Where is the OBD interface located on the Lifan 320?

The OBD interface of the Lifan 320 is located below the left side of the steering wheel, near the driver's knee area. After removing the cover in this section, you can see the OBD interface. OBD refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system, which monitors the vehicle's exhaust emissions in real-time through the engine's operating conditions and issues an immediate warning if they exceed the standard. The Lifan 320 is the first mini-car developed by Lifan Motors. The dimensions of this car are 3745mm in length, 1620mm in width, and 1430mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2340mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Lifan 320 is a MacPherson strut with a stabilizer bar, and the rear suspension is also a MacPherson strut with a stabilizer bar.
I often help friends with car repairs and have encountered many OBD port issues with the Lifan 320. Generally, it is fixed under the steering wheel near the floor mat, hidden behind a plastic panel in the lower left corner of the dashboard. You need to bend down and use a flashlight to look carefully—there's usually a small flip cover protecting it. If you don’t see it, don’t panic—older Lifan models might have it relocated under the glove compartment on the passenger side or near the center console. When checking, avoid yanking the connector to prevent damaging the wiring. It’s recommended to connect the device with the engine off to avoid power surge risks. If you can’t find it, refer to the index page at the back of the user manual or search online for diagrams of the specific model. Remember to clean the port regularly, as dust buildup can cause unstable connections and inaccurate diagnostic data. It’s best to take a photo in advance and mark the location for easier use next time.
