If the DLC connection does not supply power to
the scan tool, connection to the cigarette lighter
receptacle will be needed. Please follow these
steps:
1. Connect the cigarette lighter with the scan
tool.

to the Scan Tool
2. Connect the cable’s power plug into the
vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle.

Cigarette Lighter Receptacle
NOTE: The vehicle’s DLC is not always
located under the dash as shown above.
NOTE: Some adapters may have more than
one adapter or may have test leads instead of
an adapter. Whatever the case, make the
required connections to the vehicle’s DLC.
If the cigarette lighter connection does not provide
power either, connection to the vehicle’s battery is
necessary. Follow these steps:
1. Connect the cigarette lighter to the clipper
cable.
Figure 3.9: Connection between
Cigarette Lighter and Clipper Cable
2. Connect the clipper cable to the vehicle’s
battery.
NOTE: The vehicle’s battery is usually
located beside the engine.
NOTE: Please connect the red clipper to the
anode and the black clipper to the cathode.
WARNING: The clippers might be hot after
use. Be careful not to be burnt.
You can conveniently obtain power supply
through power adaptor connection to the scan tool
if any power socket is within reach.
