How to Use

1. Turn your vehicle's ignition off.
2. Locate the 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) — usually found beneath the dashboard on the driver's side.
3. Plug the scanner directly into the DLC. The connector is keyed and will only fit one way.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine).
5. The LCD will display a prompt — press New Scan to begin.
6. The tool will detect the vehicle protocol and display any stored fault codes and live data.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Unplug the scanner after each use. Leaving it connected for extended periods may draw power from the vehicle battery.
• Always start the vehicle before inserting the scanner to protect the internal chip from voltage spikes during engine startup.
• If the scanner fails to connect, verify the ignition is ON, ensure a secure connection to the DLC, and confirm your vehicle is OBD-II compliant.
