OBD II (J1962)
Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in
the United States use the J1962
(OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a
physical and electrical specification
number assigned by SAE (J1962).
The DLC should be located under
the dashboard on the driver side of
the vehicle. If the DLC is not located under the dashboard as stated, a decal
describing its location should be attached to the dashboard in the area the DLC
should have been located.
Because the OBD II J1962 connector has power and ground, you only need a
single cable connection to the tool for both power and tool communications.
Attach the OBD II adapter cable to the extender cable, both supplied with the
tool, to connect the tool. Certain pins in the connector are reserved
.
Ford Historic
Ford used three types of DLCs with their historic (OBD I) systems. Refer to
“Appendix A - Data Link Connectors" for the adapter cable needed for your
vehicle.
Use the Battery Power cable to provide power to the scan tool
for all systems.
