Jaltest JDC608A — Honda Marine Diagnostics Cable

The JDC608A is a genuine Cojali Jaltest diagnostic cable designed to connect Honda marine engines to the Jaltest marine diagnostic platform. Honda is a major player in both outboard and inboard marine power, known for reliable four-stroke engines used in everything from small fishing boats to larger offshore vessels. The JDC608A is the physical cable that enables Jaltest diagnostic software to communicate with Honda marine ECUs.

Listed in the official Jaltest 2025 pricelist at $70 MSRP, the JDC608A is included in both the Boat Cable Kit (70002008) and the Outboard Cable Kit (70002010). This cable works in conjunction with the Jaltest OBD II cable (JDC213M3) or the V9 Interface Link Adapter cable (JDC213.9) — it is an adapter cable, not a standalone connection.

What This Cable Does

The JDC608A adapts the Honda marine diagnostic port to interface with the Jaltest system, enabling:

• Fault code reading and clearing — access stored and active DTCs from Honda marine engine ECUs
• Live data monitoring — view engine speed, fuel system data, temperature, throttle position, and other parameters in real time
• Marine diagnostic functions available within the Jaltest Marine outboard software module

Important: How This Cable Connects

The JDC608A works with either:

• Jaltest OBD II Cable (JDC213M3), or
• V9 Interface Link Adapter Cable (JDC213.9)

You connect the JDC608A between the Honda diagnostic port and one of the above interface cables. The JDC213.9 is the standard OBD cable included with Jaltest Link V9 kits. If you already have the OBD cable, you are set.

The JDC608A is included in:

• Boat Cable Kit — Part Number 70002008 ($880 MSRP)
• Outboard Cable Kit — Part Number 70002010 ($475 MSRP)

Who Needs This Cable

Marine service shops and independent technicians who service Honda marine outboard engines and run the Jaltest Marine platform. Honda outboards are extremely common — if you are doing marine service at any volume, Honda engines will come through your shop regularly. The JDC608A keeps you from having to reach for a separate single-brand tool when Honda is on the lift.
