The Autel Mercedes 38-pin adapter cable is specifically developed to connect the older, vehicle-specific 38-pin diagnostic connector of Mercedes-Benz to the 16-pin OBD2 connector of a diagnostic device. This adapter cable is used in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars produced before full standardization to OBD2, where the diagnostic port is usually located in the engine compartment rather than inside the cabin.

By implementing the correct pin layout, this adapter enables communication between the complex wiring networks of older Mercedes models and modern diagnostic equipment. The adapter ensures stable signal transmission for various protocols needed to read modules such as engine, transmission, ABS, and airbags via the 38-pin connector. The design features a molded construction that withstands intensive workshop use.

ADVANTAGES

✔ Enables communication with older Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

✔ Specially designed for use with Autel diagnostic systems.

✔ Robust housing with strain relief for the cabling.

✔ Full 38-pin layout for in-depth system access.

KEY POINTS

✕ Not suitable for vehicles with a standard 16-pin OBD2 port.

✕ Diagnostic tester must have specific OBD1 software.

✕ Functions as a physical adapter cable, no built-in protocol converter.

Applications and functionalities

This adapter cable is essential for reading older Mercedes-Benz models that are not yet equipped with the standardized EOBD connector. The cable facilitates the physical connection and signal transmission.

Connector conversion: Converts from Mercedes-Benz specific 38-pin (male) to universal OBD2 16-pin (female).
Vehicle communication: Enables access to vehicle-specific control units such as ECU, ABS, SRS, and transmission in older models.
System diagnosis: Supports reading and clearing fault codes and viewing live data, depending on the capabilities of the connected diagnostic device.

Compatible vehicles and applications

This adapter is suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles from around 1990 to 2002 equipped with the round 38-pin diagnostic connector. The list below provides an indication of common compatible models:

Mercedes-Benz:

C-Class (W202): (1993 - 2000)
CLK-Class (W208): (1997 - 2002)
E-Class (W124): (Late models with 38-pin connector)
E-Class (W210): (1995 - 2002)
S-Class (W140): (1991 - 1998)
SL-Class (R129): (1989 - 2001)

💡

Good to know: In the mentioned Mercedes models, the 38-pin diagnostic connector is usually located under the hood, often integrated into the fuse box. Remove the protective cover to access the connector.
