Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
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 12 inches 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 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.
