Locate vehicle’s DLC: It provides standard 16 pins and is generally located on driver’s side, about 12 inches away from the center of dashboard. See Figure DLC Location. If DLC is not equipped under dashboard, a label indicating its position will be given. In case no DLC is found, please refer to Automobile Repair Manual.

Plug one end of the diagnostic cable into the DB-15 connector of the tool, and tighten the captive screws. Connect the other end to the vehicle’s DLC.

standard OBD-II diagnostic socket. -

4 Start Diagnostics
AutoDetect and manual diagnosis are supported. If the AutoDetect fails, you
can choose to input the VIN manually or exit the AutoDetect session to switch
to manual diagnosis mode.
*Note: If “Automatic detection on connect” in “Settings” is set as ON, this step can be ignored.
