The Jaltest JDC308A does not terminate in a connector block on the vehicle side but in a mini-USB. Which end goes where is clearly shown in the photograph. On one side is the 16-pin OBD2 connector marked JDC308A, into which the Jaltest Link diagnostic cable plugs; on the other side is a 5-pin mini-USB Type B connector with a metal housing, and this connects to the diagnostic port on the ZF EcoLife gearbox. The cable between them is 28 to 30 cm long.
With this connection, the Jaltest software reads the control unit of the EcoLife automatic transmission. The EcoLife is the successor to the Ecomat: ZF launched it in 2008 as a six-speed gearbox for urban and regional buses, in the model range 6AP1000B to 6AP2000B, and has supplied it since 2019 as the EcoLife 2. The mini-USB is located on the gearbox itself and not on the vehicle's OBD port, so this cable reaches the transmission even when it does not communicate via vehicle diagnostics. The cable works with Jaltest Link V8.1 and V9 and falls under the Jaltest CV module.

Compatible vehicles and applications

ZF launched that gearbox in 2008 as the successor to the Ecomat and has supplied it since 2019 as the EcoLife 2. Which connection is on your gearbox you can see on the gearbox itself: A mini-USB or the yellow 9-pin connector of the MCP version.
Application:
- Urban and regional buses and coaches: With a ZF EcoLife automatic transmission.
- All chassis manufacturers: The cable follows the gearbox, not the bus builder.
- Mini-USB version: The version with the yellow 9-pin MCP connector belongs to JDC309A.
