4.3 Diagnosis Methods
There are two kinds of methods available for the tablet to communicate with the
VCI: Wi-Fi and data cable.
*Notes:
y To obtain stable communication, you are strongly recommended to perform the
vehicle diagnosis via USB cable. In this case, the USB cable is required to connect
the VCI and the tablet.

4.4.2 DLC location
The DLC (Data Link Connector) is typically a standard 16 pin connector where
diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The
DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash),
under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. 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. If the DLC cannot be found,
refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.
