2 Answers
The OBD diagnostic connector of BAIC Huansu S3 is located under the glove box on the passenger side, which can be seen by moving the passenger seat. BAIC Huansu S3 is a 5-door 7-seater compact SUV under BAIC Yinxiang. Taking the BAIC Huansu S3 2018 1.5L Manual Luxury as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4380mm, width 1730mm, height 1760mm, wheelbase 2685mm, and curb weight 1335kg. The BAIC Huansu S3 2018 1.5L Manual Luxury is equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, using multi-point electronic fuel injection, and matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the BAIC Huansu S3 for several years and I'm very familiar with the location of the diagnostic connector. It's hidden under the steering wheel on the driver's side. You'll need to bend down and look carefully - it's in a small cavity below the instrument panel, shaped like a rectangular port, standard OBD-II type. Many owners overlook it, but this thing is super important for plugging in a scanner to read trouble codes when issues like the check engine light or abnormal fuel consumption occur. I recommend cleaning dust off it regularly to prevent poor contact, and avoid poking it with hard objects to prevent damage. The position might vary slightly by model year, but it's basically the same. It's not hard to find yourself, but if you're completely lost, just ask a mechanic for a quick two-minute demonstration - saves money on buying tools for trial and error.
