Sort of a follow-on to my other post about pulling DTC trouble codes -> http://www.1000rr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=58345
Looking at Chapter 6 (Fuel System PGM-FI), it appears the ECM on the 08 CBR1K has been enhanced, as compared to prior years. Specifically, with respect to the ability to obtain diagnostic trouble codes, via the DLC connector. The manual calls out a special tool, the "HDS pocket tester" (part number TDS3557-0112-01), which can be plugged into the DLC connector, to display current & stored DTC codes.
Although not explicitly stated, it "appears" as though real-time telemetry data may also be available via the DLC connector (ie. Intake air temp, Coolant temp, Vehicle speed, RPM's, etc.). Anyone know if this is the case? I'm just curious... Is this "HDS pocket tester" the same tool developed by Teradyne Diagnostic Solutions, for Honda, for use on Honda & Acura automobiles? Or maybe a special variant for Honda motorcycles? The "TDS" prefix, on the part number, sort of suggests that might be the case. Doesn't really matter, I guess. I don't have the access, nor the budget, to acquire this tool. As I said, just curious.
I guess what I'm really after is - are the specs for this DLC interface documented somewhere? I don't see them anywhere in the service manual. What are the electrical characteristics of the I/O signals? What is the communications protocol (ie. CAN, ISO, etc)? Or is this stuff all completely proprietary, and thus, not available to us mere mortals?
So, where am I going with this line of questioning?????
One of my other hobbies is puttering around with microcontrollers. Last year, I designed a Gear Indicator for my RC51. You can read about it here -> http://www.speedzilla.com/forums/rc...discussion/43866-my-home-built-rc51-gear-position-indicator-includes-plans.html
I would like to do the same for my new 08 CBR1K. And I could probably use the same overall design. But the possibility of telemetry data being available, at the DLC connector, sounds like an interesting new technical challenge for me. It would certainly simplify the design, reduce cost, and possibly even make it more plug&play.
