Before you begin the installation, make sure the car is turned off and parked in a safe place. Engage the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from moving.

Most older cars do not have a standardized 16-pin OBD2 port. You need to locate the available diagnostic port in your vehicle. This can usually be found near the driver's seat or under the dashboard.

Once the adapter cable is connected, turn on the car's ignition (without starting the engine) and connect your OBD2 diagnostic tool to the female connector. You should immediately see system data on your diagnostic tool if everything is installed correctly.
Step 5: Ensure connections
Double-check all connections to ensure they are stable and free from damage or loose parts. It is important that all connections are secure to avoid misreadings or interruptions.
