1. Make sure that the vehicle battery voltage is 11-36Volts and the ignition switch is turned 

OFF.

2. Locate vehicle’s DLC: The DLC (Data Link Connector) is typically a connector where 

diagnostic tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. For commercial vehicles, 
it is generally located in the driver's cab. 

If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the exact location.

3. Follow either of the following ways to make connection.

A. If the tool is testing a vehicle equipped with OBD II DLC, please use the VCI extension 

cable to connect the VCI device to the vehicle’s DLC port directly.
