HRN-CG13S1 Note for heavy duty trucks with ALDL 16 pin connector - GO7

Hello,

 

On the Harness and Identification Application document, this note is labeled as important:

 

! IMPORTANT: For heavy-duty trucks, always use a vehicle-specific harness when offered by Geotab or the vehicle manufacturer (see the Harness Assessment Cheat Sheet and this document). Where a heavy-duty truck-specific harness is not offered by Geotab or the vehicle manufacturer, use the adapter harness (HRN-CG13S1) for any 16-pin (OBDII) installation method to avoid possible GO device damage.

 

Regarding to the use of HRN-CG13S1 adapter:

  • Is this applicable for legacy devices, such as GO7 and GO6?
  • Or only for GO9?

 

The reason why I'm asking is becasue some other installation notes specify that are exclusive for GO9. Example:

Hey @CesarOrtiz-1781​ sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. We have had a lot of team members on vacation recently. To answer your question: The SWC thermal event risk is strictly limited to GO9s. GO7/8 and older devices are not impacted.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions about this and again I appreciate your patience with this.

 

Have a great day!

Hello, Is this applied to the new GA's as well or just the Go9?

Good question! This only applies to the GO9 . The GA devices are much newer and are unaffected by this.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
