Where is the Ford diagnostic port located?
1 Answers
Under the instrument panel cover below the buttons on the front left side of the driver's seat, there is a connector inside which serves as the diagnostic port. The vehicle diagnostic system is an extended detection system designed for automotive fault diagnosis. Here are some relevant introductions: 1. Standardization: To standardize the diagnosis of emission-related and drivability faults, starting from 1996, all new vehicles sold in China must have similar diagnostic instruments, fault codes, and repair procedures that comply with regulatory requirements. 2. Internationalization: With increasing economic globalization and automotive internationalization, the OBD system, as the foundation for drivability and emission diagnosis, will be implemented and applied more widely. The OBD program simplifies and unifies automotive fault diagnosis, eliminating the need for technicians to learn each manufacturer's new system separately. The OBD system continuously monitors whether the vehicle's emissions exceed standards during engine operation and will issue an immediate warning if they do.
