Ford Ranger OBD port location

Illustration — use it to know where to look.

Location

Driver's side footwell, under the dashboard on the steering column side. In RHD markets (Australia, NZ, UK), the port is to the right of the steering column below the instrument panel, exposed or behind a small push-off cover panel without screws. Standard 16-pin OBD trapezoidal connector. Location confirmed consistent with the T6 PX3 architecture — the T6.2 retained the same cab/footwell layout. Australian launch: April 2022 (confirmed via Jefferson Ford Parts 'Ranger Next GEN 4/2022-on' product listing). UK/EU launch from 2023 model year. NOTE ON VW AMAROK NF: The NF Amarok (2022+) shares the T6.2 body-on-frame platform but uses VW/VAG interior architecture including OBD port placement per VAG convention. The Ford T6.2 Ranger OBD port location is independent of the Amarok NF and follows Ford architecture.

Location

Driver's side footwell, under the dashboard on the steering column side. In RHD markets (Australia, NZ, UK), the port is to the right of the steering column, below the instrument panel, accessible without removing trim panels. The port is a standard 16-pin OBD trapezoidal connector. Some RHD PX1/PX2 Rangers have a secondary diagnostic port placed further back behind the first — use the primary port for key programming. The port is exposed or behind a small push-off cover panel; no screws required. In LHD markets (continental Europe, Middle East) the port mirrors to the left of the steering column. Confirmed location via Klavkarr OBD2 Ford Ranger T6 (2011–) guide and Australian forum reports for the PX series.
