IV. DIAGNOSIS INSTRUCTION
1 CONNECT VCI CONNECTOR
Procedure to connect VCI connector:
1. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket. The DLC (Data
Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector)
is the standardized 16-pin connector where
diagnostic code readers 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, as shown
below. 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.
