The OBDSTAR M074 connects the 3-pin diagnostic connector on Yanmar engines to the 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) port on your OBDSTAR diagnostic device. On the engine side, the Yanmar-specific 3-pin connector plugs directly into the factory diagnostic port; on the device side, you'll find a standard OBD2 female connector.

Yanmar engines use a proprietary 3-pin connector instead of a standard OBD2 port. The cable length and wiring are configured to match the Yanmar protocol pinout, ensuring that diagnostic signals reach your scan tool without alteration.

This cable establishes a connection to the engine control unit (ECU) of your Yanmar engine. What you can do with that connection depends on whether your OBDSTAR device's software supports that particular engine model — the cable itself provides no additional coverage.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Direct fit to the Yanmar connector — the 3-pin side connects to the engine's diagnostic port with no adapter needed.
✔Converts to a standard interface — the proprietary port is adapted to the OBD2 format (J1962) that OBDSTAR devices use.
✔Wiring matched to Yammer protocol — diagnostic signals are routed to the correct pin positions.
✔No power or configuration required — the cable works as soon as both ends are connected.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕3-pin version only — Yammer engines with different connector types are not compatible with this cable.
✕No year-by-year model list — OBDSTAR does not provide a list of compatible engine models and production years for this cable; the connector on your engine is what matters.
✕OBDSTAR devices only — diagnostic tools from other manufacturers are not compatible with this cable.
✕Coverage depends on your device — software support varies by engine model; the cable only makes the physical connection.

Applications and Features

Through the 3-pin connector, you gain access to the engine control unit of your Yammer engine.

Control Units You Can Access

  • Engine Control Unit (ECU): the engine management module on your Yammer engine where the 3-pin diagnostic connector is located.
  • Other modules: whether additional units are accessible varies depending on the engine type and device.

What you can do

  • Read fault codes: retrieve stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the Yanmar ECU and display them on the OBDSTAR device.
  • Clear fault codes: erase the engine control unit memory after diagnosis.
  • Monitor live data: read real-time engine parameters such as RPM, temperatures and sensor values while the engine is running.
  • Convert connection: the 3-pin diagnostic port is converted to the 16-pin OBD2 connector of the OBDSTAR hardware.
  • Please note: available functions depend on your device's software support for the specific Yanmar engine type.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The determining factor is the 3-pin diagnostic connector, not the engine type. OBDSTAR does not provide engine types with model years for this cable; compatibility is determined by the connector present.

💡
Good to know: The 3-pin diagnostic port on Yanmar engines is typically located on or near the engine management module; consult the engine manual for the exact location for your specific engine type and model year. Check the number of pins on the diagnostic connector on your engine before ordering.
