Connecting The Scan Tool
To diagnose a vehicle, connect the DLC cable to the vehicle’s DLC.
Refer to “Data Link Connector (DLC)” on page 2-8 of Getting
Started.
If you just want to power up the tool to do self-tests, code lookup, review
or printing data from the last vehicle tested, then you do not need to
attach the cable to the DLC. The internal battery provides power for this
.
