Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross OBD port location

Location

Driver's footwell. Reach up under the lower lip of the dashboard directly above and slightly forward of the brake pedal, tucked in towards the steering column — the 16-pin socket faces downwards and rearwards, so you find it by crouching and looking up, not from the driver's seat. It sits inboard of the small fuse-block lid on the left end of the dash; that lid is the interior fuse box, not an OBD cover, so don't waste time prising it. Same position on every North American trim (ES, SE, SEL, NOIR, GT) — trim only changes the blank switch positions on the lower panel around it. In the factory wiring this is connector C-143, sitting on the same instrument-panel harness run as the driver's knee airbag connector, which is why the airbag module is what your knuckles find first.
