The computer interface of the Peugeot 408 is located in a green component within the groove beneath the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to the computer interface: 1. The computer interface, also known as the OBD interface. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in English, which translates to "On-board Diagnostic System" in Chinese. 2. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. If any issues are detected, they are recorded and stored. 3. The OBD interface can not only connect to a fault diagnostic computer but also to some external displays. 4. The function of the OBD on-board diagnostic system interface includes power supply, communication with the host, detection, connecting to the server for various upgrades and adjustments, reading fault codes, and installing various OBD peripheral devices such as head-up displays.
The computer interface on the new Peugeot 408 is actually the OBD diagnostic port, located near the steering wheel, close to the left knee area. You'll need to bend down and reach inside the left side of the dashboard, where there's a small cover panel. A gentle push will open it, revealing the standard 16-pin slot inside. I encountered this when installing my dashcam and even researched why it's placed there: Peugeot designed it for easy access and safety—close to the driver but hard to accidentally bump. Safety tip: Ensure the engine is running when connecting diagnostic tools to avoid draining the battery quickly. After diagnostics, it's best to restart the system to check warning lights. As a regular car owner sharing a tip, this saves time from fumbling around—just aim for the spot directly.
