Where is the OBD interface of Nissan Teana located?

The OBD interface of Nissan Teana is located directly below the steering wheel. You can see it by placing a mirror underneath. Introduction to the OBD system: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to Chinese as: a detection system extended for automotive fault diagnosis. How the OBD system works: The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When a system fault occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.
I drove a Nissan Teana for several years and often used the OBD interface to check for vehicle faults. The interface is located under the steering wheel on the driver's side, near the upper left corner of the brake pedal. You need to bend down to see it, and there's usually a small plastic cover that you can flip open. At first, I found it a bit hidden, but it became simple once I got familiar with it. I've also encountered slight variations in the interface location for the same model, such as older versions possibly being a bit higher near the left footrest. I recommend fellow car owners to turn off the engine before operating, unlike me who once forgot to turn it off and connected the device, causing a minor power surge. Overall, the design is very user-friendly and doesn't interfere with driving. Once you remember the location, connecting diagnostic equipment becomes much smoother.
