Jaltest Marine (Outboard) Diagnostic Tool

What's in the box

The case contains the hardware for establishing the connection, plus the software rights that unlock the Outboard module. The hardware is identical to the standalone set 70001053; the difference between the four Marine diagnostic readers lies in the software module, not the case. Below is a breakdown of each component, what it does and its reference number.

Hardware

• Jaltest Link V9 (70001015): The diagnostic interface you connect to the engine's diagnostic port, with 26-pin DB26 to the cable and USB-C to the computer.
• Multipin Kit Jaltest Marine (70002007): Twenty multipins JTP01 through JTP10, each in two colours, connection cable JTP101 and power cable JDC10AM2 with battery clamps. Use these to connect directly into a connector for which no dedicated diagnostic cable exists.
• OBD cable, 16-pin (JDC213.9): The standard cable for the conventional diagnostic port.
• USB-C cable (JDC107.9B): The connection between the Link and your computer.
• Extension cable 250 cm (JDC100B): With a 26-pin DB26 connector, the wide connector on the Link itself. Two and a half times longer than the JDC100 in other Jaltest cases, because onboard the engine is rarely within arm's reach of where the laptop sits.
• Case (70003015): The compact version, 505 x 381 x 146 mm.

Software

• Software (74502004): The one-time purchase that unlocks the Outboard module.
• Licence activation, twelve months (74502014): The right to use it for the first year.
• INFO Online Marine (29479): The technical information accompanying the software. Included, not sold separately and free from 2026 onwards.
• Jaltest GRP: Cojali's workshop software for customers, vessels and reports.

A laptop and marine cables are not included. See Cables and computer further down this page.

Which engines and systems

Jaltest Marine Outboard covers the engine on the transom, from lightweight four-stroke to heavy blocks with direct fuel injection and SmartCraft electronics. A brand on the list means coverage exists, not that every model and year of manufacture is fully supported. The regional breakdown refers to the country where the brand originates, not its current owner.

Outboard motors

Well-known brands among the outboard engines covered by Jaltest Marine Outboard: Evinrude, Honda, Mercury, Suzuki, Tohatsu and Yamaha.

All 15 outboard engine brands, broken down by region:

European includes the United Kingdom, Turkey and Russia. Chinese is separate from Asian, which includes Japan, South Korea and India. The breakdown is based on the country of origin of the brand, not its current owner, and engine manufacturers are assigned to their own country's region.

Onboard systems

• Engine control: The control unit under the cowling, including the Mercury PCM-555 and ECM-555, the SmartCraft G3 system, the Honda ECM PGM-FI and the Suzuki DF series engine control.
• Fuel system: Fuel injection, injectors, fuel pump and fuel pressure.
• Throttle: The throttle position sensor (TPS), which determines throttle response.
• Trim and tilt: Trim angle, trim and tilt motor and the angle sensor that displays position on screen.
• Engine speed control: Idle speed, including trolling speed operation.
• Control electronics: Remote control and instrument panel at the helm station.
• Onboard network: The NMEA 2000 network that carries engine data to the instruments.

The four Marine packages side by side

The four Marine diagnostic readers share the same case 70001053 and the same Jaltest Link V9; the difference lies entirely in the software module. Below is a breakdown of what each set covers, so you can see which suits your needs.

What you can do with it

With the Outboard module you read out control units, monitor live values and command components. It also includes a reference with wiring diagrams, fault trees and service data for the system you're working on.

Diagnostics and service

• Read and clear fault codes: The fault memory of the control unit, with active, inactive and permanent codes and a description for each.
• Live values: Engine speed, fuel pressure, trim angle and throttle position, in numbers or as a graph.
• Command components: Directly control injectors, fuel pump and trim and tilt motor to assess their operation.
• ECU data: Part number, serial number, software version and total running hours of the control unit.
• Maintenance and service: Disable cylinders individually, adjust idle speed for trolling, reset adaptive learning values and reset service hours to zero.
• Calibrations and learning procedures: Calibrate the throttle valve position sensor and relearn the trim and tilt sensor after the engine has been removed from the transom.

Technical information included

• Wiring diagrams: Motor system electrical schematics with clickable fuses, earth connections, sensors, control units and wiring.
• Technical specifications: Torque settings, adjustment data, fluid specifications and sensor, actuator and control unit parameters.
• Fault code repair guides: Step-by-step guidance for each fault code found, including wiring inspection, component testing and recommended solution.
• Symptom-based troubleshooting: Search without a fault code, based on a complaint such as hard starting, power loss or overheating.
• Technical bulletins: Cojali notices on common faults and recurring issues by manufacturer.
• Maintenance data: Service schedules based on running hours, with service procedures and replacement of filters, impellers, V-belts, thermostats and anodes.

The difference with expert mode

Standard diagnostics means reading, measuring and actuation. In expert mode, you additionally adjust parameters in the control units: calibrating sensors and actuators, setting operating parameters and performing learning procedures. This mode is included with this product.

Cables and computer

The case includes the 16-pin OBD cable for the standard connector. On the water, no standardised OBD connector was ever made mandatory, so virtually every engine manufacturer uses its own diagnostic connector, even on new engines. The software itself runs on a Windows PC.

• Outboard cable set (70002025): Eight cables — JDC601A, JDC603A, JDC608A, JDC609, JDC614A, JDC616A, JDC617A and JDC628A.
• Mercury: JDC603A for the wide 4-pin connector, JDC614A for the 2-pin A9 connector and JDC617A for the 10-pin SmartCraft G3 electronics connector.
• Honda, Evinrude and Yamaha: JDC608A for the 4-pin PGM-FI control connection, JDC609 for the 3-pin Evinrude connector with separate power feed to battery terminals, and JDC601A for the 3-pin Yamaha connection.
• Suzuki, Tohatsu, Hidea and Parsun: JDC616A for the 4-pin connection is included in the set. Available separately are JDC613A for the 8-pin DF-series connection, JDC624 for the 18-pin connector and JDC631A for the 6-pin connector under the cowling.
• Network connection: JDC628A, which does not connect to the engine but goes into the main trunk of the NMEA 2000 network using a T-connector.
• Computer: The software runs on Windows. Cojali supplies the Jaltest Rugged PC and the A140 Rugged PAD; both are available separately in our webshop.

The cable you need is determined by the diagnostic connector on the engine, not by the name on the engine cover. Check the connector on the engine itself before ordering: If it is the 16-pin OBD2 connection, the supplied JDC213 is sufficient; if it is a manufacturer-specific connector, the corresponding cable is listed above.

Licence and renewal

The software licence runs for twelve months from activation and is then renewed annually with the update licence (74602004). As long as the licence is active, you receive all new software versions and maintain access to technical information.

• Term: Twelve months from activation.
• Renewal: Annually, with the update licence (74602004), each time for a further twelve months.
• Installations: Up to five PCs. The Jaltest hardware is always required to run the software.
• Registration: Upon activation, after each new software version, and every six months thereafter.
• Add modules later: A module purchased later is aligned with your current licence; you pay a pro-rata fee.
• Do not renew: Diagnostics continue to work on the last installed version, but access to technical information is lost. Cojali continues to support an expired licence for one year.

Optional add-ons

In addition to the Outboard module, there are add-ons that you purchase separately. They are not necessary to diagnose, but they expand the reference material, support or coverage. Below is what comes with Marine.

• Jaltest ATS (70809004): One year of access to Cojali's English-language technical helpdesk. Continues automatically; cancellation is by written notice up to thirty days before the expiry date.
• Jaltest Central Services: Tasks that Cojali's specialists perform for you, per task.
• The other Marine modules: Marine Inboard (74502003) and Marine Jetski (74502005) can be added separately, or you take Marine Full (74502001) in one go, which covers all four areas.
