Where is the OBD2 port located on the Emgrand GS?
1 Answers
The OBD2 port of the Emgrand GS is located in a concealed area on the left side near the base of the steering column on the driver's side. To find it, open the driver's door, crouch outside the vehicle, and bend down to look under the dashboard. Definition of OBD: As an abbreviation for a proprietary term, its full name is OnBoard Diagnostics, which means: On-Board Diagnostic System. 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 detected, it determines specific faults based on specific algorithms and stores them in the system's memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can assist in vehicle maintenance and repair. Technicians can use the vehicle's original factory-specific instruments to read the fault codes, enabling quick fault localization to facilitate vehicle repairs and reduce manual diagnostic time. How OBD Works: The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensors, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc. OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which has the capability to detect and analyze emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes and issues a warning through the malfunction indicator light to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.
