INTRODUCTION
1996 and newer light-duty vehicles are equipped with second
generation onboard diagnostic (OBDII) systems. All vehicles with
OBDII systems have a standardized diagnostic link connector (DLC).
Technicians can connect a scan-tool to the DLC and download
information from the OBDII system. On most vehicles, the DLC is
below the steering column in an easy to access location.
Typical DLC Location
On some vehicles, however, the DLC is not real easy to find. This
manual shows you how to find hard to locate DLCs. It contains
pictures showing the location of DLCs and text describing additional
impediments (covers, ashtrays, etc.) that stand between you and the
DLC.
