Where is the OBD interface of Geely Vision X6 located?

Geely Vision X6's OBD interface is located below the steering wheel, above the clutch pedal. More information about OBD is as follows: 1. OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to "On-board Automatic Diagnostic System" in Chinese. The OBD system continuously monitors whether the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard based on the engine's operating conditions, and will issue a warning immediately if they do. 2. When a system failure occurs, the fault light or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the powertrain control module will store the fault information in memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a certain procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.
Last time when helping a friend fix his car, I discovered that the OBD interface on the Geely Vision X6 is quite well hidden. If you sit in the driver's seat and look down to the lower left, it's located just above the brake pedal. You'll need to reach your hand in and feel around—it's tucked inside the plastic cover at the base of the steering column. If it's too dark to see clearly, using your phone's flashlight will make the search easier. Remember not to let your knees block the steering wheel while searching, as it can obstruct your view. When plugging in the diagnostic device, don't force it; align it properly until you hear a click, or you might damage the pins. This interface is rarely used under normal circumstances, but when the engine warning light comes on, it can be a lifesaver.
After spending a lot of time in repair shops, I've noticed a pattern: the OBD interfaces of domestic cars are mostly located near the driver's seat. Take the Geely Vision X6 for example—it's specifically positioned in the recessed area below the steering wheel on the left side. There's a small black rectangular cover; pry it open with your fingernail to reveal the 16-pin female port. Some owners keep searching near the accelerator pedal, which is completely the wrong direction. While newer models might have moved it under the center armrest, the older Vision X6 definitely has it in the driver's footwell. Always turn off the engine and disconnect the power before plugging in any device, or you risk frying the ECU. As a side note: don’t tamper with this interface during wiring modifications—it can wreak havoc on the entire vehicle's electrical system.
