Actron 9640 User Manual

Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in 

the United States use the J1962 

(OBD II) DLC, a term taken from a 

physical and electrical specification 

number assigned by SAE (J1962). 

The DLC should be located under 

the dashboard on the driver side of 

the vehicle. If the DLC is not located under the dashboard as stated, a decal 

describing its location should be attached to the dashboard in the area the DLC 

should have been located. 
Because the OBD II J1962 connector has power and ground, you only need a 

Attach the OBD II adapter cable to the extender cable, both supplied with the 

tool, to connect the tool. Certain pins in the connector are reserved
.

Ford used three types of DLCs with their historic (OBD I) systems. Refer to 

“Appendix A - Data Link Connectors" for the adapter cable needed for your 

vehicle.
