diagnostic plugs?

What are these, diagnostic plugs?
one on right (jpass) side:


and another on left (drivers side):



Could they be useful to regular DIY mechanic without professional scan tools?

the one on the passenger side is just the plug for the cruise control motor, that you don't have.

the one on the driver side is a diagnostic port, see here for a way to use it.

I think you only get blink-codes if you have 951 as it's generated by KLR. Here's tutorial to build your own blink-code flasher. led blink code tester

So they don't have anything to diagnose the basic 944 with the 8V & 16V N/A models???

Nope, won’t give you any info on NA models. If you look at wiring-diagram, test-port signal is connected to KLR boost/ignition box on 951s only. Here's list of blink-codes and their meaning. It's ALL related to boost-control functions. https://members.rennlist.com/951_racerx/TestSocketBlinkCodes.html


Best diagnostic tools are multimeter, oscilloscope and vacuum gauge. Can diagnose and fix ALL problems with those.
