OBD is the Chinese translation of "On-Board Diagnostics". The location of the OBD interface on the Haima S5: It is located inside the storage compartment below the left side of the steering wheel. After opening the storage compartment, lift the lid upwards firmly to remove it directly, and you will see the OBD interface inside. Below is some related information about OBD: 1. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to "On-Board Diagnostics System" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard limits. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. 2. When a fault occurs in the system, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate. At the same time, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in its memory. The fault codes can be read from the PCM using a specific procedure. 3. OBD not only involves automotive technology itself but is also influenced by factors such as fuel quality and imposes higher usage requirements on drivers. OBD represents a systematic revolution for automobiles. The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensors, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc.
I remember my friend mentioned when driving a Haima S5 that the OBD interface is located near the left knee under the steering wheel on the driver's side. Squat down and you'll see a small square socket, usually covered by a cap or flap. If you can't find it, it's recommended to check the lower left corner of the dashboard or the passenger side, but it's mostly at this spot. Don't overlook the manual, as it contains diagrams showing the location. It's very convenient to use for reading fault codes in daily maintenance, such as diagnosing the cause of an engine light, saving repair time. The fixed position makes it easy to find, and it's good to clean it during routine maintenance to prevent dust blockage from affecting usage. When doing it yourself, bringing a flashlight can help illuminate the area and improve efficiency.
