88890368 Break Out Harness | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta break out harness, part number 88890368, from the Special Tools group. Volvo Penta's own listing names it a break out cable, so expect either name on the packaging. It belongs to the 888 workshop tool series, alongside the diagnostic interfaces and the gearbox break out harnesses that Volvo issues for its service equipment. A break out harness plugs in between a mated pair of connectors and brings the circuits out to accessible test points, so voltages and resistances can be measured with the system connected and live rather than by back-probing or unplugging it. No connector type or system is published against this number, so confirm which connector it breaks out before ordering.
