Bench setup

[Optimal_Collar52]

Anyone's got a diagram for a bench setup on a 2016 CX-5? I'm using a GoDiag V200.I'm trying to figure out the correct pin connections for power, ground, and data. Video tutorials will be good too! appreciate the help!

For a 2016 CX-5 bench setup with a GoDiag V200, finding exact pinouts is tough as manufacturers don't typically release them for public tuning. You'll need to locate constant 12V, ground, and the CAN-H/CAN-L data lines on the ECU connector. These are usually identified by voltage and twisted pairs for CAN. Specialized tuning tools often come with these diagrams. Without a specific diagram, carefully probing with a multimeter and oscilloscope is your best bet, but proceed with extreme caution to avoid ECU damage.

Super helpful. thanks! When probing with a multimeter, is there a best practice to avoid shorting anything?

It's definitely important to avoid shorting anything when you're probing! First off, before you touch anything, disconnect the negative battery terminal. This is non-negotiable and the absolute best way to de-energize the system and prevent shorts. I'd also highly recommend grabbing some needle-point probes or a back-pinning kit if you don't have them. They're much safer than the standard sharp probes because they're designed to slide into the back of the connector without touching other pins. And don't rush i! Take your time with each pin. A good practice is to connect your multimeter's negative lead to a known ground on the chassis, then use the positive lead to carefully probe for the 12V pins. This minimizes the risk since you're only working with one probe.
