How to correctly identify the OBD2 connector model on the vehicle?
Here are some methods to correctly identify the OBD2 connector model on a vehicle:
Refer to the vehicle user manual: The vehicle's user manual usually includes instructions on the location and model of the OBD2 connector. You can follow the instructions in the manual to find the connector and learn about its related information.
Observing the appearance of the connector: OBD2 connectors are usually trapezoidal 16 pin connectors.
Check pin definition: The pins of the OBD2 connector have clear definitions, and professional testing tools such as multimeters can be used to measure the voltage, resistance, and other parameters of the pins to determine whether they meet the standards of the OBD2 connector.
Use diagnostic equipment: If possible, professional OBD2 diagnostic equipment can be used to connect the vehicle's OBD2 connector. The diagnostic equipment will automatically recognize the model of the connector and relevant information of the vehicle, and display it on the device screen. If the diagnostic device can successfully connect and read vehicle information, it can be determined that the connector is an OBD2 connector.
Consulting professionals: If you are unsure about identifying the OBD2 connector model, you can consult professionals from car dealerships and repair shops for assistance and advice.
