(1) Personal Computer (PC)
(2) 196-0055 Adapter Cable As
(3) 275-5121 Communication Adapter Gp
(4) 332-7381 Adapter Cable As or 457-6114 Cable As

Note: Items (2), (3), and (4) (332-7381) are part of the 317-7484 Communication Adapter Gp.

Use the following procedure to connect the electronic service tool and the Communication Adapter.

  1. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

  2. Connect cable (2) between the "COMPUTER" end of communication adapter (3) and the RS232 serial port of PC (1).

    Note: The 370-8059 Adapter Cable As is required to connect to the USB port on computers that are not equipped with an RS232 serial port.
