2. Location of Data Link Connector (DLC)

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the
standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic brake tools
interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually
located 12 inches from the centre 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.
