Step 2: Connect the Cable
The method used to connect the NGIS tool to a vehi-
cle’s electronic control unit (ECU) depends on the
vehicle’s configuration as follows:
• A vehicle equipped with an On Board Diagnostics Two
(OBD II) vehicle management system supplies both com-
munication and 12-volt power through a standardized
J-1962 data link connection (DLC).
• A vehicle not equipped with an OBD II system supplies
communication through a DLC connection and supplies
12-volt power through the cigarette lighter receptacle or
a connection to the battery.
Note: Both connections described above charge the NGIS
tool’s battery while connected.
OBD II Vehicle Cable Connection
This type of connection generally requires the System
Smart 25-pin cable (3305-73) and a System Smart
Insert (SSI).
Note: For a description of the cables, refer to “ Cables ” on
page 3 .
To connect the System Smart 25-pin cable, follow these
steps:
Figure 2.7: SSI and System Smart 25-pin Cable
1 Locate the required SSI and insert it into the port on the
top of the cable’s 25-pin connector.
