Data Link Connector (DLC) Location
The 16-pin DLC is usually
located under the instrument
panel (dash), within 12 inches
(300 mm) of center of the
panel, on the driver's side of
most vehicles. It should be
easily accessible and visible
from a kneeling position
outside the vehicle with the
door open.
On some Asian and European vehicles the DLC is located
behind the "ashtray" (the ashtray must be removed to
access it) or on the far left corner of the dash. If the DLC
cannot be located, consult the vehicle's service manual for
the location.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Locate the battery cover on the back of Code Reader.
2. Lift the battery cover off (use your finger or a small coin).
3. Replace batteries with two AA-size batteries (for longer life, use
Alkaline-type batteries).
4. Reinstall the battery cover on the back of Code Reader.
This tool has an early low battery warning. If a low battery
condition is detected when the Code Reader is turned "On",
the battery icon and the three LEDs will flash every second
for 10 seconds to warn you that it's time to replace the
batteries. It is suggested that you replace the batteries at
this time. The Code Reader will not turn "On" (when
disconnected from a vehicle) if the batteries go dead.
