Where is the OBD port on the new Sylphy?

Behind the plastic cover under the steering wheel, you need to use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the cover to see the OBD port. The OBD port is trapezoidal in shape with a total of 16 pins, each representing different functions. Just like household sockets that connect to different appliances with varying purposes, the same principle applies here. Below is an introduction to OBD: 1. OBD is an abbreviation of a proprietary term, its full name being On-Board Diagnostics, which means the vehicle's onboard automatic diagnostic system in Chinese. 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 found, it determines the specific fault according to a specific algorithm and stores it in the system's memory in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). 2. The useful information obtained after the system's self-diagnosis can provide assistance for vehicle maintenance and repair. Maintenance personnel can use the vehicle's original factory-specific instrument to read the fault codes, thereby quickly locating the fault for vehicle repair, reducing the time required for manual diagnosis.
