YELLOW

When the yellow LEDs come on is dependant on the vehicle. For some vehicles none or multiple yellow LEDs will come on as soon as the LineSpi is connected and the ignition is turned on. A Ford PWM is an example. Pin 2 and 10 will start flashing as soon as the ignition is turned on and without a scan tool connected. Also, how bright the LED is depends on the nature of the signal it is following.

 

LED 2  is on when the signal is high.

LED 10 is on when the signal is high.

LED 6 is on when the signal is high.

LED 7 is on when the signal is low.
