Launchf Creader VIII User Manual

1Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized
16-cavity 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 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.
