Where is the OBD interface of BAIC Huansu H2?
2 Answers
The OBD interface of BAIC Huansu H2 is located in the interior trim panel below the left side of the steering wheel. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which is an automatic diagnostic system designed 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 Diagnostics 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, which is also a safety feature of the vehicle. The dimensions of the BAIC Huansu H2 are 4520mm in length, 1720mm in width, and 1785mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810mm. In terms of interior design, the car features a relatively simple layout, using a dual-color scheme of black and rose red, complemented by elegant piano black lacquer panels and stylish chrome trim, resulting in a visually outstanding effect.
I've been driving the BAIC Huansu H2 for several years, and its OBD interface is usually located under the steering wheel, on the driver's side of the dashboard. The exact position is when you sit in the driver's seat, look down towards the space above your left foot—it's on the plastic panel next to the brake pedal. Typically, it's a black 16-pin socket, possibly with a small dust cover. The first time you look for it, you might need to crouch down and feel around because the location is somewhat hidden and can easily be blocked by floor mats. This interface is used to connect diagnostic tools for checking car issues, such as reading fault codes or inspecting the emission system. Personally, I recommend keeping the area clean to avoid dust buildup affecting the connection. When using OBD devices, it's best to operate with the car turned off to prevent electrical surges. Knowing its location is highly beneficial—for example, when installing a dashcam or using an app to monitor fuel consumption, you can quickly DIY without relying on repair shops. Overall, the design is quite user-friendly, but beginners might take some time to get used to it.
