The OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface BIM-01-2 allows direct plugging into the engine diagnostic port, extracting data from the vehicle's computer (ECM) for engine and transmission.
The BIM-01-2 will collect and output the following information to Dakota Digital Instrument Systems*: Speed, Tachometer, Engine Temp, Check Engine Indicator.
Vehicle specific data includes: Intake Air Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Gear Position, Oil Pressure.
Please note: Due to various factory and modified ECM's, additional data such as Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, and Gear Position may be available, but will vary by application.
The presence or accuracy of the Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, or Gear Position displays cannot be guaranteed as this depends on the ECM and matching OEM functional sensors.
A +/- 25 percent calibration can be applied to compensate for tire size or gear changes affecting speedometer output.
*The BIM-01-2 is designed to decode information from the ECM via OBD-II and supply it to the VFD3 rev.
G and VHX control box instrument systems only.
Earlier control boxes (with an aluminum case) are incompatible with the BIM family of Expansion Modules.
**The BIM-01-2 is designed for J1850 and CAN OBD protocols only, compatible with OBDII protocols SAE J1850 VPW, SAE J1850 PWM, and ISO 15765 CAN 500k 11 bit identifiers that follow the SAE J1979 PID protocol.
****GM Connect & Cruise packages do not transmit gear position data, preventing the BIM-01-2 from acquiring this information.
