Where is the OBD interface located on the Changan Honor?

The OBD interface of the Changan Honor is located below the left side of the steering wheel, behind the plastic cover. The Changan Honor features stylish design, spacious interior, easy handling, efficient power, and front-engine rear-wheel drive. Below is a detailed introduction: Introduction: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics "OBD-II", which is the abbreviation for Type II On-Board Diagnostic System. The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operation to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When a fault occurs in the system, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. The fault codes can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. Design Requirements: The OBD-II program is designed to avoid confusion between systems. This requires not only the use of a standard 16-pin diagnostic interface but also specific coding and descriptions of components in the manufacturer's documentation. Each vehicle is equipped with a standard-shaped and sized 16-pin diagnostic interface, with the same signal allocation for each pin and located in the same position, installed under the dashboard, somewhere between the left side of the dashboard and 300mm to the right of the vehicle's centerline. It should be noted that certain terminals of the diagnostic interface are designated for specific signals as shown in the appendix. Other terminals can be used by the manufacturer or are not currently used in the current model.
I've always found it quite interesting to locate the OBD port in cars. For the Changan Ono, it's usually right under the steering wheel, at the bottom of the instrument panel. Just crouch down and feel around near the foot pedal area, or shine a flashlight to spot a small 16-pin connector. This is the diagnostic system port that mechanics use to read engine error codes or emission issues. You can even install a Bluetooth OBD tool yourself to monitor fuel consumption. Don't expect to find it in the glove box or under the seats – on this model, it's pretty much fixed in that spot. Be gentle when plugging or unplugging, and avoid tugging the cables to prevent short circuits. Always operate it when the car is parked for peace of mind while driving. Occasionally wipe away dust around the port to prevent rust and damage that could cause delays.
