1 Foreword
1.1 Introduction
e-VIN Vehicle VIN Inspection Terminal is a professional law enforcement
equipment, which has been developed and designed by LAUNCH for
Police/ forensic research institute to perform VIN enquiries. e-VIN can
read all the electronically embedded Vehicle Identication Numbers (VINs)
from all the parts in modern vehicles. The results can be checked and
compared, to see whether or not the VIN codes are registered as stolen.
The e-VIN will contribute to the investigation of stolen and cloned vehicles,
and minimize the trade in stolen parts.

3 Preparation & Connection
3.1 Preparation
1. Turn the ignition key on.
2. Locate the vehicle’s DLC socket: The DLC (Data Link Connector) is
typically a standard 16-pin connector where diagnostic code readers
interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer.
A. For Passenger Vehicles,
The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument
panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side (See Fig. 3-1 for DLC
location). If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label
should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles,
the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed
to access the connector.
Fig. 3-1
B. For Passenger Vehicles,
The DLC is usually located in driver’s cab.
If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the
location.
3.2 Connections
The method used to connect the main cable to a vehicle’s DLC depends on
the vehicle’s conguration as follows:
A. OBD II Vehicle Connection: Plug one end of the main cable into the
vehicle’s DLC, and the other end into the diagnostic socket of the e-VIN,

and then tighten the captive screws.
B. Non-OBD II Vehicle Connection: For vehicles with non-OBD II diagnostic
socket, a non-16pin adaptor cable is required.
a). For non-OBDII Passenger Vehicle, proceed as follows:
1. Select the non-16pin adaptor cable corresponding to the tested
vehicle.
2. Plug one end of the main cable into the diagnostic socket of the e-VIN,
and the other end to into the OBD I adaptor.
3. Plug the non-16pin end of the adaptor cable into the DLC socket,
and the other end to the OBD I adaptor, and then tighten the captive
screws.
4. To supply power to OBD I adaptor from:
A. Cigarette Lighter Cable: Connect one end of the cigarette lighter cable
to vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle, and the other end to the power
jack of OBD I adaptor.
Fig. 3-2
B. Battery Clamps Cable: Connect one end of the battery clamps cable
to vehicle’s battery, and the other end to the power jack of OBD I adaptor.
