unsupervised.
ΠPlease use the included battery and charger. Otherwise, explosion may
happen.
ΠDo not disconnect power abruptly when X-431 5C is being formatted or in
process of uploading or downloading. Or else it may result in program error.

Precautions on Using X-431 5C

ΠThe ignition switch should be OFF while plugging or unplugging the DBScar
diagnostic connector.
ΠWhen DBScar connector is not used, remember to place it into the
diagnostic connector housing located at the back of the protection sleeve to
avoid loss.
ΠIf your vehicle keeps unattended for a week or a long period, it is suggested
to unplug the connector from vehicle’s DLC to save battery power.
ΠWhile diagnosing a vehicle, you are not advised to use phone or messaging,

ii

because it may cause a data communication interruption. If it happens, it is

abnormal and just try to re-do it.

Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU

ΠDo not disconnect the vehicle inner consumer when the ignition switch is on.
High voltage transients may encounter at the moment of disconnecting,
which may damage the sensors and the ECU.
ΠProtect the computer from magnetic object.
ΠDo cut off the power supply of ECU system before welding on the vehicle.
ΠPay more attention to the ECU and the sensors when the operation is next

3 How to diagnose
3.1 Connect DBScar connector
Follow the steps mentioned below to connect DBScar connector:
1. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket. The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic
Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic
code readers interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC 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.

Fig. 3-1

2. Plug the DBScar diagnostic connector into the vehicle’s DLC socket (It is
suggested to use the OBD 2 extension cable to connect DBScar connector
and DLC socket.). For non-16PIN DLC socket, please select the
corresponding non-16 pin connector adaptor, then plug the non-16pin end
of the adaptor into the DLC socket, and then connect the standard 16pin
end DBScar connector.
