1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or
the brake tool, read this instruction manual first and
observe the following safety precautions at a minimum
whenever working on a vehicle:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away
from
all moving or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area: Exhaust
gases
are poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the
vehicle
unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components
create hazardous voltage when the engine is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/
electrical
fires nearby.
Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition
is on or the engine is running.
Keep the brake tool dry, clean, and free from oil/water or
grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the
outside of the brake tool, when necessary.

2. Location of Data Link Connector
(DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is
the standardized 16-pin connector where diagnostic brake tools
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 indicate the 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.
