Communications with the BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) 500kbps CAN bus

Connector X1 on the BECM K16

  • 1 - Black - Ground
  • 2 - Red - 12V
  • 3 - White/Black - CAN_Low
  • 4 - Light Blue - CAN_High
  • 9 - Black - Ground
  • 14 - Brown/Red - 12V
  • 15 - Orange/Yellow - 12V
  • 16 - Light Green/Light Blue - 12V

This pin arrangement sets the Accessory Wake-Up Serial and Communication Enable lines high, and causes the same data you would see on the cars can bus to be spit out onto CAN lines 3 and 4.

Communications with the module slave boards

via the 125kbps Internal Network CAN bus

Connector X2 on the BECM K16 (see volt-pack-hookup.jpg) Pin numbering marked on the connector shell

  • 9 = 5V
  • 10 = Ground
  • 11 = CAN_Low
  • 12 = CAN_High
