The OBDSTAR M061 is an adapter cable for the 3-pin diagnostic connector found on Yamaha outboard motors. The 3-pin side connects to the engine's factory diagnostic port, whilst the other end features a standard 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) connector for your diagnostic device.

Yamaha equips its outboard engines with a proprietary connector featuring only three pins. This design choice reflects the manufacturer's approach rather than any limitation in data transmission capability, but it does mean that a standard automotive OBD2 cable will not fit. The cable serves as the mechanical and electrical interface between that port and the OBD2 input of your diagnostic hardware, performing no active signal conversion. The housing is compact and the cable length is kept short, which proves practical in the confined spaces around a marine engine. Through this connection, diagnostic signals from the Yamaha engine system are transmitted, allowing fault codes and engine data to be read. Available functions depend on your own device and its accompanying software.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Direct connection to the factory diagnostic port — Connection is straightforward with no intermediate adapter steps required.
✔Passive design — Without active electronics, signals pass through unmodified to your device.
✔Compact and short — The construction is optimised for the limited space around a marine engine.
✔Genuine OBDSTAR accessory — Designed for OBDSTAR devices with marine coverage.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕No confirmed engine list — No documented overview of compatible engine models and production years is available; consult the OBDSTAR compatibility list.
✕Yamaha outboard motors with 3-pin port only — Other vehicle or engine types from the manufacturer fall outside the scope of application.
✕OBDSTAR equipment only — The cable is part of the OBDSTAR ecosystem and is not compatible with hardware from other manufacturers.
✕Does not extend vehicle coverage — The available diagnostic functions depend on your device and its associated software, not on the cable.

Applications and functionality

This connection provides access to the engine management system of your Yamaha outboard motor.

Control units you can reach

  • Engine management system: The outboard motor control unit that communicates via the 3-pin connector.
  • Other systems: Whether additional systems beyond the engine management are accessible depends on the motor and your device.

What you can do

  • Read fault codes: Retrieve error codes from the engine management system via the 3-pin connector.
  • Clear fault codes: Delete stored error codes after diagnostics are complete.
  • Read live engine data: Monitor current sensor readings and engine parameters during diagnostic testing.
  • Check connection: Verify that your device establishes communication with the engine management system.
  • Please note: Which functions are available is determined by the marine coverage of your own device.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The 3-pin diagnostic connector is the determining factor, not the engine model. Only Yamaha outboard motors with this connector are supported. A model-by-model and year-by-year overview is not documented.

Yamaha:

  • Yamaha outboard motors with 3-pin diagnostic connector: Consult the OBDSTAR compatibility list for specific engine models and production years
💡
Good to know: The 3-pin Yamaha diagnostic port is typically located near the motor housing of the outboard motor; the exact location varies by engine model and power rating. Before ordering, confirm that your motor has the 3-pin port and that your device offers marine coverage for Yamaha.
