Data Link Connector (DLC)

The Data Link Connector (DLC) provides a class 2 data circuit that allows bi-directional communication between the scan tool, the PCM, and other system control modules. Usually located under the instrument panel, the DLC provides power and ground for the scan tool. Some common uses of the scan tool are listed below:
