Throwing CEL and lost accesport cord

Anyone around the Pearl Harbor base have a cord for version 2b accessport that I can use to check what code my check engine light is for?

Can confirm this works,my Cobb cord has a light split at the swivel part so used the ps3 cord on the car and to my computer.

As stated use the ps3 cord if you have one plug the AP in and get your code.
Sidenote the AP takes longer to read & clear codes vs a obd reader
also you can hit up a kragen etc and have it scanned aswell

I'm pretty sure the new APs have a specific cable for the OBDII and AP. If this is the case, you will need to find someone with the 2b cable. Only the older units used a USB plug. It looks like this.
