How to connect the Hondash scanner to a 5-pin diagnostic connector

You can connect the Hondash scanner to a 5-pin diagnostic connector using 3 separate wires.

To make a set of 3 wires you need following:
  • automotive terminals:
    • 3x male terminal (DJ611-2.2A) for connector side
    • 3x female terminal (DJ621-2.2A) for scanner side
    (You can source the terminals on Aliexpress or our e-shop)
  • 3x wire
  • electrical tape or heat shrink tubes for wrapping the assembled terminals and preventing electric shorts
  • pliers for crimping the wires

A set of assembled wires and connection routes

Please keep in mind the 5-pin connector must contain a communication wire, otherwise it will not work!
