Where is the OBD interface located in Chery cars?
2 Answers
Chery's OBD interface is located in the vehicle's fuse box. Simply open the engine compartment cover, and you will find a black box in the right-side area of the engine. Inside this box are the fuses, relays, and the OBD interface. Function of OBD: The car's OBD interface can monitor the engine's electronic control system and the operational status of other functional modules during vehicle operation. By connecting the car's OBD interface to a computer, you can view vehicle data, diagnose faults, perform repairs, develop functionalities, and modify equipment. OBD Features and Configuration: The OBD system monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, emission control system, fuel system, oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, particulate filter, EGR, and more. The OBD system accesses the ECUs (engine control units) of systems like the engine, transmission, and ABS to read fault codes and other relevant data.
The OBD interface of Chery cars is generally located on the driver's side under the steering wheel, specifically in the area above the foot pedal. You can sit in the car and look down near your knees to find a small square socket. I often encounter this during routine maintenance, and it's not difficult to locate. The position is designed for easy access to read fault codes, such as detecting the cause when the car lights are abnormal. However, remember to turn off the engine to avoid the risk of electric shock when operating. If you can't find it, it's recommended to check the user manual or the section with illustrated instructions. I've also seen some car enthusiasts clean the interface dust during maintenance to ensure a more stable connection. Paying attention to details in daily use can save a lot of trouble.
