Question:
I have a Topdon Phoenix Max with the HD subscription and the full set of Topdon HD adapters. Today I encountered a Perkins engine that doesn’t have a standard OBD port. Instead, it uses a 9-pin female connector (similar to an old PC serial port). Is there an adapter that will allow the Topdon Phoenix Max to connect to this Perkins connector?
Answer:
For Perkins engines using the 9-pin Deutsch-style diagnostic connector, there isn’t a specific adapter included in the Topdon Phoenix Max kit that converts directly to that port.
We recommend purchasing on the diagnostic or industrial equipment marketplaces online.
We would also recommend to check the vehicle coverage list to make sure we list coverage for the Perkins engine that you are tying to connect to.
