3 Tool Setup
3.1 Connection
1) Turn the ignition off.
2) Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
The DLC (Data Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity
connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the
vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12
inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under
or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link
Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be
there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles,
the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be
removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found,
refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

3) Plug the OBDII cable into the vehicle’s DLC.
4) Turn the ignition on. Engine can be off or running.
