Chrysler 6-pin to 16-pin OBD2 adapter cable – Passenger car

The Chrysler 6-pin to 16-pin OBD2 adapter cable is a specialized diagnostic adapter designed to connect modern reading equipment with older Chrysler vehicles, including Dodge, Jeep, and Plymouth. Many models from the period before 1996 are equipped with a 6-pin diagnostic connector, usually found in the engine compartment. This connection is not compatible with the standardized 16-pin OBD2 plugs.

This adapter acts as a physical bridge between the vehicle's 6-pin port and the 16-pin scanner interface. Both professional mechanics and experienced DIYers can read fault codes with suitable, protocol-compatible scan tools. The cable is passive and contains no electronic conversion; all functionality depends on the scan interface used.

Application and functionality:

This adapter cable is intended for electronic vehicle diagnostics on older vehicles with a Chrysler SCI (Scientific Control Imaging) communication protocol. In combination with a suitable scan tool, users can:

• Read fault codes (DTCs) from the engine management system
• Clear fault codes after repair (if supported)

The cable connects to the SCI TX and RX lines of the ECU and provides the necessary power and ground to the diagnostic system.

Compatible with the following vehicle makes and models:

This adapter cable is compatible with vehicles from around 1989 to 1995 with a Chrysler 6-pin diagnostic port. Examples:

• Chrysler: LeBaron, New Yorker, Saratoga, Voyager/Grand Voyager
• Dodge: Caravan/Grand Caravan, Spirit, Shadow, Daytona, early Ram models
• Jeep: Cherokee (XJ), Wrangler (YJ)
• Plymouth: Sundance, Acclaim, Voyager/Grand Voyager

Note: Some pre-1996 models, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Dakota (1995), may use a different connector or protocol. Check the physical presence of the 6-pin port before purchase.
