Escape Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Tried to hook up the Rovacom to a mates DII yesterday to research/reset some errors. But for the life of us, we couldn't locate the diagnostic/OBDII socket. The manual says onder dashboard facia, driver's side. Rovacom says near steering column (which would be the same spot as the manual states). Car is LHD, not sure of the manual refers to LHD or RHD. But nothing to be found, neither driver's nor passenger side... THX, Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 No idea on LHD but on a RHD it is in the drivers footwell panel (the black plastic panel above the footwell) immediately above where your left foot would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 It should be where BogMonster said, only mirrored on a LHD. It should be above the accelerator pedal, close to where the left lower edge of the dash meets the center console, right under the hinge of the fuse box compartment door. On the other hand, is that a V8? 'Cause I've heard of a LHD 2000 V8 auto D II without the diagnostic socket where it was supposed to be. No idea if the owner ever found it, didn't hear from him since. So what year, what engine, which spec D II (is it NAS, Gulf, Japan ...)?

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll check again next time I see the car, but don't recall anything resembling a socket under the dash... Car is a 2000 (I think) TD5 manual, continental spec.

Escape Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Got my hands on a different D2 yesterday, and had no trouble locating the socket, but pretty sure I didn't find it in that position on the other car. It was pretty lose, and I had to remove the panel under the dash to hold it in place. So I'll check for a lose socket next time I see Michel's car.

BogMonster Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I forgot to mention that the tabs on the socket often break off and the socket in this case will be somewhere down behind the hole in the panel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I finally found the bugger! It was hidden behind the carpet in the driver's footwell... Once we got to it clearing those annoying faults was easy. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
