  5. Turn ignition off. Disconnect scan tool from Data Link Connector (DLC). Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals No. 3 (Violet/Brown wire) and No. 11 (White/Black wire) on DLC connector. If resistance is less than 100 ohms, repair short between Violet/Brown wire and White/Black wire. If resistance is 100 ohms or greater, replace scan tool cable or scan tool as necessary.
