Jaltest (JDC533A) | Caterpillar 14-pins OBD - 16-pins OBD2 Adapter Cable | Combustion Engine

The Jaltest JDC533A is an essential and robust adapter cable, specially designed for the diagnosis of Caterpillar (CAT) combustion engines. This cable forms the indispensable bridge between the specific round 14-pin diagnostic port of Caterpillar and the standardized 16-pin OBD2 connector of your Jaltest system. A key component for any workshop servicing heavy equipment.

This adapter focuses on the heart of the machine: the powerful CAT engine. Because Caterpillar engines are used in a wide variety of machines (including those from other manufacturers), this cable enables in-depth engine diagnosis regardless of the machine's brand. The JDC533A is built for the most demanding conditions on construction sites, in mines, or in the field, and guarantees a reliable connection to the engine computer (ECM).

Application and functionality:

• Direct engine diagnosis: full access to the engine ECM for reading all systems.
• Read and clear fault codes: read and remove both active and stored fault codes.
• View live engine data: read crucial data such as turbo pressure, engine speed, load, fuel consumption, temperatures, and pressures.
• Perform diagnostic tests: carry out CAT engine tests such as cylinder deactivation and injector actuation.
• Set parameters: view and, if supported, adjust engine parameters.
