1) Quick Start Installation
1.
Locate the Diagnostic Connector
The connector is generally located under
the dash at the fire wall on the driver
side and is usually protected by a plastic
cover. To remove the protective cover,
you must push the cover while turning
counter clockwise, then pull to remove it.
2.
Determine Plug Type
The universal plug
included with your
ScanGauge is compatible
with both the J1939 (9pin)
and J1708 (6-pin)
diagnostic port. Match the
end of the plug to the
connector, but do not plug
it in at THIS time.
3.
Locate a Place For The ScanGauge.
You can use the sticky-back Velcro
®
supplied with the ScanGauge to attach it to the
location you have chosen.
DO NOT mount the ScanGauge over an air bag cover where it could be
propelled by a deploying airbag.
4.
Route The Cable.
Route the cable from the ScanGauge to your vehicle’s diagnostic connector. Be sure
Keep the cord from interfering with the pedals or operating controls of the vehicle.
