Diagnostic Connector
1. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket: It provides standard 16 pins and is generally located on driver’s side, about 12 inch away
from the center of dashboard. See Figure DLC Location. If DLC is not equipped under dashboard, a label indicating
its position will be given. In case no DLC is found, please refer to Automobile Repair Manual;
2. Plug the connector into the vehicle's DLC(It is suggested to use the OBD II extension cable to connect the DLC and the
connector). For vehicles with non-16PIN DLC, please choose the desired connector. Normally the power indicator of
diagnostic connector will light up.
Note: Remember to remove the
diagnostic connector from the DLC
if it keeps unattended.
