The Jaltest JDC308A is a unique and essential adapter cable, specially developed for diagnosing the modern ZF Ecolife automatic transmission. This cable stands out due to its specific connection: it connects the Mini-USB diagnostic port on the transmission ECU directly to the 16-pin OBD2 connector of your Jaltest system. For any technician working on city buses or coaches, this is an indispensable tool.
The ZF Ecolife is the advanced successor to the Ecomat transmission and forms the heart of countless buses in public transport. Direct access to the ECU is important for troubleshooting electronic faults, performing software adjustments, and calibrating the gearbox. The JDC308A provides this reliable, direct connection, keeping the fleet efficient and trouble-free. Despite the compact Mini-USB connector, the cable is of professional quality and designed for intensive workshop use.
