The OBDSTAR M081 connects the round 8-pin diagnostic connector of MAN marine engines to the 16-pin OBD2 side of your OBDSTAR device. The connector is located on the engine, in the vessel's engine compartment. The cable comes as standard with the MarineMaster C+D and A+B+C+D.

MAN marine engines do not have a standard OBD2 port. With this cable you can reach the engine control module to read fault codes and view live data. Which functions work is determined by the OBDSTAR software for each engine type.

HIGHLIGHTS

✔Provides access to the MAN engine control module for your OBDSTAR device.

✔Enables diagnostics on engines without an OBD2 port.

✔You connect it to the existing diagnostic plug; nothing changes on the engine.

✔The cable is supplied as standard with the MarineMaster C+D and A+B+C+D; if ordered separately, you can replace a lost one with it.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Your reader must support the manufacturer-specific diagnostics of this engine; the cable does not convert protocols.

✕A simple EOBD code reader does not work via this cable; it only reads emission-related OBD2 data from cars.

✕For MAN engines with the 8-pin connector only.

✕OBDSTAR does not provide a list of MAN engine types for this cable; therefore, check the connector on the engine.
