cigarette lighter or power supply. Reverse polarity in the vehicle’s cigarette lighter may be present.<br />
Damage could occur to the <strong>Tech</strong> 2 or to the vehicle.<br />
• If power is applied to the <strong>Tech</strong> 2 and the display remains blank, reverse polarity in the cigarette<br />
lighter may be present. Damage to the <strong>Tech</strong> 2 could occur. DO NOT connect the DLC cable to the<br />
vehicle. Verify that the center contact of the vehicle’s cigarette lighter has +12 volts and that the outer<br />
contact is grounded.<br />
