The Jaltest JDC551A connects the rectangular 6-pin diagnostic connector of Liebherr earthmoving, material handling and lifting equipment to the 16-pin OBD2 port of your Jaltest diagnostic cable. On the machine side, there is a black rectangular plug with a locking clip on the top and flat pins in the housing; this plug is located in the cab or engine compartment. The cable measures 28 to 30 cm.
Once the connection is established, the Jaltest software accesses the machine's control units, and the extent of access depends on the machine type: on an R-series excavator you reach the machine computer MCM, on an L-series wheel loader the UEC3- or Master4-computer plus the engine controllers ECU2-HD, ECU3, LIDEC1 and LH ECU UPCR, and on an LTM mobile crane additionally the transmission (AS Tronic, TraXon, GSII and Ecomat 1), braking system, retarder and SCR aftertreatment. For construction and lifting equipment, an OBD connection has never been mandatory, so this plug appears across multiple machine generations. The cable is part of the Jaltest Link V8.1 and falls under Jaltest OHW (construction and earthmoving equipment).
KEY BENEFITS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Applications and functionality
