So I went to the junkyard, pulled an OBD2 socket from an 03 Forester, re-arranged the wires the configuration according to the DIY Code Reading Guide, and spliced it in. It was slightly tricky because the Ninja400 wire colours are different, but I luckily was able to figure it out (only 4 wires, too) going by the wires from my gear indicator plug.

Unfortunately, either I need to simply swap the K-Line and L-Line, or, my reader (Innova 3030e) doesn't read KWP-2000, which I'm thinking is the case because I cant find any information saying that it does. So, while it powers on, after blinking "read" for 20 seconds or so, it just says "Error". Will update once I get a new OBD reader. will most likely get a bluetooth one.

As of now, still no answers yet.

I'm assuming you did read this, but just to repost it:

DIY Code Reading / Clearing via ODB2

This took a bit of mucking around to nut this out but we ended up with a great solution for clearing codes without having to do the "Kawasaki code clear silly dance 3 times". Parts needed: OBD-II socket from a car. Soldering iron, solder, and electrical tape to join four wires neatly to the...

It's true though that it doesnt show the actual wire colours. perhaps because they very?

For me it ended up being:

OBD2 -----------I----------KDS
pin4/5 -----------> yellow/black (Ground)
pin 7 -----------> yellow/red (K-Line)
pin 15 -----------> orange (L-Line)
pin 16 -----------> yellow/white (12V)


Incase anyone's wondering, I've recently ordered another new fuel pump, going to take a second crack at taking the OEM pump and bracket apart. I'm 99% sure my issue is the fuel pump on it's last legs.

Thank You , mine dont have same color , z1000 2007

You didn't need to cut the harness, You could buy the factory Sumitomo HM-4P female plug off Amazon for $6

2007 2009 your z1000 ?

Mine's a 2003

ok so connector 4 wire but just 3 pin in it ?

If I remember correctly, the L-Line is not used, only the K-Line. So 3-pins should be enough to communicate. Be carefully though, DO NOT give your K-Line 12v by accident, it could fry your ECU. Triple check your wiring.

I remember back in early 2000's, if you showed up to a VW dealer with an aftermarket stereo they would refuse to work on your car because a lot of people unknowingly hooked up switched 12v to the original head unit harness's K-Line, which then ended up frying the dealer's $15,000 VAG 1551 scan tool.

ok thanks for the notice 😅 , I also try with my inno a 3060 but no possible connection , I order a bluetooth reader on amazon kwp2000 compatible so gonna try with this one , for the z1000 2007 2009 I found nothing precise for wiring the kds plug to obd2 .. so I will be careful

Sorry you're having trouble man! The only way I was actually able to figure out my wiring, was BECAUSE the aftermarket gear indicator was there. The gear indicator only has 3 wires, (red, black, and white) so I assumed correctly that red was power, black was ground, and white was K-Line, and could easily see which wire colour the gear indicator wires were corresponding to. As mentioned, L-Line isn't used, so I knew that the 4th wire was the L-Line.

You could potentially google a gear indicator for your model, and going off a photo, figure it out that way!

And yes, the unit MUST say that it is KWP2000 compatible. I was using a scanner that simply said "works on all ECU's", and kept getting error. Then I used a bluetooth scanner that was specifically compatible with KWP2000, and got the reading "no stored codes".

sound good thanks a lot , I order on amazon the bluetooth scanner and I now comparing the 2 wiring diagram z1000 2003 and z1000 2007 are you able to confirme me the color wire of you gear indicator with you wiring color , with the wiring diagram I suppose that the red(gear indicator) is on the white/yellow the black one of you gear indicator is one the black/yellow and the white one on the red/yellow ?

That info is already in my previous replies to your question, but to re-iterate. Once again, this is for my 2003 Z1000, originally from the USA (not a Canadian bike).


OBD2 -----------------------I---------------KDS-------------------Gear Indicator
pin4/5 black/blue -------------> yellow/black (Ground) --------- Black
pin 7 brown/white -----------> yellow/red (K-Line) -------------- White
pin 15 white/black -----------> orange (L-Line) -----------------
pin 16 red/black --------------> yellow/white (12V) -------------- Red

thank you 😎
