This jiatel adapter cable is the perfect solution for diagnosing your Tesla. It connects any standard 16-pin OBD2 diagnostic scanner to specific Model S and Model X vehicles equipped with the proprietary 20-pin diagnostic port. Engineered for a precise fit and reliable connection, this cable is essential for owners and specialized EV mechanics.
The Essential Link for Your Tesla’s Diagnostic System
Tesla vehicles do not have a standard OBD2 port. Instead, many facelift Model S and Model X vehicles from September 2015 to 2020 use a proprietary 20-pin diagnostic connector. Our jiatel 20-pin to 16-pin adapter cable solves this problem. It lets you use your existing OBD2 scanner and apps like ScanMyTesla to access crucial data from your vehicle. As a result, this vital tool allows you to monitor battery health, read CAN bus data, and perform other diagnostics.

Key Specifications
FAQ
Q1: Where is the 20-pin diagnostic port on my Tesla? A1: The diagnostic port is typically a blue connector located behind the Media Control Unit (MCU), under a removable panel or cubby in the center console. You will need to carefully remove the panel to access it.
Q2: What kind of diagnostic data can I access? A2: This cable allows access to the vehicle’s internal CAN bus. With compatible software (e.g., ScanMyTesla), you can monitor battery pack health, cell voltages, charging data, and other EV-specific information. It does not provide standard emissions data like on a gasoline car.
Q3: Can this cable damage my Tesla’s electronics? A3: We manufacture our cables to professional standards with high-quality materials. This ensures a safe and stable connection, minimizing any risk to your vehicle’s sensitive electronic control units.
