2.6.2 Vehicle Connection
A. For Passenger Vehicles (For Passenger Vehicle Version)
1. Locate the vehicle’s DLC: The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the
standardized 16-cavity 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. 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.
