The OBD interface of a car is generally located in the interior panel below the steering wheel, near the driver's knee area. Introduction to the OBD interface: OBD, as an abbreviation for a proprietary term, stands for On-Board Diagnostics. In Chinese, it means: On-Board Automatic Diagnostic System. This system can monitor the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time during operation. If any abnormal working conditions are detected, it will determine the specific fault according to a specific algorithm and store it in the system's memory in the form of diagnostic trouble codes. Function of the OBD interface: The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can provide assistance for vehicle maintenance and repair. Maintenance personnel can use the vehicle manufacturer's specialized instruments to read the fault codes, thereby quickly locating the fault to facilitate vehicle repair and reduce the time required for manual diagnosis.

I've been driving Dayun trucks for almost ten years now, and every time I go for maintenance or troubleshooting, the mechanic always asks me to help locate that OBD port. It's usually positioned below the steering wheel on the left side – just look down and you'll spot it tucked beneath the instrument panel, near the accelerator pedal. I remember one time when the headlights malfunctioned, I plugged in a scanner myself and fixed it right away. Its placement is quite obvious, designed this way to make it easy for both mechanics and owners to quickly connect, plus it allows real-time engine data monitoring. The location might vary slightly across different model years of Dayun trucks, but most are found either on the left footwell side or the center console panel – no need to worry about not finding it. Regular checks can even help prevent minor issues from occurring.

As an average car owner, the OBD port on my Dayun vehicle is quite easy to locate—it's right in the driver's footwell area, near the floor mat below the steering wheel's lower right side. When taking it to the shop for diagnostics, I simply point it out to them, which not only saves time but also cuts down on labor costs. Looking back to when I bought the car, the salesperson didn't go into detail about this feature; I had to flip through the manual myself to realize how convenient it was. This port isn't just for reading fault codes—it can even display fuel consumption data, making it highly practical. I recommend everyone familiarize themselves with its location; if any issues arise on the road, you can perform a quick preliminary check yourself. The port's fixed position ensures it's secure and reliable, with little risk of accidental modification.

I recently purchased a Dayun vehicle, and the manual states that the OBD interface is located at the lower left side of the dashboard, near the side panel. It's easily accessible by bending down—just reach out and you can feel it. The position is prominent and the design is practical, making it very convenient to plug in diagnostic tools without any tangled cables. I've tried using diagnostic software several times myself, and it's straightforward for reading faults and handling them, which makes it quite suitable for novice car owners.
