2009 Kia Optima - EVO-ONE - Unable to acquire Can Bus data - Blue LED does not flash

Question

2009 Kia Optima w/ Standard Key.  EVO-ONE with T-Harness and latest Firmware.  No PATS (No Immobilizer).  Using Guide #60931 and Program #2 (Vehicle without PATS data wire).

 

I've tried everything, and cannot acquire the Can Bus data.  Blue LED goes off instead of flashing rapidly when key is turned to the on/run position, and comes back on solid when the key is turn off.

 

I've double and triple-checked all wiring.  All connections are soldered and pass continuity checks.

 

Yellow wire (A1) is connected to Pink wire (E5) on the T-Harness as shown in the Wiring Guide.

OBD-II connector Pin 6 (White wire) is connected to Gray wire (C3) and measures 2.7 VDC.

OBD-II connector Pin 14 (Black wire) is connected to Grey/Black wire (C4) and measures 2.3 VDC.

I reversed the connections to C3 and C4 with the same results: No flashing Blue LED.

 

Can anyone provide some guidance on what else to do to get this working?

 

Thank you.

Answer 1

If can bus won't program simply skip that programming and just enable option 20.2 tachless in the remote starter of your evo-one.

 

Can bus only provides tach on this specific vehicle, by endabling tachless you can get around the blue le programming.

Thank you for the information, Derek.

I was aware of the 20.2 tachless option, but my concern is why it's failing to see the Can Bus on my vehicle.  I'm wondering if I might have a defective EVO-ONE unit, as I can connect successfully to the Can Bus using my Bluetooth OBD-II Adapter.

I was also hoping that door locks and the factory hood pin would also be provided on the Can Bus.  The Dealer programmed my door locks through the Can Bus a few months ago so only the Driver's door opens on the first turn of the key, and all doors open on the second turn, so I believe door lock control is available on the Can Bus.

If that's not the case, where can I find wiring diagrams for my particular vehicle to make all the necessary connections for door locks, factory hood pin, trunk, etc.?

Thank you.

The only status through can-bus on your vehicle is tach.

All other features if you want them (door locks, footbrake, door pins etc) all must be hardwired. That is why i suggested using 20.2 because it solves your issue rather easily.

 

Information for hardwiring the connections can be found on wirecolor.com
