The OBDSTAR M065 is an adapter cable for the 3-pin diagnostic connector on Evinrude outboard motors. The 3-pin plug connects to the factory diagnostic port on the engine, whilst the other end features a 16-pin OBD2 (J1962)-connector for your diagnostic device.
Evinrude designed its own 3-pin port geometry for its outboard motors. This cable converts that connector to the standard OBD2 pinout that OBDSTAR equipment reads, functioning purely as a passive mechanical and electrical adapter; all signal processing occurs in the connected device. Through this connection, you link the engine management electronics to your diagnostic tool, including E-TEC and similar electronically controlled outboard motors. Which diagnostic functions are available depends on your device and its software support for Evinrude.
KEY BENEFITS
LIMITATIONS
Applications and functionality
Via this connection you can access the engine management of the Evinrude outboard motor.
Control units you can reach
- Engine management: The control unit of the electronically controlled outboard motor behind the 3-pin port.
- Other systems: Whether more than engine management is accessible depends on the motor and your device.
What you can do
- Read fault codes: Retrieve stored and active fault codes from engine management via the 3-pin connection.
- Clear fault codes: Remove fault codes from the engine management system after repair work has been completed.
- Read live engine data: Request real-time parameters such as engine speed, temperature and sensor values.
- Connect to OBDSTAR equipment: Convert the Evinrude 3-pin port to the 16-pin OBD2 interface supported by diagnostic programmers.
- Please note: Which functions you can use depends on the marine coverage of your own device.
Compatible vehicles and applications
The determining factor is the 3-pin diagnostic port, not the engine model. Support is defined at the connection level; specific engine models and model years are not included.
Evinrude:
- E-TEC outboard motors (2-stroke direct injection): (models with 3-pin diagnostic port)
- Evinrude outboard motors with electronic engine management: (models with 3-pin diagnostic connection)
