Software Marine Gasoline Engines

Jaltest Marine Gasoline Engines Software Activation

The Jaltest Marine Gasoline Engines Software Activation (,995) adds dedicated marine gasoline engine diagnostic coverage to the Jaltest Marine platform. This module targets the large segment of marine power — sterndrive gasoline engines, inboard gasoline applications, and gas-powered outboards — where electronic fuel injection, ignition management, and emissions system faults require genuine software-level diagnostics rather than basic code readers. For marine shops where carbureted engines have largely given way to EFI platforms from Mercury, Mercruiser, and Volvo Penta gasoline variants, this is the module that covers that work.

This license requires the Jaltest Marine hardware kit (part 70001023, ,490 MSRP) for use. Software and hardware are purchased separately.

What Marine Gasoline Engine Coverage Addresses

• Gasoline EFI systems — electronic fuel injection diagnostics, fuel trim data, injector testing, fuel pressure monitoring through live data
• Ignition management — ignition timing, misfire detection, spark-related fault codes
• Throttle-by-wire / drive-by-wire systems — electronic throttle management systems common on modern marine gasoline platforms
• Emissions system diagnostics — catalyst monitoring, oxygen sensor data on CARB/EPA-compliant marine gasoline engines
• Fault code access across gasoline marine ECU platforms — full read, interpret, and clear capability

Compatible Cable Sets

Marine gasoline engine diagnostics require brand-specific cables. The Jaltest Boat Cable Kit (70002008, 80) covers the primary gasoline marine engine brands:

• Mercury/Mercruiser gasoline: JDC603A (4-pin), JDC604.9 (10-pin), JDC614A9 (2-pin), JDC617A (DTS), JDC611A (OBD-M)
• Volvo Penta gasoline: JDC527A (6-pin), JDC618A9 (KAD/KAMD/TAMD A9), JDC611A
• Yamaha gasoline outboard: JDC601A
• Honda marine gasoline: JDC608A
• Suzuki marine gasoline: JDC613A (8-pin), JDC616A (4-pin)
• Evinrude gasoline: JDC609.9

Who Needs This

Marine service shops that work on gasoline-powered sterndrives, inboards, and outboards. The shift to EFI in virtually all modern marine gasoline engines means that proper diagnostics requires ECU-level access — you cannot read a misfire fault or an O2 sensor code with a spark tester. Shops servicing Mercury MerCruiser sterndrives, Volvo Penta IPS and DPS gasoline drives, and EFI outboards from Yamaha, Honda, and Suzuki will use this module regularly.

Module vs. Full Marine Activation

The Gasoline Engines module at ,995 covers the gasoline-specific diagnostic capabilities. If your shop also services diesel inboards, outboards across all fuel types, and personal watercraft, the Marine Full activation at ,645 is more cost-effective than combining multiple individual modules. Call us and we can work through which combination makes sense for your customer base.
