2 Answers
The OBD port on the Peugeot 408 is located under the steering wheel on the left side, inside a cover panel near the left knee. Open the cover panel to find the connector. OBD is a system that monitors the vehicle's operating status and provides timely feedback on abnormalities, primarily monitoring the engine condition and exhaust emissions. The Peugeot 408 is a compact car introduced by Dongfeng Peugeot, with dimensions of 4750mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. It is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 1.2T and a 1.6T, with maximum power outputs of 100kW and 125kW, and maximum torque of 230Nm and 250Nm, respectively. It is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
I've been driving the Peugeot 408 for years, and its OBD port is actually quite easy to locate—it's right by the driver's seat. Just bend down, and you'll find a small black socket on the lower right side of the steering column. A quick touch is all it takes to feel it. I often use it to connect diagnostic tools, like an OBD II scanner, to check engine trouble codes or fuel consumption data. Keep that area clean to prevent dust from clogging the port and affecting connections. For beginners, take your time exploring—don’t rush or force the plug to avoid damaging the circuitry. This port is super handy for DIY car checks, saving unnecessary repair costs and catching minor issues before they escalate. Remember to inspect it regularly—safety first.
