Safety Precautions
!
Important Safe ty Instru ct ion s
Risk of electric shoc k.
• Do not exceed volt age limits between inputs as indicated
in the “Specifi cations” on page 3-2.
• Use extre me caution when worki ng with circuit s that have
greater than 60 volts DC or 24 volts AC.
Electric shock can cause injury .
Risk of explosion.
• Wear safety goggles and protective clothing, user and
bystan der. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• Do not use this system in environments where explosive
vapor may collect, such as i n below-ground pits , confined
areas, or area s that are less than 18 inches above t he floor .
• Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour.
• Flammable fuel and vapors can ignite.
• Do not smoke, stri ke a match, or cause a spark in the vicinity of the battery. Battery gases can ignite.
• Avoid making accidental connection between battery terminals. Do not place uninsula ted m etal tools on the battery.
• When removing battery cabl es, remove ground cable firs t.
• Avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting power
leads to battery.
• Be sure ignition is OFF, headlight s and other accessori es
are OFF and vehicle doors are closed before disconnecting battery cables. Thi s also helps prevent damage to
on-board computer systems.
• Always disconnect batt ery ground connections before
servicing electrical system components.
Explosion can cause injury.
WAR NI NG
!
Risk of poisoning.
• Use this equipment in locations with mechanical ventilation providing at least four air changes per hour. Engine
exhaust contains odorless lethal gas.
• Route exhaust outside while testing with engine running.
Poisoning can result in death or serious injury.
!
WARNING
Battery acid is a highl y corrosive sulfuric acid.
• Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, user and
bystan der. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• Make sure someone can hear you or is close enough to
provide aid when working near a battery.
• Have plenty of fresh wat er and soap nearby . If battery aci d
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes, flush exposed area with

jumper wire or tools.
Improper equipment use can cause equipment or circuit damage.
Misdiagnosis may lead to incorrect or improper repair and/or
adjustment.
Do not rely on errati c, questionable, or ob viously erroneous
test informati on or result s. If test in formation or re sults ar e
erratic, questionable, or obviously erroneous, make sure
that all connectio ns and da ta e ntr y infor mation are corr ect
and that the test proc edure was perform ed correctly . If test
information or resul ts ar e sti ll su spicious , do not use them
for diagnosis.
Improper repair and/or adjustment may cause vehicle or equipment damage or unsafe operation.
Some vehicles are equi pped wit h air bags. You must follow

The original on-board diagnostics (OBD I) lacked consistency in communication and interfac e while allowin g different interpr etations am ongst vehicle m anufacturers. For d and Chr ysler used different types of engine cont rol comput ers
and data link conn ectors, and GM varied the tr ouble codes and communicat ion
protocols from year-to-year.
The tables belo w highl ight changes for GM, Ford, and Chrysl er. If this seems
confusing; d on’t worry. Your tool makes it easy. Based on the VI N information
selected during Scan Tool setup, the processor is aut omatically recogni zed. All
you have to do is choose the correct adapter cable and jumper wires (if necessary). Details on adapter cables and jumper wires may be found in “Diag-
nostic Link Connectors (DLC)” on page 2-3.

Getting Started
OBD II stands for O n-Boar d Diagnos tics ver sion I I. OBD I I is a syste m tha t the
Society of Autom otive Engineers (SAE) dev eloped to standardize automotive
electronic diagnosis. Technicians now can use the same tool to test any OBD
II compliant vehic les without special adapt ers. The SAE establish ed guidelines
that provide:
• a universal diagnostic test connector, c alled the data link connector (DLC),
with dedicated pin assi gnm ents.
• a standardized location for the DLC, visible under the dash on the driver’s
side.
• a standa rdi zed list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used by all manufacturers.
• a standardized list of parameter identification (PID) data used by all manufacturers.
• the ability of the vehicle system to recor d a freeze frame of the operati ng conditions when a fault occurs.
• expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a condition
occurs that ef fects vehicle emissions.
• the ability to clear stored codes from vehicle memory with the scan tool.
In addition, SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a stan dard
communications protocol that establishes the hardware, software, and cir cuit
parameters of OBD II systems. Unfortunately , vehicle manufacturers have different interpr etations of this standard comm unications prot ocol. As a result, the
generic OBD II communic ations scheme us ed will vary, depending on t he vehicle.
SAE publishes r ecom m endations, not laws, bu t t he Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) made many of
SAE’s recommenda ti ons legal requirements that vehicle manufacturers were
required to phase in over a three-year period. Beginni ng in 1994, vehicle s with
a new engine m anagement c omputer – about 1 0% of ea ch manufact urers fl eet
– were supposed to comply with O BD II standards. For 1995, OBD II systems
were to appear on about 40% of t he new vehic les sold in t he USA. Some of the
1994-1995 OBD II systems were not fully compliant, so the Government
granted waivers to give manufacturers time to fine-tune their systems. Beginning in 1996, m ost of the new vehicles sold in the USA were fully OBD II compliant.

DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTORS (DLC)
The Data Link Connector (DLC) allows the scan to ol to communicate wit h the
vehicle’ s com puter(s). Before OBD II, manufactur ers used different data link
connectors to communicate with the vehicle. The proper DLC adapter cable
must be used to connect the tool to the ve hicle. Also , the vehi cle’s DLC may be
found in several different places and have many different configurations. The
following descri bes the DLCs used by Ford, GM and Chrysl er. The DLC lo cation
and types for domestic vehicles can be looked up in the charts in “Appendix
A - Data Link Connectors".
OBD II (J1962)
Beginning in 1996, vehicl es sold in
the United States use the J1962
(OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a
physical and el ectrical speci fication
number assigned by SAE (J1962).
The DLC should be located under

Because the OBD II J196 2 conn ector ha s power and ground , yo u only need a

Attach the OBD II adapter cable to the extender cabl e, both supplied with the

DB9M (9-pin D-shape male) connector to interface with a compatibl e serial
printer.
Compatible Printers
The printer must have a ser ial RS- 232 inte rface c ircui t and be comp at ible wit h
the Epson FX format. The following printers are recommended:
