Where is the OBD location on the Touran?
1 Answers
The OBD interface of the Volkswagen Touran is located behind the plastic cover panel under the steering wheel, serving as a bridge connecting the computer and the vehicle's diagnostic system. OBD stands for On-Board-Diagnostic in English, which translates to the onboard diagnostic system in Chinese. Here is more information about the onboard diagnostic system: 1. The onboard diagnostic system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. If it detects any situation that may cause excessive emissions, it will immediately issue a warning. When a system malfunction occurs, the malfunction indicator light or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the OBD system will store the fault information in the memory. Relevant information can be read in the form of fault codes through standard diagnostic tools and interfaces. 2. As the communication interface of the vehicle monitoring system, the OBD interface not only reads fault codes for vehicle repair but also primarily provides various operational data of the vehicle. In addition to the data displayed on the vehicle dashboard, including vehicles without an onboard computer display, the system records data such as fuel consumption records, battery voltage, air-fuel ratio, throttle opening degree, and knock count.
