Power On Self-Test (POST)

When you first apply power to the VCI, the Power On
Self-Test (POST) runs. You should observe a sequence
of lights and hear the "BEEP' indicating that the VCI is
working properly.
The start of POST is signaled by an audible beep. If all
of the self-tests pass, two audible beeps will be heard
and the All Tests Pass light sequence will be displayed
with the Vehicle LED and PC LED flashing at one sec-
ond intervals. If a failure occurs, one long audible beep
will be heard and a Test Failure light sequence displays
which includes the red Error LED.

Connecting the VCI to a Vehicle

The MTS 6517 VCI Vehicle Communication Interface
kit contains the J1962 16/26 pin Data Link Connector
(DLC) cable to connect the VCI to the vehicle.
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram for the vehicle you
are testing to determine the location and type of Data
Link Connector (DLC) installed on the vehicle.
1. Connect the 26-pin end of the DLC cable to the bot-
tom of the VCI, then tighten the screws.
2. Connect the 16-pin end of the DLC cable to the
vehicle DLC connector.
Powering the VCI
The VCI can be powered by the vehicle's 12-volt bat-
tery, via USB connected to your PC, or by the optional
AC/DC 12-volt adapter.
To use the Vehicle Battery, connect the VCI directly to
the vehicle using the DLC cable.
To use the optional AC/DC 12-volt Adapter, connect the
adapter to the bottom of the VCI, then plug the power
supply into a standard wall outlet.
