The OBDSTAR M063 is a universal 6-pin OBD to 16-pin OBD2 adapter cable specifically designed for diagnostics and programming of internal combustion engines in marine and industrial applications. The cable features a 6-pin OBD connector (female) on one end and a standard 16-pin J1962 OBD2 connector (male) on the other, allowing engine control systems with non-standard diagnostic connectors to connect with OBDSTAR diagnostic equipment. The cable is compatible with engine manufacturers including PCM/Crusader Engines, Ilmor, Indmar, Kodiak Marine, Marine Power, MerCruiser, Panther Airboats, Seven Marine and Volvo Penta.

The M063 adapter cable converts the 6-pin engine signal physically to the OBD2 port layout, enabling OBDSTAR diagnostic readers or programmers to access and process the existing diagnostic communication from the engine management system. The cable remaps the pin configuration without signal conversion or active electronics — the connection is passive and routes the relevant communication lines such as K-line or CAN to the corresponding pins in the OBD2 connector. This makes it possible to read fault codes, monitor engine parameters, and where supported perform programming operations via the OBDSTAR interface.

KEY BENEFITS

✔ Gain access to engine control systems from nine marine and industrial engine manufacturers using a single cable type.
✔ Passive pass-through connection with no active electronics, eliminating the need for additional power or configuration.
✔ Connects directly to the standard OBD2 port on OBDSTAR devices without intermediate adapters.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕ Compatible exclusively with OBDSTAR diagnostic readers or programmers; use with other diagnostic hardware is not supported.
✕ The cable is not suitable for passenger vehicles or equipment with a standard 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic connector as the sole connection.
✕ Available diagnostic functions depend on the specific OBDSTAR device's support and software version.

Applications and Features

The M063 adapter cable supports the following diagnostic functions via OBDSTAR equipment on compatible combustion engines.

  • Read and clear fault codes: Error codes stored in the engine control unit (ECU) are retrieved through the 6-pin connection and can be cleared after diagnosis.
  • Live data monitoring: Engine parameters such as RPM, coolant temperature, and fuel pressure are read in real-time via the diagnostic link.
  • ECU programming: Where supported by the OBDSTAR device, the cable can be used to reprogram or initialize the engine control unit.
  • 6-pin to OBD2 pinout conversion: The cable routes communication lines from the 6-pin engine connector to the corresponding pin positions of the 16-pin J1962 OBD2 connector.
