CAN Test Box

can test box

 

Continuing with our mission to make vehicle diagnostics easier and faster…the new CAN Test Box gives you easy access to the 16 pins of the diagnostic connector that is fitted to all modern vehicles. Depending on the configuration of the vehicle, this may allow you to check power, ground and CAN Bus signal quality. With the test leads supplied you can connect your PicoScope lab scope to the CAN Test Box to monitor signals such as the CAN High and Low. More.....

Usually the easiest way to capture the signal you require is using a dedicated breakout lead or box.


We offer a range of solutions to assist you. For some of the most common connectors we have our range of Connector Breakout Leads and, for connectors not covered by this range, you can use our 6-Way Universal breakout leads.

We also offer a range of Fuse Extensions for most common fuse types, and for probing the 16-pin diagnostic socket we offer the TA069 CAN Test Box.

Premium 6-way breakout lead set  -  PQ070 (TA324)
(This set is the replacement for the old PP943 which is no longer available)

This kit contains 11 sets of 6 different sized universal breakout leads and a set of 6 back pinning probes. The breakout leads come with 7 different sized flat blade connectors (0.6 mm, 1.2 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.8 mm, 4.8 mm and 6.0 mm), and 4 different round pin sizes (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm).

The individual breakout leads are designed with the ability to clip together into a single block for ease of handling.

Note: The individual sets of 6 test leads are not available for purchase separately.

FUSE EXTENSION LEADS

Do you need to measure the current through a circuit but can’t find anywhere on the vehicle where you can connect your current clamp?

Fuse extension leads are a simple accessory that can save you valuable time.

Fuse extension leads are quick and easy to use: simply remove the fuse (of the circuit you wish to test) from your fusebox and replace it with a fuse extension lead. Now insert the fuse into the extension lead. To measure the current drawn, just connect your Pico current clamp to the extension lead.

Connector Breakout Leads


This connector breakout lead enables you to take voltage readings from the numerous sensors and actuators in the engine compartment. Simply connect the breakout lead into the existing cable loom, and then take the output signal from the 4 mm banana plugs into the automotive oscilloscope using one of the TA125 to TA128 premium test leads. The breakout cable gives access to the individual wires to allow probing with current clamps. For example, this allows both injector current and injector voltage to be captured.

Note: the test lead is required to convert the 4 mm banana plug connection on the connector breakout leads to a BNC connector suitable for plugging into the PicoScope.
 

Connecting the connector breakout leads

**Please read these instructions before using the connector breakout leads.**

The signal pins must be identified by wiring diagrams or other means.

Regardless of the number of pins, Pico connector breakout lead colours are manufactured as follows:

Pin 1 - Green
Pin 2 - Red
Pin 3 - Blue
Pin 4 - Yellow
Pin 5 - White
Pin 6 - Black

It may be possible to cause a short circuit to the oscilloscope unit if incorrect connections are made! A short circuit could seriously damage the unit and will require it to be repaired at your own cost.

2-Pin AMP connector breakout lead (TA012)

The TA012 AMP breakout lead enables you to take voltage readings from the numerous 2-pin sensors and actuators in the engine compartment. Simply connect the breakout lead into the existing cable loom, and then take the output signal from the two 4 mm banana plugs into the automotive oscilloscope using one of the TA125 to TA128 premium test leads. The breakout cable gives access to the individual wires to allow probing with current clamps. For example, this allows both injector current and injector voltage to be captured.

Note: the test lead is required to convert the 4 mm banana plug connection on the TA012 to a BNC connector suitable for plugging into the PicoScope.

ta230 delphi diesel injector small Small Delphi injector connector breakout lead (TA230)

A Connector breakout lead for the smaller connector version of Delphi injectors as use by Ford, Jaguar and other vehicle manufacturers. 

The TA230 delphi injector breakout leads allows reliable direct measurement of the injector current and voltage patterns without back pinning or damaging the connector's moisture seals.

The lead include a custom moulded male connector that replicates the connection built into the body of the Delphi injector. 
 

6-Way Universal Breakout Leads - Available in a kit - See PQ070 above.

 
Pico’s universal 6-way breakout leads eliminate the need to own many specific breakout leads for engine diagnostics. The breakout leads are available with four different sizes of connectors, allowing you to connect to virtually any sensor in the engine compartment—of any vehicle—using just four leads. Never again will you need to search your workshop for that expensive vehicle/sensor specific lead.

The breakout lead is simply connected into the existing cable loom and enables voltage readings to be taken from the numerous sensors in the engine compartment. The output signal can then be taken from the 4 mm banana plugs into the input of the PicoScope oscilloscope using the TA000 test lead.
