Volvo 8-pin to 16-pin OBD2 Adapter Cable – Truck
The Volvo 8-pin to 16-pin OBD2 adapter cable is a specialized diagnostic adapter designed to connect modern truck diagnostic equipment to older Volvo trucks and buses. These vehicles, especially from the 1990s and early 2000s, are often equipped with a round 8-pin diagnostic connector. This port is not compatible with the 16-pin connectors of today's universal truck scanners.
This adapter acts as an essential bridge between the Volvo-specific 8-pin port and diagnostic equipment such as the Volvo VoCom, Nexiq or other interfaces. The cable translates the physical connection without protocol conversion, making it ideal for use with J1708/J1587-compatible software. It is robust enough for use in workshops and fleet management.
Application and functionality:
The cable is used for in-depth vehicle diagnostics via compatible Volvo or universal diagnostic interfaces. Typical applications include:
- Read and clear fault codes: From systems such as engine, transmission (I-Shift/Powertronic), ABS, VECU
- Monitor live data: Real-time reading of engine speed, temperatures, sensor values
- Perform calibrations and tests: In combination with software such as Volvo Premium Tech Tool (PTT)
Compatible with the following vehicle makes and models:
This adapter cable is designed for Volvo Group vehicles with an 8-pin diagnostic port. Examples of compatible models:
- Volvo Trucks: FH (Gen 1), FM (Gen 1), FL, NH, F10, F12, F16
- Volvo Bus: B10, B12, B7
- Mack Trucks: older models
- Renault Trucks: older Premium, Magnum models with Volvo technology
Note: Always check the physical connection in the vehicle due to overlap with other diagnostic configurations in certain model years.
