AEM 6 Channel CAN Sensor Module

AEM 6 Channel CAN Sensor Module (PN 30-2226) | AEMnet Expansion

Expand your AEM CD-Series dash or CAN network with the AEM 6 Channel CAN Sensor Module (30-2226). Features 0-5V analog, temperature, fuel level, and tach inputs.

The AEM 6 Channel CAN Sensor Module (Part Number: 30-2226) is a compact, cost-effective expansion unit designed to bridge analog and frequency sensors with AEMnet and standard CAN bus networks. It provides a seamless solution for transmitting essential vehicle telemetry—including temperature, fluid pressure, engine speed, and fuel levels—to AEM CD-Series Digital Dash Displays or third-party CAN-enabled loggers.

Housed in a rugged, IP67-rated potted enclosure, this module is built to withstand harsh motorsport and automotive environments, keeping internal components safe from dust and water intrusion. Equipped with an integrated 12-pin Deutsche (DTM-style) connector, the module drastically reduces wiring clutter by transmitting multiple sensor data streams across a simple two-wire CAN bus connection. Whether upgrading a carbureted hot rod, a standalone EFI vehicle, or an EV conversion, the AEM 6 Channel CAN Module simplifies sensor integration without requiring expensive main ECU harness overhauls.

Best Uses

1. Carbureted & Vintage Vehicle Monitoring: Add digital dashboard display capability (like AEM CD-5 or CD-7 dashes) to older, non-EFI vehicles without replacing the ignition system.
2. EV Conversions & Custom Builds: Collect auxiliary temperatures, pressures, and fluid levels into a centralized CAN bus network.
3. Stand-Alone Dash & Data Logging: Route auxiliary sensors directly to a logger or display screen, bypassing limited inputs on your primary ECU.
4. Clean Harness & Engine Bay Wiring: Reduce long multi-wire runs by digitizing inputs local to the engine bay and routing data via a single CAN bus cable pair.

Features

1. Multi-Input Capability: Equipped with 2 dedicated 0–5V analog inputs, 2 thermistor temperature inputs, 1 dedicated 0–250  fuel level input, and 1 tachometer/frequency input.
2. IP67 Sealed Weatherproof Enclosure: Fully potted, dust-tight housing protected against high-moisture exposure and water spray.
3. Bosch CAN 2.0b & AEMnet Compatibility: Native support for standard AEMnet and Bosch CAN 2.0b protocols for simple daisy-chaining with compatible displays and loggers.
4. Integrated 5V Sensor Supply: Features a dedicated 5V reference output pin to power active 0–5V pressure transducers and sensors directly.
5. Compact DTM-Style Connector: Uses a standard 12-pin sealed DTM connector kit for secure, vibration-resistant wiring integration.

Benefits

1. Reduces Harness Complexity: Consolidates 6 individual sensor signals onto a two-wire CAN bus stream, reducing wire runs, vehicle weight, and overall harness clutter.
2. Extends Dash Capabilities Without an ECU Upgrade: Allows non-EFI or limited-input setups to stream critical gauge data directly to digital dash displays.
3. Durable Motorsport Reliability: IP67 weather-resistant construction ensures dependable operation under tough racing, off-road, or engine-bay conditions.
4. Cost-Effective System Expansion: Adds analog and frequency channels at a fraction of the cost of higher-tier power distribution or expansion units.
5. Plug-and-Play AEM Ecosystem Integration: Pre-configured output channels integrate effortlessly into AEM Setup Wizard software for CD-Series dash displays.
