The OBD-II port is most commonly located:

  • Under the dashboard on the driver's side

  • Beneath the steering wheel column

  • Near the driver's left knee when seated

Alternative Locations

If you can't find the port in the main locations above, check these areas:

  • Centre console area

  • Near the gear shifter

  • Under the dashboard on the passenger side

  • Behind panels near the driver's feet

  • Check your owner's manual - it should show the exact location for your vehicle make and model.

  • Use online resources - vehicle-specific databases can help locate the port for your exact car.

What Does it Look Like?

The OBD-II port is a standardised 16-pin connector, usually black or dark colored, about the size of a large USB port but wider.
