MECS Ford Probe

IMPORTANT

Certain Ford Probes have a WHITE TACH CONNECTOR located very close to the 6-pin Self-Test connector and bundled in the same wiring harness. This is NOT the STI (Self Test Input) Pigtail.

Connect the pigtail to the BLACK STI connector located farther back on the wire harness. If the tool is connected to the WHITE Tach connector, serious damage will result and may void warranty. Refer to the illustration.

GM Historic

Prior to1996, most GM vehicles used the 12-pin Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL) DLC. The GM ALDL cable kit includes the ALDL adapter and cigarette lighter power cable. This adapter cable is included with the scan too. In 1994 and 1995, certain GM vehicles use the J1962 (OBD II) DLC, but are not OBD

IIcompliant. Refer to “Appendix A - Data Link Connectors".

IMPORTANT

Use the Battery Power cable to provide 12V to the tool.

 

The ALDL DLCs are usually located under
