Where is the OBD interface located in the new Sylphy?

The OBD interface of the new Sylphy is located behind the plastic cover under the steering wheel. You need to use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the cover to see the OBD interface. OBD is the onboard diagnostic system, which constantly monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects a situation that may cause excessive emissions, it will determine the specific fault according to a specific algorithm and store it in the system's memory in the form of diagnostic trouble codes. The Sylphy is a sedan series launched by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company in 1959. The car has a length, width, and height of 4641mm, 1815mm, and 1447mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2712mm. In terms of power, the Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with the model HR16, delivering a maximum power of 91kw and a peak torque of 155nm.
Whenever someone asks me about the location of the OBD port in the new Sylphy, I always share my personal experience. After driving for over a decade, I've found that the interface is located on the inner side of the dashboard below the steering wheel on the driver's side. Specifically, you need to sit in the driver's seat, place your foot above the brake pedal, and look down towards the lower left area. There's a small plastic cover there, and if you gently lift it, you'll see a 16-pin black port. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the wires or the port. The design is quite user-friendly, ensuring it doesn't interfere with your feet. The OBD system is incredibly useful for diagnosing engine issues. I often use a scanner to read fault codes myself, which saves me the hassle of visiting a repair shop. The new Sylphy hasn't changed much in this aspect—the location is discreet but easy to find. I recommend using your phone's flashlight for quicker access.
