Locating Data Link Connector

•
The Data Link Connector (DLC) is usually located under
the driver's side dash.
•
Refer to user's manual for DLC location.

NOTE: When tool is connected to the vehicle's DLC,
power to the tool comes from the vehicle.

Connect the Tool

1. Locate the OBD II connector under the steering column. If the
connector is not there, a label should be there indicating the
whereabouts of the connector.
2. If necessary, remove the cover from the vehicle connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
4. Plug the OBD II connector attached to the Tool into the vehicle connector.
5. Select Vehicle Diagnostics from Main Menu.
6. Select vehicle.
• Auto ID™ for vehicles model year 2000 and newer. When Auto
ID™ is selected, the tool attempts to retrieve VIN and populate the
tool with Year, Make, Model, and Engine information. If Auto ID™
is unsuccessful, tool will proceed to Manual selection.
• Manual selection for vehicles typically model year 1999 and older.
Use this selection for vehicles that could not previously be Auto ID™.
7. If Quick Test is set to QuickCheck or Read All Codes, review the re-
sults. Quick Test is disabled by default.
