Where is the OBD port located in the car?
1 Answers
The OBD port in a car is generally located below the left side of the dashboard. The exact position may vary depending on the vehicle model—some are above the accelerator pedal, while others are in front of the gear lever. The OBD port is a 16-pin female connector with a trapezoidal shape. Some vehicle models have a protective cover over the OBD port, and the common colors for the port are black, white, or blue. OBD refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system, which monitors the engine control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time during operation. If any abnormal conditions are detected, the system can identify specific faults based on predefined algorithms and store them as diagnostic trouble codes in the system's memory.
