OBD port location in a Honda Pilot 2nd gen

2nd gen (YF) 2009–2015

Driver's side (LHD), low under the dash directly above the pedals, just left of the steering column. The white 16-pin connector sits below the lower dash trim near the hood-release lever and faces downward, so you crouch and look up under the dash to find it. Same position on all trims (LX, EX, EX-L, Touring). This generation Pilot was sold as a North American left-hand-drive model only.
