The universal Adapter Cable is designed to establish a connection between the diagnostic ports of commercial and work vehicles and a standard 16-pin OBD2 reader. This cable features a Y-splitter with both a 6-pin J1708 and a 9-pin J1939 connector on the vehicle side. This makes the cable suitable for a wide range of heavy vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and agricultural machines.

The dual connector setup allows reading both older vehicles using the J1708 protocol and newer vehicles with the J1939 CAN-bus system with a single adapter. The robust construction and standardized connectors ensure stable data transfer during diagnostic tasks, such as reading fault codes and viewing live data.


Application and functionality:

This Adapter Cable is used to connect diagnostic equipment with a 16-pin OBD2 connection to the specific diagnostic ports of heavy commercial vehicles.

  • Diagnostic connection: Enables reading fault codes (DTCs), monitoring live sensor data, and performing other diagnostic functions on vehicles with a J1708 or J1939 port.
  • Dual compatibility: The Y-design offers both a 6-pin and a 9-pin connector, eliminating the need for two separate adapters.
  • Protocol support: Suitable for connecting to vehicles communicating via the J1708 and J1939 protocols, the most common standards in the heavy vehicle industry.

Compatible vehicles and Application:

This universal Adapter Cable is suitable for a wide range of heavy and commercial vehicle brands equipped with a 6-pin J1708 or 9-pin J1939 diagnostic port. Compatibility depends on the protocol used and not on a specific model.

Common compatible brands include:

  • Caterpillar
  • Cummins
  • DAF
  • Freightliner
  • International
  • Iveco
  • John Deere
  • Kenworth
  • Mack
  • MAN
  • Mercedes-Benz Trucks
  • Peterbilt
  • Renault Trucks
  • Scania
  • Volvo Trucks
  • Western Star

Important: Before purchasing the product, always check the connection of your vehicle. This may vary by model and year of manufacture.
