The OBDSTAR T001 is an adapter cable featuring a 15-pin DB15 connector on the device side and a connector on the vehicle side that interfaces with the wiring of the Audi 48V start-stop engine module. The cable does not connect to the OBD2 port, but instead connects directly to the module, typically located in the engine bay.

In mild-hybrid Audi vehicles, the 48V start-stop module performs both a starting and a power generation function. These functions are difficult to assess separately within the vehicle. Via this cable, the module is connected to the OBDSTAR test platform, which sends commands to activate and monitor both functions. The cable provides the complete signal and power transmission required for this purpose. The cable is a test connection, not a diagnostic cable: it provides no access to the vehicle network and does not replace the OBD2 connection. The test functions themselves come from the test platform. The source does not specify particular Audi models or model years, only passenger vehicles equipped with a 48V mild-hybrid start-stop system.

ADVANTAGES

✔Testing outside the vehicle — the 48V start-stop module can be assessed independently of the vehicle on the test platform.
✔Two functions in one connection — both the engine start function and the power generation test are supported via the same connection procedure.
✔Direct DB15 coupling — the connector interfaces directly with the DB15 interface of the test platform, with no intermediate adapters required.
✔Signal and power in one cable — the transmission required to simulate the module state under controlled conditions is integrated into the cable itself.

CONSIDERATIONS

✕OBDSTAR system only — the cable functions exclusively with OBDSTAR test platform equipment and is not compatible with tools from other manufacturers.
✕No added coverage — the cable does not perform test functions itself; what can be tested is determined by the test platform software.
✕This module only — the cable is designed for the Audi 48V start-stop module; other systems or vehicle platforms are not supported.
✕No model list or model years — the source does not specify particular Audi types. You must verify independently whether the vehicle is equipped with a 48V mild-hybrid variant.

Applications and functionality

In combination with an OBDSTAR test platform, the cable supports the following test functions on the 48V start-stop engine module.

Control units you can access

  • 48V start-stop engine module: The module connects directly, independently of the vehicle network.
  • No other control units: The cable connects to the module wiring itself; you cannot reach other vehicle systems with it.

What you can do

  • Engine start test: Trigger the 48V engine start function and verify that the starter motor responds correctly to the signal.
  • Generator test: Simulate the power generation function and assess whether power output is working as intended.
  • Module testing outside the vehicle: Evaluate the module on the test platform, which simplifies diagnosis and replacement.
  • Verify operation before installation: Check a module before fitting rather than after installation in the vehicle.
  • Important: The cable does not perform tests and offers no OBD2 diagnostics; without a test platform and the corresponding procedure, no results are possible.

Compatible vehicles and applications

What matters is the presence of a 48V mild-hybrid start-stop module with the corresponding module connector, not the Audi model. The source does not provide specific model variants or production years; only the vehicle specification is decisive.

Audi:

  • Audi — 48V start-stop module: Passenger vehicles equipped with a 48V mild-hybrid start-stop system (production years depend on specific model and specification).
💡
Good to know: The 48V start-stop module in Audi vehicles is typically located in the engine bay and is accessible via its own module connector. Confirm that the vehicle is genuinely a 48V mild-hybrid specification before ordering.
