Testing the Analog Inputs on Your Pro Link or Pro Link+
If you experience issues with your Pro Link or Pro Link+, you may be asked to troubleshoot the device by connecting it to a AA battery to rule out hardware failure.
Follow these steps to perform the test:
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
- Open VCM Scanner.
- Right-click on the Channels list and select Add Channel.
- Navigate to External Inputs and select:
- MPVI2, MPVI2+, MPVI3 > Pro Link, Pro Link+.
- Double-click on A/D Input 1 (Red).
- Connect the Red Wire (A/D Input 1) to the Positive (+) terminal of a AA battery.
- Connect the Black Wire to the Negative (-) terminal of the battery.
- Connect your interface to your vehicle and start logging.
- Observe the voltage displayed in the Value column of the Channels list.
Expected Voltage Readings
- Without a Battery Connected: The voltage will hover around 1.34V - 1.37V (this is normal).
- With a New AA Battery Connected: The voltage should read approximately 1.5V - 1.6V.
Interpreting the Results
- If VCM Scanner reads these voltages correctly, the issue is likely not with the Pro Link hardware.
- Instead, check for:
- Incorrect custom PID setup.
- Improper wideband controller configuration.
