Where is the OBD port of Haima S5?
3 Answers
The OBD port of Haima S5 is located inside the storage compartment below the left side of the steering wheel. After opening the storage compartment, lift the cover of the storage compartment upwards with force, and remove the cover to see the OBD interface. Taking the 2019 Haima S5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4418mm, width 1823mm, height 1630mm, wheelbase 2630mm, front track 1540mm, rear track 1545mm, and curb weight 1380kg. The 2019 Haima S5 has a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 122PS, maximum power of 90kW, maximum torque of 160Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Haima S5 for three years and remember the OBD port location clearly. It's right below the steering wheel on the left side - just move your legs slightly forward while seated and look down to spot it. That black rectangular port is diagonally inserted under the dashboard, positioned slightly higher than the brake pedal and not far from the fuse box. Once when using a scanner, the steering wheel blocked my view, but adjusting the seat backward made it easy to locate. Some friends waste time searching near the glovebox area, but actually this car's OBD is right at the driver's knee position - a standard 16-pin connector with slightly raised edges you can feel. Remember to clean dust from the port - last time I had contact issues that prevented reading fault codes.
As a technician who has repaired dozens of Haima S5s, I can find this port blindfolded. It's located above the driver's left leg, at the opening of the dashboard plastic cover, about 10 cm from the steering column. Just bend down and you'll see the black trapezoidal port hidden there. Some owners complain about the tricky location during modifications, but this design actually prevents accidental contact. Don't turn on the dome light when searching - shining a flashlight above the accelerator pedal makes it easiest to spot. Just two days ago, a customer couldn't find it until discovering the port behind the steering wheel adjustment lever. This generation of Haima models all have standardized OBD port locations - the S5 and Knight models are basically identical.
