Vehicle Connection
The method used to connect the MaxiFlash Elite to a vehicle’s DLC depends
on the vehicle’s configuration as follows:
 A vehicle equipped with an On-board Diagnostics Two (OBD II)
management system supplies both communication and 12-volt power
through a standardized J-1962 DLC.
 A vehicle not equipped with an OBD II management system supplies
communication through a DLC connection, and in some cases supplies
12-volt power through the cigarette lighter receptacle or a connection to
the vehicle battery.
◎ OBD II Vehicle Connection
This type of connection only requires the main cable without any additional
adapter.
 To connect to an OBD II vehicle
1. Connect the main cable’s female adapter to the Vehicle Data Connector
on the MaxiFlash Elite, and tighten the captive screws.
2. Connect the cable’s 16-pin male adapter to the vehicle’s DLC, which is
generally located under the vehicle dashboard.
NOTE
The vehicle’s DLC is not always located under the dashboard; refer to the user
manual of the test vehicle for additional connection information.
◎ Non-OBD II Vehicle Connection
This type of connection requires both the main cable and a required OBD I
adapter for the specific vehicle being serviced.
There are three possible conditions for Non-OBD II vehicle connection:
 DLC connection supplies both communication and power.
 DLC connection supplies communication and power is to be supplied via
the cigarette lighter connection.
 DLC connection supplies communication and power is to be supplied via
connection to the vehicle battery.
