Product Information
This is a standard 16-pin OBD2 male-to-female extension cable, designed to extend the vehicle’s diagnostic port for easier connection of OBD scan tools, eliminating the need to work under the dashboard.It features an additional red alligator clip, which connects directly to the power pin of the OBD2 port. You can use this clip to draw power from an external 12V source (such as a spare battery or jump starter) to supply temporary power to the vehicle’s OBD system during maintenance.
Note: This product is a passive extension and power lead only. It does NOT include a built-in power supply, stabilizer, or ECU memory protection function. Any data protection effect depends entirely on the external backup power source used.
Usage Scenarios
Legacy Vehicle Diagnostics
Bridges the gap between modern OBD2 scanners and the legacy 20-pin rectangular port found in early Kia models.
Overcoming Power Supply Limitations
The battery clip draws power directly from the source, ensuring enough voltage for advanced scanners that require stable 12V.
Restoration & Maintenance
An essential tool for mechanics working on classic Kias like the early Sportage or Sephia for system health checks.
