The Car Reader retrieves stored codes and displays I/M Readiness status. Codes are displayed on the Car Reader’s LCD display screen; I/M Readiness status is displayed by LED indicators. Easy To Define ..Locate fault code(s) in the Fault Code Definition list. OBD2...
Code Reader from the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC). To prevent damage to the on-board computer when taking vehicle electrical measurements, always use a digital multimeter with at least 10 megOhms of impedance. The vehicle's battery produces highly flammable hydrogen gas. To prevent an explosion, keep all sparks, heated items and open flames away from the battery.
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. OBD2...
