 The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The OLC 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.

+.2 Diag nostic Trouble Codes (DTes)
+OBO 11 Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on--board
+computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle, Thesc
+codes identify a particular problcm area and arc intcnded to provide you with a
+guidc as to where a fault might be occurri ng within a vehicle. OBD II Diagnostic
+Troublc Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code, The frrst character, a
+letter, idcntifies which control system sets the code, The other four characters, all
+numbers, provide additional information on where thc DTe originated and the
+operating conditions that caused it to set, Herc below is an examplc to illustratc
+the structure of the digits:

+.3 OSDU Monitor Readiness Status
+OBOn systems must indicate whct hc:..T or not the vehicle· s PCM, s monitor
+system has completed testing on each componcnt. Components that havc been
+tested will be reported as "Ready", or ;'Complete" , meaning they have been
+tested by the OBD 11 system. The purposc of recording readiness status is to allow
+inspectors to determine if the vehicle· s OBD II system has tested all the
+components and/or systems.
+Thc power train control module (PCM) sets a monitor to "Ready" or "Completc"
+after an appropriatc drive cyclc has been performed. The drive cycle that enables a
+monitor and sets readiness codes to "Ready" varies for each individual monitor.
+Once a monitor is set as "Ready" or ··Complete". it will remain in this statc. A
+number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic troublc codes (DTCs) with a
+scan tool , can result in Readiness Monitors being set to "Not Ready" . Since the
+three continuous monitors arc cons tantly eva luating, they will be reported as
+;'Ready" all of the lime. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous
+monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported as "Not
+Complete " or .. Not Ready ..
+In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be
+driven under a varicty of normal operating conditions. These operating conditions
+may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, c ity type driving, and at
+least one ovcrnight-ofTpcriod, For specific information on getting your vehicle·
+s OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner· s manual.

+.4 OSD U Definitions
+Power train Control Module (rCM) OBO II terminology for the on-board
+computer that controls engine and drive train.
+Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Servicc
+Enginc Soon, Check Engine) is a teon used for the light on the instrument panel. It
+is to alert the driver andlor the repair techn ician that there is a problem with one or
+morc of vehicle's systems and may cause emiss ions to exceed federal standards. If
+the MIL illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem has becn
+detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. Under certain
+conditions, the dashboard light will blink or flash. This indicates a severe problem
+and flashing is intended to discourage vehicle operation. The vehicle on board
+diagnostic system can not tum the MIL ofT until the necessary repairs arc
+completed or the condition no longer exists.
+DTC ··Oiagnostic Trouble Codes COTC) that identify which section of the
+emission control system has mnlfunetioned.
+Enabling Criteria •• Also termed Enabling Conditions. They arc the
+vehicle-specific events or condi tions that must occur within the engi ne before the
+various monitors will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to follow a
+prescribed "drive cycle" routine as part of the enabl ing criteria. Drive cycles vary
+among vchicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle.
+OBO II Drive Cycle - - A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides
+conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle to
+the "ready" condition. The purpose of completing an OBO II drive cycle is to
+force the vehicle to run its on board diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs
+to be performed after OTCs have been erased from the PCM's memory. Running
+through a vehicle's complete drive cycle will "set" the readiness monitors so that
+fu ture faults enn be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehic le and the
+monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult the
+vehicle's Owner's Manual.
+Freeze Frame Data -·When an emissions related fau lt occurs, the OBO II system
+not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameter
+to help in identifying the problem. This set of values is referred to as Freeze Frame
+Data and may includc t engi ne parameters such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, air
+flow, engine lond, fuel pressure, fuel trim va lue, engine coolant s, ignition timing

+.5 Vehic le Coverage
+The KONNWEI KW310 OBDlIlEOBO Scanner is specially designed to work
+with all OBO II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with the
+next-generation protocol -Control Area Network (CAN). It is required by
+EPA that all 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United
+States must be OBO II compliant and this includes all Domestic, Asian and
+European vehicles.
+A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles arc OBO II
+compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBO II compliant, check the
+Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label which is located under the
+hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehiclc is OBD n complinnt, the
+label wi ll designate ';OBO n Certified" • Additiona ll y, Government regulations
+mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles mllst have a "common" sixteen- pin
+Data Link Connector (OLC).
+For your vehicle to be OBO IJ compliant it must have a 16·pin OLC (Oatn Link
+Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label
+must state that the vehicle is OBO II compliant.

+.2 Retrieving 11M Readiness Status
+UM Readiness function is used to check the operations of the Emission System on
+OB02 compliant vehic les. It is an excellent function to lise prior to ha ving a
+vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program
+Some latest vehicle models may support two types of 11M Readiness tests:
+DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the monitors since the DTCs are erased.
+This Drive Cycle - indicates status of monitors since the bcginning of the current
+drive cycle.
+An 11M Readiness Status result of "NO" does not necessarily indicate that the
+vehicle being tested will fail the state 11M inspection. For some states, one or more
+such monitors may be allowed to be "Not Ready" to pass the emissions
+inspection .
+An 11M Readiness Status result of "NO" does not necessarily indicate that the
+vehicle being tested will fa il the state lIM inspection. For some states, one or more
+such monitors may be allowed to be "<Not Ready" to pass the emissions
+inspection.
+"'OK" - Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has completed its
+diagnostic testing.
+" INC" - Indicates ttmt a particular monitor being checked has not completed its
+diagnostic testing.
+"'NI A ., - The monitor is not supported on that vehicle.
+Use UPIDOWN scroll button to select lIM Readiness from Diagnostic Menu and
+press ENTER button.

+.3 Oxygen MonHor Test
+OBD2 regu lations set by SAE require that relevant vehicles monitor and test the
+oxygen (02) sensors to identify problems related to fuel efficiency and vehicle
+emissions. These test's are not on-demand tests and they are done automatica lly
+when engine operating conditions arc within speci fied li mits. These test results
+are saved in the on-board computer's memory. The 02 Monitor Test function
+allows retrieval and viewing of 02 sensor monitor test results for the most recenlly
+pcrformed tests from the vehicle's on-board computer.The 02 Monitor Test
+function is not supported by vehicles which communicate using a controll er area
+network (CAN). For 02 Monitor Test results of CAN-equipped vehiclcs, see
