johnceggleston Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 look on http://opposedforces.com/parts probably in the wiring diagrams in the US it is located above the hood release, on the dash - sort of, below the air vent and mirror adjust?, on the edge right next to the door. there is a small hinged cover.

Yep, above is a good description of where to hook up the reader. The only problem is I have had trouble getting a code reading, if the CEL turned itself off. I am thinking the CEL needs to be lit, so a code can be read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recian Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not always. Just because the light is off the ecm will store a "history" code until it reaches its 40 key cycles then deletes the code. Since obd2 codes are 2 trip logic the problem must be stored. If it happens 2x within 40 ignition cycles it turns the light on. It will turn the light off as it sees fit depending on whether its transmission related or emissions related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
