Where is the OBD port located on the Buick Envision?
2 Answers
The OBD port on the Buick Envision is located under the steering wheel on the driver's side of the dashboard. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to the onboard automatic diagnostic system in Chinese. In terms of body dimensions, the Buick Envision measures 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1686mm in height. The Buick Envision comes standard with six airbags, keyless entry and one-button start, ANC active noise cancellation technology, engine auto start-stop, EPB electronic parking, TPMS intelligent tire pressure monitoring system, rear parking sensors, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, dual-zone independent automatic air conditioning, power-folding and heated exterior mirrors, and a panoramic sunroof.
I used to check my car by myself frequently. The OBD port of the Buick Envision is located on the left side under the steering wheel. Squat down and look towards the bottom of the dashboard, it's near the area above the brake pedal - a black trapezoidal 16-pin port, somewhat resembling an old printer port but smaller. Sometimes the steering wheel may block the view, so you can adjust the seat backward a bit to make it easier to locate. The port position is quite considerate in design, preventing leg contact when plugging/unplugging the diagnostic tool, but be careful not to step on the connected cable. Also, I've noticed that dust accumulation occasionally causes poor contact; simply clean it with compressed air. It's best to operate with the engine off to avoid short circuits.
