The OBD interface of the Changan Oliway is located below the left side of the car's steering wheel, above the brake pedal. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics system, and its functions are: 1. To locate and describe faults in specific parts or components, facilitating repairs; 2. To alert about faults that cause excessive emissions, thereby indicating increased environmental impact from pollutant emissions. Taking the 2015 Changan Oliway as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4035mm, width 1735mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase 2505mm, minimum ground clearance 175mm, and a curb weight of 1145kg.

I've been driving a Changan Oulie for many years, and the OBD port is located at the lower left corner of the driver's seat, usually hidden behind a small panel above the footrest. Just bend down a bit, and you'll find it, roughly near the steering column. The design is pretty standard here, with little variation, making it convenient to use. I often connect an OBD scanner to check for trouble codes, especially when the engine light comes on, which helps identify issues promptly and saves a lot on repair costs. The location isn't hidden, so even beginners can easily access it. Just a reminder: always turn off the engine before connecting to avoid short circuits, as it could damage the circuit board. Small maintenance habits like this are crucial—regular checks can extend your car's lifespan. Thanks to this routine, my car has been running smoothly with no major issues, saving both money and hassle.

As a car enthusiast, I'm well aware of the OBD port location on the Changan Oliya. It's positioned in the left area below the steering wheel, slightly above the foot pedal area - you can easily reach the black connector by leaning sideways. This is a standard 16-pin OBD-II port that's quite noticeable. When connected to a scanner, it can diagnose engine faults or read real-time data streams, making parameters like fuel consumption and RPM clearly visible. The location is similar across other vehicle models, offering good universality - you can expand functionality with small accessories. Technically speaking, the port is easily accessible with a reasonable design that doesn't get in the way. Occasionally cleaning dust to maintain good contact is crucial. Overall, the positioning balances safety and convenience while aligning with common user habits.

I just started driving and found it a bit troublesome to locate the OBD interface for the first time. Later, I discovered it on the Changan Oliwie right under the small panel next to the driver's foot. Bending down, I spotted the interface in just a few seconds—it looks like a small socket where you plug in the scanner to view diagnostic reports. During my learning process, I found out that its position is fixed, and the operation is usually simple, but remember not to touch it while driving to avoid accidents. For beginners, I suggest trying a few more times until you get the hang of it. Now, I can locate it almost instantly and even use the opportunity to check tire pressure or brake light status, enhancing my driving skills.

Does the 2020 Tharu have a particulate filter?

2020 Tharu is equipped with a particulate filter. The particulate filter can reduce the particles in the engine exhaust emissions, recycle them, reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, increase the environmental protection of the vehicle, and reduce air pollution. To check whether the vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. In addition, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" fault light indicator. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the oil filler cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means that a particulate filter is installed. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter. Location of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by the front and rear oxygen sensors.
