The OBD interface of the Skoda Octavia is located under the steering wheel at the fuse box position at the bottom of the car. The OBD port is situated above the brake and accelerator pedals. Detailed information about the Octavia's OBD is as follows: 1. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics. OBD-II, which emerged in the mid-1990s, is more advanced than OBD. The key difference between OBD-II and previous on-board diagnostic systems is its strict focus on emissions. OBD monitors a vehicle's emissions by tracking the powertrain and emission control systems. If there is a malfunction in the powertrain or emission control systems, it may lead to levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, or fuel evaporation pollutants exceeding set standards, at which point the malfunction indicator lamp will illuminate as a warning. 2. The OBD system can monitor the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time while the car is running. If any abnormalities are detected, it identifies specific faults based on predefined algorithms and stores them as diagnostic trouble codes in the system's memory. The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can assist in vehicle maintenance and repairs. Technicians can use the manufacturer's specialized equipment to read these fault codes, enabling quick fault localization and reducing manual diagnostic time, thereby facilitating vehicle repairs.
