The Jaltest OBD215 is the adapter between the 12-pin OBD1 diagnostic connector and the 16-pin OBD2-port of your Jaltest diagnostic cable. On the vehicle side sits a rectangular black plug with twelve pins arranged in two rows of six; the marking OBD215 is moulded into the housing. At 5.8 cm in length, it is a compact cordless block, which connects between your existing cable and the vehicle connector.
That 12-pin connector is the American OBD1 interface, known in the workshop as the ALDL-connector that General Motors used before the 16-pin standard arrived. In the United States, OBD-II became mandatory from model year 1996; in Europe, the standardised connector with EOBD came into force on 1 January 2001 for petrol and 1 January 2004 for diesel. Within the Jaltest programme, this is a commercial and light commercial vehicle application: the software includes modules for trucks, buses, vans, agricultural, earthmoving, materials handling and marine vehicles, with no separate passenger car module. The adapter is approved for Jaltest Link V8.1 and V9 and falls under Jaltest CV.

Compatible vehicles and applications
The connector type determines compatibility, not the model.This adapter is for the 12-pin ALDL connector with two rows of six pins, located in the cabin under the dashboard.
