The OBDSTAR M001B connects the 15-pin DB15 main port of your OBDSTAR diagnostic device to the 16-pin OBD2 connector (J1962) on your vehicle. The DB15 plug connects to the device's main port, while the OBD2 connector plugs into your vehicle's diagnostic socket.
This is the heavier of the two DB15 cable variants, weighing 0.3 kg. The cable carries both data signals and power supply, allowing your device to control and read the protocols on the OBD2 pins during diagnostics, key programming, and odometer operations.
What you can do through the cable depends on what the vehicle's OBD2 port provides access to and the capabilities of your own device software. For vehicles without an OBD2 port, additional manufacturer-specific adapters are required.
KEY BENEFITS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Applications and functionality
Through the OBD2 port, you access the systems your vehicle makes available on that connector.
Control modules you can reach
- Modules on the OBD2 port: the units that allow you to read and clear fault codes.
- Immobilizer System: the module involved in programming keys and remote controls.
- Dashboard/Instrument Cluster: the unit you communicate with for odometer operations.
What You Can Do
- Read and Clear Fault Codes: retrieve stored diagnostic trouble codes from the ECU and remove them after repair.
- Program Keys and Remote Controls: establish the connection your immobilizer system needs for this function.
- Perform Odometer Operations: communicate with the instrument cluster for mileage correction and adjustment.
- Power the Device: supply voltage from the OBD2 port to the diagnostic tool during operation.
- Important: which of these operations are permitted and available depends on your device, your licenses, and applicable regulations.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
What matters is the DB15 main port on your device and the OBD2 port on the vehicle—not the vehicle model. The source lists no specific makes or model years; this cable is the universal main connection between those two ports.
- Vehicles with 16-pin OBD2 (J1962): the standard diagnostic connector found on modern vehicles.
- OBDSTAR Diagnostic Tools with DB15 Main Port: the device-side connector fits only on that port.
