The Jaltest JDC565.9 connects the 12-pin diagnostic connector on forklifts and other materials handling equipment from Mitsubishi and Caterpillar to the 16-pin OBD2 port of your Jaltest diagnostic cable. The 12-pin plug connects to the machine (typically located in or beneath the driver's seat), whilst the OBD2 housing connects to the interface. The cable measures 30 cm and is specified for the Jaltest Link V9. Both manufacturers use this connector, so one cable works for both.
Once connected, the cable opens the diagnostic line to the truck's control units. Jaltest software can access the main computer VCM4, VCM6 and VCM15DN and the instrument cluster MP, and on heavier models also the engine control units 1204E and 1204F with exhaust aftertreatment SCR/DEF. What you'll find varies significantly by model: lighter trucks typically have just the main computer and instrument cluster, whilst heavy-duty versions include engine management as well. The cable falls under Jaltest MHE.
