WARNING! Use Geotab telematics devices only with Geotab-approved harnesses acquired from Geotab-authorized channels. Use of non-Geotab harnesses from unauthorized channels can cause serious safety risks, including fire, and can lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle. |
This document identifies all harnesses available in MyAdmin, and some harnesses only available by special order. It also identifies the description as seen in MyAdmin, the length of the harness, the purpose, the GO devices it supports, and the harness it replaced (if applicable) or the harness name it will be moving to. In cases of GO4 harnesses and some of the other harnesses, we expect to keep them as is until we run out of stock, at which time they will be End of Life.
In June of 2014, we updated our harness naming convention. This section outlines the new naming convention and the definitions around what each character or group of characters means.
Harnesses all start with the HRN prefix followed by 6-character names as defined below. All characters are alphanumeric and no I’s or O’s are used to avoid confusion.
Examples:
The following table will help you identify and understand your harnesses.
Category | Family | Connections | Type | Length | |||||

Please note that where indicated below, a straight harness can be connected to a T-harness or another straight harness if a longer length is required to ease the installation. The total harness length must not exceed 2 meters (6.5 feet).
Please also note that two T-harnesses CANNOT be connected together regardless of the length. Connecting two T-harnesses or any two harnesses that exceed 2 meters can compromise the integrity of the data and potentially cause issues with the vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU).
