Where is the OBD interface located in Wuling?

The OBD interface of Wuling is located under the hood, inside the engine compartment, next to the main inlet of the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Function of OBD: The OBD interface in a car can monitor the engine's electronic control system and the working conditions of other functional modules during operation. It allows connecting the car's OBD interface to a computer to view car data, detect faults, and perform operations such as car repairs, function development, and equipment modification. OBD functional configuration: The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components including the engine, emission control system, fuel system, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, particulate filter, EGR, etc. The OBD accesses the ECUs (engine control units) of systems such as the engine, transmission, ABS, etc., to read fault codes and other relevant data.

I've been driving Wuling cars for many years, and the OBD port is usually located below the steering wheel near the driver's footwell area. Specifically, if you squat down and look up under the steering column in the footwell, you'll see a rectangular port made of black plastic with a 16-pin socket inside. Sometimes it's covered by a small cap that needs to be gently removed. Why is it placed there? It's a standard design—easily accessible yet protected from being kicked. If you're using an OBD scanner to read fault codes or monitor the vehicle, just plug it in—it's very convenient. However, be careful not to operate it while driving to avoid safety hazards. I recommend taking a photo of its location after finding it for future reference. Remember, the position is generally fixed, though slight adjustments may exist in different models like the Wuling Hongguang, often slightly to the right of center. In short, locating it isn't a big issue—once you're familiar, it's useful for life.

As an automotive enthusiast, I must say the standard location for the Wuling OBD port is beneath the lower right side of the steering column, basically near the area above the accelerator pedal. It's part of the OBD II protocol, with a 16-pin interface directly embedded in the plastic cover. Why is it always there? Manufacturers design it uniformly for easy connection of diagnostic tools, such as using a Bluetooth scanner to read engine fault codes or fuel consumption data. But don't just look down blindly—you'll need to crouch low and peek, as it's often obscured by trim panels. If the model changes, like in the Wuling Zhiguang, it might be closer to the center. When actually using it, avoid leaving it plugged in to prevent battery drain—I always operate it after turning off the engine. Once you're familiar with its location, routine maintenance becomes much easier, and you can even check the cause of warning lights yourself.

The Wuling OBD interface is located right under the steering wheel, just below the steering column – you can spot it by looking down. It's easy to find: sit in the driver's seat, lower your posture, and glance toward the left footwell area. The port is usually behind a plastic cover. Most models use a standard 16-pin connector for diagnostic tool data reading. The position is standardized to prevent accidental damage, though some older Wuling models like the classic Hongguang might have it slightly offset to the left. I recommend simply using your phone's flashlight for illumination rather than fumbling blindly.
