Scan Tool Ports
From the Left to Right, the Scan Tool has a 15 Pin connector, a 9-
Pin connector, a power port, and two banana jack inputs. The 15-pin
connector is where the J1962 ODBII Cable is connected to the Scan
Tool. The 9-Pin connector is a serial port used to connect to a PC for
software updates. The power port is used when updating software. The
Banana Jacks are used by the optional multimeter function.
Connecting the Scan Tool
Plug the OBD II cable into the big
connector under the dash near the
steering wheel. (Location varies from
vehicle to vehicle.) To view data from
the vehicles on board computers the
key must be in the on position, or the
engine must be running.
