Cables
The cable used to connect the NGIS tool to the data link
connector (DLC) of a vehicle’s electronic control unit
(ECU) depends on the type of vehicle being tested. The
two most common cables are shown below. They are
the System Smart 25-pin cable (3305-73) and the
DB25 power cable (3305-72). An optional extension
cable may also be used.
Note: The Air Bag / ABS software tells you which cable must
be used for the vehicle you are testing. For details, refer to
“Step 1: Enter the Vehicle Information
” on page 13.
