The Jaltest JDC561A9 is the adapter cable that converts the proprietary 8-pin engine connector from Isuzu diesel engines in Hitachi machinery to the standard 16-pin OBD2-interface. The 8-pin connector is located in the engine harness at the motor itself, not at the diagnostic port in the cab; on the interface side, the cable terminates in a 16-pin OBD2 connector compatible with your Jaltest diagnostic tool. Hitachi uses two types of diagnostic connectors on these engines: this is the 8-pin version, and for the 6-pin variant, Jaltest offers the JDC560A9.

With this connection, Jaltest equipment reads the engine control unit directly at the motor side. This gives you access to the common-rail engine management 4HK1 / 4JJ1 in both K-Line and CAN configurations, the ECM of the heavier Isuzu engines, and the AdBlue/DEF-aftertreatment system on machines equipped with exhaust gas treatment. For construction equipment, the 16-pin OBD2 connector has never been mandatory, which means this engine connector remains in use on newer machines as well. This cable falls under Jaltest OHW (Off-Highway Equipment).

KEY BENEFITS

✔Connects to the 8-pin engine harness of Isuzu engines—the version that the 6-pin cable does not support.
✔Accesses the 4HK1 and 4JJ1 engine control units directly at the motor side.
✔Also compatible with machines where engine diagnostics run via CAN instead of K-Line.
✔Remains functional on newer equipment: For construction machinery, the 16-pin OBD2 connector has never been required.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕For the 8-pin engine connector only; machines with the 6-pin harness require the JDC560A9.
✕The AdBlue/DEF system is only found on machines with exhaust aftertreatment, such as the newer Zaxis generations.
✕The machine systems (MC machine computer, ICF gateway and MON display) are accessed via the diagnostic connector in the cab, not through this engine connector.
✕Requires a Jaltest Link with valid OHW license; the cable does not provide coverage on its own.

Applications and features

Through this connection, you access the engine control unit of the machine using Jaltest software. Which version is present depends on the engine and the generation of the Zaxis.

Control units you can access

  • 4HK1, 4JJ1 (K Line) Isuzu, Electronic Diesel Control, Common Rail: The common-rail engine control of the Isuzu four-cylinder engines in K-Line configuration.
  • 4HK1, 4JJ1 (CAN) Isuzu, Electronic Diesel Control, Common Rail: The same engine control on newer machines with CAN connectivity.
  • ECM, Engine Control Module: The engine control as Jaltest specifies for the heavier Isuzu engines.
  • AdBlue/DEF Isuzu, Exhaust gas treatment system: The aftertreatment control on machines equipped with AdBlue systems.

What you can do

  • Read and clear fault codes: Access the fault memory of the control unit with descriptions of detected faults.
  • View live data: Monitor real-time sensor values connected to the control unit, displayed as numbers and graphs.
  • Track maintenance: Record service intervals and completed work with a service report.
  • Perform additional functions: Execute extra procedures that Jaltest offers for each control unit, where available for your system.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The connector type determines compatibility, not the model. This cable fits any Hitachi machine where the Isuzu engine has the 8-pin connector in the engine harness. Jaltest OHW covers the following Isuzu engine series; verify on-site which of the two versions (6-pin or 8-pin) is installed on your machine.

Hitachi - Isuzu engine series:

  • Isuzu 4HK1 (in Zaxis ZX200-3 through ZX200-6): (2007 - 2021)
  • Isuzu 4JJ1 (in Zaxis ZX100/ZX200 series): (2007 - 2021)
  • Isuzu 6WG1 (in Zaxis ZX500/ZX800 series): (2007 - present)
  • Isuzu 6HK1 (in Zaxis ZX330-3, ZX350-3, ZX400-3): Model year independent
  • Isuzu 6UZ1 (in Zaxis ZX450/ZX470 series): Model year independent
💡
Good to know: The engine connector is located on the engine within the engine harness, not at the diagnostic port in the cab. Which of the two connector types (6- or 8-pin) is fitted to your machine depends on the harness configuration. Always verify which connector type is installed on your machine before ordering.
