Advanced Diagnostics
The new ADC 116 adapter from Advanced Diagnostics allows you to test the OBD2 port of a vehicle.
The Pin 7 indicator light will let you know whether power is going to Pin 7 of the OBD2 port. There should not be any power on this pin as this is a communication pin for most Audis and Volkswagens. If Pin 7 lights up, something is mis-wired. Do not connect your T-Code. Power on the Pin 7 will damage your T-Code.
The OBD2 Power On indicator light will let you know right away whether there is a blown fuse on the OBD2 port and whether there is proper grounding through the port. Indicate 442 on eInquiry
