OBDSTAR-DC706-MR140-pinout

Pin Function

K1 and K17 +12V constant (both)

K18 +12V Ignition / Contact

K32 K-Line (communication) ← It is NOT 17 as the drawing says M37, M38, M39, M40, M41 Ground/GND (connect at least 2 or 3 together)

K4 Pin BOOT (only if it asks for special mode)

In your drawing on the screen K32 appears as if it were pin 17 → it is backwards, pin 32 is the one of the K-Line.

 

Step by step to connect:

1. I corrected the K-Line to pin K32 (not 17)

2. Connect +12V to K1 and K17 together

3. Connect 2 or 3 masses M37+M38+M39

4. Turn on the source → wait 10 seconds

5. Give +12V to K18 (ignition)

6. Just now → start the connection from the computer

7. If it asks you → connect K4 to +5V/+12V and try again

90% of cases fail due to the wrong K-Line pin or lack of multiple masses.

 

Try the correct pinout, and take a good power supply (5amp min and 12v), it was tested working without issue.
