Connection Procedure
- Locate the vehicle's Security Gateway Module (SGM/SGW).
- Disconnect the original 12-pin and 8-pin connectors from the SGM/SGW.
- Connect the male end of the PARANNIC 12-pin extension cable to the vehicle's 12-pin female connector.
- Connect the female end of the PARANNIC 12-pin extension cable to the 12-pin port on the SGM/SGW.
- Connect the male end of the PARANNIC 8-pin extension cable to the vehicle's 8-pin female connector.
- Connect the female end of the PARANNIC 8-pin extension cable to the 8-pin port on the SGM/SGW.
- Ensure all connections are secure. The extension cables now provide an accessible point for your diagnostic scanner to bypass the SGM/SGW.

- Refer to your diagnostic scanner's user manual for specific operation procedures.
- The cable is designed for diagnostic purposes and should not interfere with normal vehicle operation when installed correctly.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Keep the cable connectors clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the connectors if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
