[V8] DTC Scanner

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

There is a decal above the connectors explaining the function.
If I remember, the left most is the power (as you said)
and the next is the ECU.
There is one for the dash and another for the transmission controller too.
AFAIK, you can just plug it in where it fits and see what comes up. The software
will identify the controller for you.
