4. USING THE SCAN TOOL
4.1.
LOCATION OF THE DLC
4.1.1.
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools
interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 300mm 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 the 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 location.
