The Jaltest JDC611A connects the 6-pin EGCI diagnostic connector of Volvo Penta petrol engines to the 16-pin OBD2 port of your Jaltest diagnostic cable; the same cable serves the OBD-M version. On the engine side is a black oval plug with a locking bracket and a purple contact holder with six gold-plated pins in one row. The cable measures 28 to 30 cm.

The cable opens the diagnostic line to the engine management and the EVC network on board: the ECM EGC, the older MEFI 1-2 and MEFI 3-4, the EVC modules EVC-C and EVC-MC, the HIU instrument panel, the HCU multiplex, the PCU drivetrain and the SCU steering control. On the EVC-C and EVC-MC you only get ECU data, parameters and, on the EVC-MC, calibration. The cable falls under Jaltest Marine.

ADVANTAGES

✔Reaches nine control units: from the engine management to the EVC modules for instruments, multiplex, drivetrain and steering control.
✔The ECM EGC provides the full function list, including component actuation, parameters and calibration.
✔Also covers the MEFI 1-2 and MEFI 3-4 that Volvo Penta used on the older petrol engines.
✔In addition to the EGCI connector, it also serves the OBD-M version, so one cable covers both connectors.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕The EVC-C and EVC-MC provide no fault codes and no measured values; they only offer ECU data, parameters and (on the EVC-MC) calibration.
✕On the MEFI control units, the parameters and calibration that the ECM EGC does have are missing.
✕The black oval plug is not interchangeable with the grey plug of the JDC527A, even though both are six-way.
✕This plug has pins and no contact sockets; it therefore only fits a connector with contact sockets on the engine side.

Applications and functionality

Via this connection you access the engine management and the EVC modules of the Volvo Penta petrol engine with the Jaltest software. Which functions you get differs per control unit; the biggest difference lies between the ECM EGC with the full list and the EVC parameter modules without fault codes.

Control units you can access

  • ECM EGC: Engine management, all functions.
  • MEFI 1-2 and 3-4: Older engine management.
  • EVC-C and EVC-MC: Parameters, no fault codes.
  • HIU (EVC): Instrument panel.
  • HCU (EVC): Multiplex.
  • PCU (EVC): Drivetrain.
  • SCU (EVC): Steering control.

What you can do

  • Fault codes: Engine and EVC modules.
  • Measured values: Live monitoring with the engine running.
  • Components: Actuators of the engine management.
  • Parameters: ECM EGC, EVC-C and EVC-MC.
  • Calibration: ECM EGC and EVC-MC.

How to use it

  1. Finding the plug: Black oval 6-pin plug.
  2. Connecting: Plug the JDC611A onto the plug.
  3. Connecting the link: OBD2 side onto the Jaltest cable.
  4. Ignition on: Switch the ignition on.
  5. Reading out: Select Volvo Penta and the engine.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The plug is decisive, not the model. This cable fits any Volvo Penta petrol engine with the 6-pin EGCI connector in the black oval plug. Jaltest Marine lists the series below in its coverage; check which plug is fitted in the engine compartment on site.

Volvo Penta (petrol):

  • Small blocks: 3.0 GXI, 4.3 GI, 4.3 GXI and 4.3 OSI.

The four Volvo Penta cables side by side

Volvo Penta uses a different diagnostic plug per engine generation and per application, with a separate cable for each version. Only the JDC618A9 requires a Jaltest Link V9; the other three also work on V8.1.

  • JDC527A: Grey rectangular plug, blue-green contact holder with six contact sockets and an orange sealing ring. For the Volvo Penta 6-pin diagnostic connector: EDC1 and EDC CP.
  • JDC528A: The same grey plug but wider, with eight contact sockets in two rows of four. For the 8-pin connection on stationary engines: EMS V3, EMS V4, EDC, ACM V3 and ACM V4.
  • JDC611A (this cable): Black oval plug, purple contact holder with six pins in one row. For EGCI 6-pin and OBD-M: ECM EGC, MEFI and the EVC modules.
  • JDC618A9: White rectangular plug with two round contact sockets, red and black wire. For Volvo Penta KAD/KAMD/TAMD with 2-pin connector.
💡
Good to know: The connector is located in the engine compartment, on or next to the engine. Both this cable and the JDC527A are six-way, but this one has a black oval plug with pins and the JDC527A a grey rectangular plug with contact sockets. Compare the plug on your engine with the four versions above before ordering.
