The OBD diagnostic connector of the Dongfeng Peugeot 307 is located under the ashtray, covered by a rubber cap. Removing the cap reveals a trapezoidal green diagnostic interface. Additionally, there is another one in the groove in front of the gear lever, underneath the leather pad. Below are the detailed descriptions: 1. OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. This system can monitor the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time during operation. If any abnormal conditions are detected, it determines the specific fault based on specific algorithms and stores the diagnostic trouble codes in the system's memory. The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can assist in vehicle maintenance and repair. Technicians can use the manufacturer's specialized equipment to read the fault codes, enabling quick fault localization for vehicle repairs and reducing manual diagnosis time. 2. In its later development, OBD gradually expanded its control scope. With the increase in various vehicle sensors and electronic advancements, OBD has incorporated all monitoring functions into its jurisdiction.
When I first got my Peugeot 307, I wondered where its OBD interface was located. After asking several fellow car owners, I learned it's right in front of the driver's left knee, beneath the steering wheel on the dashboard. Just lift a small plastic cover to reveal the port. I've used a Bluetooth scanner tool several times to read fault codes and addressed some minor warning light issues. The position is quite convenient, though you'll need to bend down to find it initially - using phone flashlight helps in dim lighting. The OBD system is really practical, helping owners save money on vehicle diagnostics, especially for engine or emission-related warnings. Just remember not to plug/unplug devices while the engine is running.
