| Symbol | Meaning | Example | |--------|---------|---------| | B+ | Battery voltage (usually 12V) | Pin 101 (Bosch) | | GND | Ground / Earth | Pin 2, 4 | | K-Line | ISO 9141-2 diagnostics | Pin 56 | | CAN H/L | CAN bus communication | Pin 6/14 (OBD) | | BOOT | Boot mode activation pin | Pin 23 (to 5V) | | RESET | Microcontroller reset | Pin 37 | | CS/SCK/MOSI/MISO | SPI programming lines | Used on older flash chips |

New addition: Many 2020+ ECUs now include CRC protection detection and automatic pinout validation via the Dimsport tool.
