You can fix a broken 16-pin plug on a Launch DBScar by replacing the OBD2 cable. A replacement OBD2 cable is available for the Launch DBScar VII, which connects the VCI to the vehicle's OBD DLC socket. The replacement cable has a DB-15 female connector on one end and an OBD-16 pin male connector on the other. To replace it, purchase the correct cable and swap it with the damaged one.
