Where is the OBD port of Alto located?

OBD interface is located in a black box next to the car engine, which is a 16-pin connector plug used to connect external diagnostic systems. Introduction to OBD: OBD, On-Board Diagnostics. This system can monitor the working conditions of the engine electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real time during operation. If any abnormal conditions are found, it will determine the specific fault according to a specific algorithm and store it in the system memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Assistance for vehicles: The useful information obtained after system self-diagnosis can provide help for vehicle maintenance and repair. Maintenance personnel can use the original factory-specific instrument to read the fault codes, so as to quickly locate the fault, facilitate vehicle repair, and reduce the time of manual diagnosis.
I often use the OBD port while driving. In the Alto model, the OBD port is usually hidden in the area below the driver's seat, to the left of the steering wheel, near the position above the brake pedal. You need to squat down and look carefully to find a small rectangular port, which is convenient for connecting a diagnostic scanner to read vehicle data, such as engine fault codes or fuel efficiency information. If you can't find it, check near the passenger footwell or below the center dashboard, but most Alto models have it on the left side. I recommend operating after the car is turned off—safety first, to avoid accidental electric shock. The location is generally fixed, so no need to worry about it shifting and affecting daily use.
