks for reporting that HowToUse mistake. It was just a typo.

Good idea. I want to install switch on my cable as well, but I'm thinking 4-position switch will be better.

Check attachment.

I pinned PIN 1-7-9 to a 4-position switch and then to the cutted k-line.

PIN 3 is not connected at the moment but would be possible.

Hi Hgbutte , I have just seen the cable with 4 pos dil switch and it looks very professional .

I get what you have done, but in the cable assembly that I got from Ebay which looks like the blue one of yours , however when the covers are removed the connection to pin 7 on the 16pin OBD connector is obscured with a small 6 pin single in line connector on to the main board and goes to 3 pins on the main circuit board.

It would be great if you could show the internal wiring of your kit and where the K line connection to pin 7 OBD is actually cut.

I am sure lots of users on the forum would be very gratefu, especially me.

Thanks and hope you can clarify the details

Hello,

In mine cable I have pin 1, 3, 7 & 9 all connected and working OK.

Why use a switch? Give it a try, maybe it also work for you.
