The Jaltest JDC527A is the diagnostic cable for Volvo Penta marine engines; it connects the 6-pin connector to the 16-pin OBD2 port on your Jaltest diagnostic device. The connector is part of the engine and sits in the engine bay, on or next to the block. Over the years, Volvo Penta has used various diagnostic connectors; this is the 6-pin version.
Through this adapter, your diagnostic equipment accesses the engine network and reaches two control units: the engine control module EDC1 and the display panel EDC CP. The difference between the two determines what you see: Jaltest reads fault codes and live data from the engine control module, while the display panel provides only system information. This cable is part of Jaltest Marine.
