John tarantula Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 not sure if I'm losing the plot here but had a quick look for my OBD socket and it appears there isn't one? Had a look for it under the fuel cap opener button?? there's a hole but no connector? Unless I'm being really stupid and looking in the wrong place? I think the car is an import if that makes a difference? pics of offending hole here: Quote
Dblock Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Im not sure where it is either, but Im sure JDM's use Jobd and obd wont read the codes. Quote
John tarantula Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 I'd read about the JOBD but wanted to check it was there before buying a throttle controller but not point having one if there's nothing to plug it into! Quote
rodgeevans Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Cant confirm location but when my CEL came on recently i took it down to my local indepentant garage the plugged the obd reader in and it read the code straight away. Quote
jumping350 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 it looks like the socket isnt there to me, i got a jdm and mine is were your hole is basically from what i can see, ive got a throttle controller and plugged mine in no problem its quite in your face when you know what your looking for should be there but isnt, was that hole there orginially when you got car??maybe it fell inside?

John tarantula Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 OK thanks guys, looks like it's missing in action!!! there's nothing dangling around the back nearby that could reach the hole? very strange! will have to take the plastic off and have a look at everything behind incase it's been hidden or tucked away! Job for the weekend i think... Quote
John tarantula Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 ...well had th splastic off all around that area and no loose or dangling wires / sockets?? has any kind soul got any pics of that area, mroe specifically where the wires from the back of their OBD socket go to incase that helps?

R35LEE Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I have loads of spare looms mate in case someone has cut yours off (OBD plug). However I think it will be there somewhere so give me a call and I will talk you through what to remove. PM sent Quote
