The OBDSTAR M079 is an adapter cable that converts an MTU 10-pin diagnostic connector to a 16-pin OBD2 port (J1962). The cable is designed for use with MTU marine engines and enables connection of OBDSTAR diagnostic and programming equipment to engines that do not have a standard OBD2 port. The connector on the engine side is a round 10-pin MTU plug, while the other end has a standard 16-pin OBD2 connector.

The adapter cable electrically converts the pin configuration of the MTU 10-pin connector to the corresponding pins of the OBD2 interface, so the communication protocols used by the MTU engine are correctly transmitted to the connected diagnostic device. This allows the diagnostic technician to communicate with the engine control unit (ECU) of the MTU engine via the OBDSTAR reader or programmer. The cable functions solely as a passive pin-to-pin connection and contains no active electronics.

ADVANTAGES

Enables direct connection to MTU engines with a 10-pin diagnostic port without modifications to the vessel's wiring.
The passive electrical connection introduces no signal distortion or additional latency in the communication with the ECU.
Specifically designed for MTU marine engines, ensuring the pin configuration precisely matches the required diagnostic communication.

KEY POINTS

Only compatible with OBDSTAR readers and programmers; not usable with diagnostic equipment from other brands.
Not suitable for vehicles or engines with a connector configuration other than the MTU 10-pin connector.
The available diagnostic functions are determined by the connected OBDSTAR device and the supported MTU protocols within the associated software.

Applications and functionalities

The OBDSTAR M079 Adapter Cable enables the following diagnostic applications on MTU motorboat engines via compatible OBDSTAR equipment:

  • Read fault codes: Retrieve stored and active fault codes from the engine control unit (ECU) of MTU engines for engine problem diagnosis.
  • Clear fault codes: Remove fault codes from the ECU memory after performing repairs or maintenance on the engine.
  • Display live data: Read real-time engine parameters such as RPM, temperature, and pressure values via the MTU 10-pin diagnostic port.
  • Establish ECU communication: Connect OBDSTAR diagnostic equipment to the MTU engine control unit via the converted OBD2 interface.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The compatibility below is based on the use of the MTU 10-pin diagnostic connector. Only engines and vessels with this specific connector configuration are supported.

MTU:

  • MTU Motorboat engines with 10-pin diagnostic connector
💡
Good to know: The MTU 10-pin diagnostic port is usually located directly on or near the engine unit. Consult the vessel or engine documentation to determine the exact location before connecting the Adapter Cable.
