TESTER BASICS
Diagnostic Connector and Location
The OBD II Diagnostic Tester communicates with the vehicle's PCM via a
diagnostic link connector (DLC). Part of the specification for OBD II compliance
includes a physical and electrical definition of the DLC. Sometimes the DLC is
referred to as J1962 connector. The term J1962 is taken from a physical and
electrical specification number assigned by SAE (Society of Automotive Engi-
neers). A standardized DLC means all compliant vehicles will use the same DLC
with the generic link information available on the same pins no matter what make
the vehicle is. In addition to the connector definitions, is a guideline on where the
connector is to be located in the vehicle. This guideline states that the DLC
should be located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. Even
with this guideline not all OBD II DLCs are located under the dash on the driver's
side. If you can not locate the DLC see the vehicle service documentation for its
location. The OBD II J1962 connector is also mandated to supply power and
ground for test equipment.
