The Jaltest JDC203A is the adapter cable for commercial vehicles from Mercedes-Benz with the brand's signature round 14-pin connector; on the vehicle side is that connector, on the interface side the 16-pin OBD2 that fits your Jaltest diagnostic cable. The round 14-pin connector is located in the cabin.

Once the connection is established, the Jaltest software accesses the vehicle's control units: The engine control MR with unit pump system, the driving control FR and the complete switching and clutch control (GS, AG, KS), alongside braking systems, air suspension, instrument clusters and maintenance systems. How many of these are present depends on the model: An SK/MK/LK from the nineties has only a fraction of the control units found in an Actros. Mercedes-Benz used this round connector until the introduction of Euro IV (October 2005); if your vehicle is Euro IV or newer, you won't need this cable. This cable falls under Jaltest CV (commercial vehicles).

KEY FEATURES

Reaches the engine control MR (Unit Pump System) and the driving regulations FR (Drive control) of the Actros.
The powertrain units as well GS (Gear shift control), AG (Optimum gear automatic determination) and KS (Clutch regulation) are covered.
Additionally braking (ABS 6, BS Electronic Braking System), air suspension NR, instrument cluster INS and maintenance system WS.
One cable for the entire range up to Euro IV: From SK/MK/LK through Actros 2 (MP2), Atego, Axor, Vario, Econic and Unimog.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Electronic content varies significantly: An SK/MK/LK from the 1990s has only a fraction of the control units found in an Actros.
Round connector only for the 14-pin Mercedes-Benz connector; from Euro IV onwards, Actros, Atego and Axor models were equipped with the 16-pin OBD2 port.
Which control units and functions are available depends on the model and configuration.
Requires a Jaltest Link with valid CV license; the cable itself does not add coverage.
