Connector) is typically a standard 16-pin connector where
diagnostic code readers interface with a vehicle's on-board
computer. It is usually located 12 inches from the center of
the steering wheel, under or around the driver's side for
most vehicles.
If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle's service
manual for the location.
