The OBDSTAR M071 is the adapter cable for the 6-pin diagnostic connector on Tohatsu outboard motors. On the other end is a 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) connector for your OBDSTAR device. At the engine side, the cable connects to the factory diagnostic port of the motor.

Tohatsu uses a proprietary 6-pin connector on these engines instead of a standard port. The housings of both connectors are mechanically keyed, preventing incorrect connection — practical in the confined space of an engine bay. The cable gives the diagnostic software of your connected OBDSTAR device direct access to the engine's electronic systems. Which diagnostic functions you can perform depends on your device and its associated software licence; the cable itself adds no coverage.

KEY BENEFITS

Direct to the 6-pin engine port — no intermediate adapters or loose wiring needed between engine and device.
Mechanically keyed connectors — on both ends, the design prevents the cable being connected incorrectly or at an angle.
Correct pin assignment for Tohatsu — the wiring is matched to these engines, so signals reach your device unaltered.
Usable on board — the cable makes the factory diagnostic port accessible without any modification to the engine.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Tohatsu only — even if an engine from another manufacturer has a similar 6-pin connector, this cable is not intended for it.
Check the part number — OBDSTAR supplies several cables for Tohatsu, including a version for the 18-pin ECU port; verify which connector your engine has.
Tied to OBDSTAR equipment — diagnostic systems from other manufacturers will not work with this cable.
No additional coverage — the available functions are determined by the connected OBDSTAR device and software licence, not by the cable.

Applications and functionality

Through the 6-pin port you access the engine management system of the outboard motor.

Control units you can reach

  • Engine management system: The electronic engine systems of the Tohatsu motor where the 6-pin diagnostic connector is located.
  • Other modules: Whether additional units are accessible varies depending on the motor and device.

What you can do

  • Read fault codes: Retrieve stored and active diagnostic trouble codes from the engine management system and display them on the device.
  • Clear fault codes: Remove stored codes after diagnosis and repair.
  • Read live data: Monitor current engine parameters such as engine speed, temperature and sensor readings in real time.
  • Establish connection: The cable converts the 6-pin motor port to the OBD2 format that the device expects.
  • Please note: The available diagnostic functions depend on the connected OBDSTAR device and its associated software licence.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The determining factor is the 6-pin diagnostic connector, not the engine model. Compatibility is based on application data specified by OBDSTAR for this cable; specific models with model years are not listed.

  • Tohatsu: Outboard motors with 6-pin diagnostic connector — consult the OBDSTAR compatibility list for specific motor models and model years.
💡
Good to know: The 6-pin diagnostic port on Tohatsu outboard motors is typically located in the engine cover, near the engine management system wiring; refer to the motor manual for the exact location. Check the number of pins on the connector in the engine cover before ordering.
