The Jaltest JDC560A9 is the diagnostic cable for Hitachi with Isuzu engines, 6-pin. It connects the 6-pin engine plug in the engine wiring harness to a standard 16-pin OBD2 connector. On the machine side it has a fully black, rectangular connector housing with locking lugs and a deep sealing edge; on the interface side it has a black OBD2 connector with the OBD symbol.
The cable measures 30 cm and is designed for the Jaltest Link V9. Halfway along, a thinner lead branches off to a DC power connector. Once connected, the Jaltest software accesses the 4HK1 and 4JJ1 engine control in K-Line and CAN versions, the ECM of the heavier engines, and the AdBlue/DEF control. The cable is covered by Jaltest OHW.
