It's no secret that the most reliable way to troubleshoot is computer diagnostics of the car. Thanks to the use of special tools, it is possible to accurately determine and even prevent a malfunction in any part and system of the machine. And so that computer equipment can read data and determine error codes, there is a diagnostic connector in the passenger compartment. It will be discussed today.
What is he?
Externally, the diagnostic connector (including the Priora VAZ) resembles a kind of socket into which a special wire is connected that connects the car with computer equipment. Moreover, this cord is not simple, but diagnostic. It costs a lot of money - about 4-5 thousand rubles. If you connect a regular wire from an extension cord, you will not be able to receive any data. We will talk about them a little later, and as for the connectors themselves, each manufacturer completes their cars with different devices. All of them differ in their shape and are placed in the cabin in different ways. And if computer equipment can be connected to absolutely any car, be it a Lada Grant or an Outlander, then the diagnostic connector and plug are neededpurchase your own for each car.
How important is he?
In the car system, it is simply irreplaceable. Without this device, it is impossible to make a full diagnosis, even if you have a plug and software. There will be nowhere to connect all this goodness, so the connector must always be serviceable. It is a connecting node that transmits information and error codes from the ECU through the cord to the screen of the diagnostic equipment monitor.
Production
All automotive connectors are manufactured in separate workshops using special technical tools and equipment. Black ABS plastic is often used as the body material on such products. The pin connector complies with the OBD II standard. Silver or tin is applied on top of it. The latter material most often covers the diagnostic connector of VAZ and Volg. All these devices are produced on a special mold using special technologies.
Cables
Today, there are three main cords that connect to the diagnostic connector:
- Euroscan.
- Uniscan.
- K-L-Line.
They are all equally effective and can transmit information with high accuracy. Unlike connectors, cords can be used on several vehicles, that is, they can be universal.
Price
It is worth noting that the more electronics a car has, the more expensive its diagnostic equipment. Yes, the price ofconnectors for imported cars is about 5-10 thousand rubles. Devices for modern VAZs such as "Priora" and "Largus" are 2 times cheaper. The cheapest diagnostic connector is for the old Volga and VAZ classics, although it is not clear why they are needed there and what they have to do with computer diagnostics. They cost from 140 to 300 rubles, but given how Soviet cars were “stuffed” with electronics, they are of no use.

The internal combustion engine works by rotating the crankshaft. It rotates under the influence of connecting rods, which transmit forces to the crankshaft from the translational movements of the pistons in the cylinders. In order for the connecting rods to work in tandem with the crankshaft, a connecting rod bearing is used. This is a sliding bearing in the form of two half rings. It provides the possibility of rotation of the crankshaft and long engine operation. Let's take a closer look at this detail
