5 How to diagnose
5.1 Connections
5.1.1 Preparation
Normal testing conditions
Turn on the vehicle power supply.•
Vehicle battery voltage range should be 9-14V and working voltage•
of MAXIMUS2.0 is 5V.
Throttle should be closed at its close position.•
Ignition timing and idle speed should be within specified range;•
water and transmission oil temperature are within normal working
range (water temperature is 90-110℃and transmission oil
temperature is 50-80℃).
Select testing connectors
If MAXIMUS2.0 is testing vehicles equipped with universal OBD II 16
PIN diagnostic socket, please use the included diagnostic connector.
(For vehicles with non-OBD II 16 PIN diagnostic socket, a non-16 PIN
connector is required.)
5.1.2 DLC Location
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic 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

5.1.3 Vehicle Connection
The method used to connect the diagnostic connector to a vehicle’s
DLC depends on the vehicle’s configuration as follows:
A vehicle equipped with an OBD II management system supplies•
both communication and 12V power through a standardized DLC.
A vehicle not equipped with an OBD II management system•
supplies communication through a DLC connection, and in some
cases supplies 12V power through the cigarette lighter receptacle
or a connection to the vehicle battery.
Follow the steps mentioned below to connect OBD II vehicle:
Locate vehicle’s DLC socket.1.
Plug the diagnostic connector into the vehicle’s DLC socket (It2.
is suggested to use the OBD II extension cable to connect the
diagnostic connector and DLC socket.).
Choose one of the two ways to obtain power from:3.
A. Power adaptor: connect one end of the included power adaptor
to Power interface of MAXIMUS2.0 display tablet, and the other
end to AC outlet.
B. Internal battery pack: For details on how to recharge
MAXIMUS2.0, see “Chapter 3.1 Charging MAXIMUS2.0”.
For non-OBDII vehicle, proceed as follows:
Locate vehicle’s DLC socket.1.
Select the corresponding non-16pin connector.2.
Plug the non-16pin end of the connector into the DLC socket, then3.
connect the other end to the OBD I adaptor, and then tighten the
captive screws.
Connect the other end of the adaptor to the included diagnostic4.
connector.
To supply power to OBD I adaptor from:5.
A. Cigaretter Lighter: Connect one end of the cigarette lighter cable
to vehicle’s cigaratte lighter receptacle, and the other end to the
power jack of OBDI adaptor.
