06 How To Use

6.1 Data Link Connector (DLC) Location

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is typically a 16-pin connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle's onboard computer. The DLC is usually located within 12 inches of the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver's side for most vehicles. If the Data Link Connector is not located under the dashboard, a label should indicate its 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 its location.

Usually, the OBD port is located under the dashboard, above the pedal on the driver's side. The image shows common OBDII port locations.
