The Jaltest JDC565.9 is the adapter cable connecting the 12-pin diagnostic connector of Mitsubishi- and Caterpillar forklifts to the 16-pin OBD2 port on your Jaltest diagnostic cable. On the vehicle side, you'll find the 12-pin connector, which plugs in under or near the driver's seat, and on the interface side, the 16-pin OBD2 inlet. Both brands are listed in Jaltest's MHE segment and share this connection, so one cable works for both.
The cable opens the diagnostic line to the truck's control units. This allows Jaltest software to reach the main computer VCM4, VCM6 and VCM15DN and the instrument cluster MP, and on heavier models also the engine control units 1204E and 1204F and the exhaust aftertreatment system SCR/DEF. What you'll find varies significantly by model: on lighter trucks, it's limited to the main computer and instrument cluster. The cable falls under Jaltest MHE (Material Handling Equipment).
