Note: Before the equipment is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary to judge whether the diagnostic seat of the vehicle is a standard OBD-II interface or a non-standard OBD-II interface.

• The vehicle compatible with OBD-II management system only needs to use the integrated main test line OBD connector to connect with the vehicle diagnosis seat and provide power;
• For vehicles that are not compatible with the OBD-II management system, the corresponding connector should be selected; Some vehicles need to be powered by other vehicle power sources.
• The following is an operation description of these two connection modes.

1. Connection of standard OBD-II interface
   The vehicle connected with standard OBD-II interface only needs to use the integrated main test line OBD connector, and no other connectors are needed, as shown in the figure

2. Connection of non OBD-II interface

Vehicles with non OBD-II interface need to connect the main test line with the corresponding special connector, as shown in the figure:
