The Jaltest JDC565.9 connects the 12-pin diagnostic connector of Mitsubishi and Caterpillar forklift trucks to the 16-pin OBD2 port of your Jaltest diagnostic cable. On the machine side is the 12-pin plug, located in or under the operator's position; on the interface side is the OBD2 housing. The cable measures 30 cm and is specified for the Jaltest Link V9.
With the cable connected, the Jaltest software reaches the central computer VCM4, VCM6 and VCM15DN and the instrument panel MP. On the heavier versions the engine controllers 1204E and 1204F and the exhaust gas aftertreatment SCR/DEF are added; on the lighter trucks it remains limited to the central computer and the instrument panel. The cable is covered by Jaltest MHE.
