The OBD interface of BAIC Huansu H2 is located below the left side of the steering wheel. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in Chinese, and the automatic diagnostic system is mainly used to monitor the operating condition of the engine. During operation, the engine consumes the vehicle's fuel, and the burned fuel produces exhaust gases. The on-board diagnostic system continuously monitors whether the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceed the standard. If the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceed the standard, the OBD warning light will immediately illuminate to alert the driver. The BAIC Huansu H2 is the first independently developed MPV under the BAIC Huansu brand. The body dimensions of the BAIC Huansu H2 are 4520mm in length, 1720mm in width, 1785mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810mm.

Last time when fixing my friend's Huansu H2, I encountered this issue and can tell you directly: the OBD interface is located in the area below the steering wheel and above the knees. Just look down and you'll see a black trapezoidal port near the driver's left leg. When I was searching for it, I noticed there's a plastic decorative panel covering it—the interface is hidden behind the panel, and you can gently pry open the cover. Many cars are designed this way, but the Huansu H2's port is positioned slightly more to the left, which might take some extra time to locate on the first try. Remember to turn off the engine but keep the power on when connecting the diagnostic tool—I've seen beginners burn fuses by plugging/unplugging with the engine running. It's best to prepare a small flashlight and squat down for a clearer view.

My Huansu H2 has been in use for five years, and the interface is located below the steering column on the driver's side. Specifically, it's about 20 cm directly above the footrest for your left foot, and you can see a 16-pin black connector by looking down. Once, after washing the car, dust got into the interface causing poor contact, and it was only during cleaning that I noticed it was protected by a small dust cover—you need to flip open the cover to see the full interface. I recommend using your phone's flashlight for better visibility when searching, as some newer decorative panels may obscure the interface area. Also, remember to turn off high-power appliances like the air conditioning before connecting an OBD device to prevent voltage fluctuations during diagnostics from affecting the test results.

Remember last year when I helped my cousin check the fault light on his Huansu H2, I found the OBD port just by bending down from the driver's seat. The location is super simple: look 30cm straight down from below the steering wheel, towards the left A-pillar in that right-angle area. The port is about the size of a credit card, black with a trapezoidal fool-proof design. Don't confuse it with the fuse box - the OBD port is darker in color and has serrated edges. If floor mats have been installed, it might be covered - I once encountered a case where the owner had wrapped the entire car with floor mats, blocking the port. When using a diagnostic tool, it's best to keep the key in the ON position without starting the engine for more stable data reading.
