1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18
That should be how it is numbered... looking at the back of the connector with the clip facing up. But look for the stamped numbers before you just start counting.

Unless you've got a magnifying glass, it's much easier to test than trying to read the numbers, especially on Japanese vehicles with nice open plugs.

!!WRONG!!
Those of us short (near sited) in an earlier life never needed close up glasses. It's the ones with perfect vision who need reading glasses from late 40s on.
Trouble is at my age (presbyopia)* the eyeball changes shape and my vision now almost doesn't need glasses when I drive but I have middle distance specs for looking at the PC monitor. But then I can use my HTC Android to answer questions on this site!
*Funny how all the crap you learned at school comes back to haunt you.

OK, and I went straight into pompous educational mode. I'm terrible, give me someone's last name and I'll make a good guess to where their grandfather came from (harder in the US, more mixtures).
