Setup and Connection
Follow these steps to properly connect the DLC Main Cable to your TECH2 Scanner and the vehicle:

- Connect to TECH2 Scanner: Carefully insert the appropriate end of the DLC Main Cable into the designated port on your TECH2 Scanner. Ensure a secure and firm connection.
- Locate Vehicle OBD-II Port: The vehicle's OBD-II port is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual if you have difficulty locating it.
- Connect to Vehicle: Plug the DLC end of the cable into the vehicle's OBD-II port. Ensure it clicks into place, indicating a secure connection.
- Power On: Once both ends are securely connected, power on your TECH2 Scanner according to its operating instructions.
Note: Always ensure the TECH2 Scanner and vehicle are powered off before connecting or disconnecting the cable to prevent potential damage to either device.
Operating Instructions
This cable facilitates communication between your TECH2 Scanner and the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system. Once connected as described in the "Setup and Connection" section, operate your TECH2 Scanner as per its specific user manual to perform diagnostic functions.
- Diagnostic Communication: The cable enables the TECH2 Scanner to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), view live data streams, perform bi-directional controls, and conduct various system tests on compatible vehicles.
- Software Interaction: All diagnostic operations are controlled through the TECH2 Scanner's software interface. Refer to your TECH2 Scanner's documentation for detailed instructions on navigating menus and executing diagnostic routines.
- Data Transfer: The cable ensures stable and reliable data transfer between the vehicle's Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and the TECH2 Scanner.
Important: Do not bend or crimp the cable excessively during operation, as this may damage internal wiring and affect performance.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care extends the life of your DLC Main Cable:
- Cleaning: Wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks and damage.
- Handling: Always grasp the connectors when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling on the cable itself, as this can strain the internal wires and connections.
