Location
of
the
Data
Link
Connector
(DLC)
The OLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the
standardized 16-pin 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 the Data Link Connector is not located under the dashboard, a label
should be there revealing its 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.
