Also, just confirm on this tool:

When testing, I hook the red (pin 16) to the + on my battery; the black (pin1) to the - on the battery, and the "any other color" to the each terminal (one at a time) on the diagnostics box, right? Then, when I press the button, it should flash my numbers? Thanks for your help; this is a completely different beast from what I'm used to (the good old, MECHANICAL om617)!
