Operation
Hardware Module: A–01-003 (p.01)
To turn on the VCI module, first connect the main DLC cable from the VCI module to the vehicle DLC
connector and press the main power switch.
If the vehicle DLC is not configured to provide power to the VCI, the cigar power cable must be used.
If needed, the cigar power cable can be connected directly to the vehicle battery by using the battery
extension cable.

WARNING
zDo not use the Power switch of the VCI Module in Flight Record mode.
zIn Flight Record mode, VCI module and Trigger module automatically turn On/Off
depending on IG Key status.
The VCI equipment has an LED display for indicating VCI operating conditions.
Figure 2. LED status on VCI module

Color of LED reflects the active function. Sub LED’s show which function is currently operating on the
VCI module: Normal (diagnosis) or flight record mode.
zGreen: Normal (diagnosis) mode
zRed: for Flight Record mode.
VEH. COMM
The current condition of Vehicle communication to the VCI module can be monitored using this LED.
zThis LED is Green. Note that this LED may flicker during operation.
PC COMM
Communication between PC and VCI is confirmed based on LED color:
zRed color indicates wireless LAN connection and Green indicates USB cable connection.

Trigger module switch operation (Enter / Cancel)
“ENTER” and “CANCEL” Buttons are on the trigger module. In Flight Record mode The VCI module
automatically starts recording data whenever it is switched on and each time the “ENTER” button is
pressed.
zRecorded communication data is stored in the VCI module memory by pressing “ENTER”
function during the Flight Record mode.
zPressing the “CANCEL” button restarts the data recording process.
Trigger module LED (Power / Ready)
Trigger module has two different LED indicators.
zPower LED: Red Indicates DC power is available for VCI module.
zReady LED: Green light displays two different ways. The flickering green light means the
recorded communication data is being stored after pressing the “ENTER” button and the
other normal green light means it is now collecting the data from the ECU.

Installation of VCI Module
and DLC Main Cable
Hardware Module: A–01-004 (p.01)
First, confirm the position of the Data link Connector (DLC).
The location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) may vary depending on the type of vehicle.
zIt is usually installed in the lower instrument panel, on the driver’s side.
zThe DLC may be installed in the engine room. Check for the proper location on each vehicle.

interference with other vehicle equipment.
Figure 3. Example Installation of VCI module
Some GDS features require using the USB cable instead of wireless LAN while communicating
between the Information Terminal and the VCI module.
While installing the USB cable to the VCI module, the USB cable must be tightly connected in order to
avoid communication loss.
When removing the USB cable, press the connector lock tab first, and then disconnect the cable.

Installation of Trigger Module
and Cigar Power Cable
Hardware Module: A–01-005 (p.01)
The Trigger module has two purposes.
When the ignition key is turned to the IG ON position, the trigger module commands the VCI to turn
ON. At that time, the VCI (if configured for flight recording) is ready to store ECU data.
When the ENTER button on the trigger module is pressed, the VCI will start recording vehicle ECU
data.
Cigar jack from the trigger module cable and round connector with 6pins are connected to the vehicle
and the VCI module respectively.

Connect the trigger module to the cigar lighter or vehicle 12V power point. The trigger module should
be secured in a safe location when operating the vehicle to avoid interference with other vehicle
equipment
