CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The data link connector (DLC) provides operating power for the scan tool at terminal 16 (battery positive voltage) and at terminal 4 (ground). The DLC provides the class 2 serial data signal at terminal 2 and the signal ground at terminal 5. The scan tool will power up with the ignition off.
