The Jaltest JDC201A is the diagnostic cable for the round 8-pin connector from Volvo Trucks; the cable brings that connection to the 16-pin OBD2-input of the Jaltest equipment. The 8-pin connector is located in the cab and is used on pre-Euro IV generation vehicles.
With this connection, the Jaltest equipment reads out the control units that Cojali manages for these Volvo generations: The engine control EDC, the central VECU, the transmission control TECU with the diagnostic unit GECU, the braking systems ABS and EBS, the air suspension ECS and the instrument cluster, body, and tachograph modules. The number of these varies significantly by model: On the FL 6, Jaltest covers the engine, VECU, brakes, instrument panel and air suspension, while the list for the FH 12 V2 includes dozens of units. Volvo stuck with this proprietary round connector until the introduction of Euro IV (October 2005); after that, the 16-pin OBD2 connector became standard and you won't need this cable. The cable falls under Jaltest CV (commercial vehicles).
