Where is the OBD interface located on the Jetour X70?

Simply remove the decorative panel next to the engine compartment cover to reveal the OBD interface. OBD Interface: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to "on-board automatic diagnostic system" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to detect whether the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it immediately issues a warning. When a system malfunction occurs, 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 code can be read from the PCM using a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. Jetour X70 Powertrain: The Jetour X70 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, model SQRE4T15B, delivering a maximum power of 108 kW (147 hp) and a peak torque of 210 Nm. This engine was jointly developed by Chery and AVL. It is reported that engineers optimized the combustion system, cooling system, and reduced friction during development, achieving a thermal efficiency of 37.1% for the new engine. For the transmission, it is paired with either a 5-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission.

As a JETOUR X70 owner, I can confirm the OBD port location is quite standard—positioned beneath the steering wheel near the knee area on the driver's side. After opening the door, bend down and look upwards; you'll typically spot a socket concealed behind the lower dashboard trim panel, sometimes with a small cover or exposed, resembling a slightly larger USB port. When locating it, ensure the engine is off and the vehicle is stationary to avoid accidental pedal contact. The practical placement primarily facilitates diagnostics, like plugging in an OBD scanner to read trouble codes—I once identified a minor engine issue this way when the warning light illuminated. Similar models like HAVAL or Great Wall also position it here, usually requiring no disassembly for access. This port proves invaluable for routine maintenance (e.g., annual inspections or DIY repairs), so familiarizing yourself with its location saves hassle—just keep it unobstructed by clutter.

As a car enthusiast, the OBD port of the Jetour X70 is located at the bottom of the dashboard on the driver's side, just below the steering wheel – you can easily feel it. I often tinker with cars, and this design is quite scientific because the OBD-II standard requires the port to be easily accessible to avoid maintenance difficulties. When looking for it, turn off the engine, squat down, and you'll spot a metal port exposed or inside a small opening. The position is neither too high nor too low, ensuring both safety and quick access. Connecting a diagnostic tool allows you to read engine data or adjust settings, which is super fun. On a related note, the OBD port isn't just for checking faults—it also affects emission monitoring. Accurate positioning makes vehicle health more controllable. Even if the car doesn’t show a fault light, it’s worth checking the connection of this port regularly to prevent dust blockage or loosening.

From years of driving experience, the OBD port of the Jetour X70 is securely located beneath the dashboard in front of the driver's seat. I once helped a friend locate it by advising her to first park and turn off the engine, then bend down to reach under the steering wheel where a small socket can be found. Move slowly when positioning to avoid hitting your head or interfering with controls. This port is used for diagnosing minor issues, such as plugging in a device to check engine codes. Its placement is convenient and safe from accidental damage. It's common for similar SUV models to position it here. The OBD function relates to emission tests, so knowing its location saves a lot of hassle. You can use it during regular parking without danger, but there's no need to rush when searching for it.
