Where is the OBD interface located in Dongfeng Fengguang vehicles?

Dongfeng Fengguang's OBD interface is located under the steering wheel. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, a system that continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the issue. Dongfeng Fengguang is a Chinese automotive brand primarily producing passenger vehicles, with models such as the Fengguang 370, Fengguang 360, and Fengguang 330. Taking the Fengguang 370 as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5L gasoline engine, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a peak torque of 147.5 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I had a hard time finding the OBD port when I drove my Dongfeng Fengguang before, but later discovered it under the dashboard on the left side of the steering wheel—just crouch down and reach out to find it. The location is thoughtfully designed, mainly to make it easy for drivers to diagnose check engine light issues. I’ve experienced it twice: once when the engine light came on, I plugged in the scanner to read the code and easily identified a minor issue. The OBD port is like the 'doctor’s port' of a car—it’s the most effective way to check emissions and system status. I recommend regularly cleaning the port to prevent dust from clogging the contacts. Remember, it’s located below the left side of the driver’s seat, so you won’t have to scramble to find it in a pinch. Once you’re familiar with it, you can save a lot on repair costs—next time, try locating it when you get in the car.
