Receptacle for OBD scan tool

[lincolncrawler]

Does anyone know where the receptacle to plug in the scan tool on an 2002 Georgetown 325 is located?

In my case it's right at the steering column close to the floor but my unit is a 2007, but should be in the same general area.

Gentelmen, I am showing my ignorance a bit but I must ask:

OBD = On-board Diagnostics - the tool allows you to check codes in the computer if say the check engine light is on or brake light is on the dash

Commonly known as a "Code Reader"

I still can't find the plug in. It is definitely not around the steering column. I think I have a coil pack down on my V10, the engine is missing at around 2000 RPM's.

Thank you for answering my question. I find that I learn a lot from this forum. I review it almost daily.

Again, Thanks

Sorry but what I thought was the port is not. There's a small black box to the right of my steering column with a cap that I can't get off. I doubt it would have a cover but I can't find it either.

Ok now it's personal. I forced my fat butt down there and guess what I found. The port is on the right side of the steering column attached to a bracket. It's about knee height and just under the dash. It has a black cap over it that reads "CONNECTOR" there's a blue outline behind it.


I popped off the cap and there it is.



So I hope this solves the mystery for everyone. I need a beer!!!!!

Plug was in the same place, with the same cap on it, on my 2008 350DS. However I had to remove a kick panel at knee height just under the steering steering wheel to get access to it.

I had the service engine soon light come on. Code reader says PO132 & PO152; O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 & Bank 2 Sensor 2.

Service manual says that the only thing that will cause this is a short to positive voltage in the cable. Since it's happening on both it would have to be higher up in the cable.

I examined both upstream O2 sensors and wiring. No obvious damage anywhere.

So I cleared it in hopes that it was a fluke. Wish me luck.

Looks like Forrest River needs to keep up with the Ford TSBs. That is a shipping location and the motorhome builder is supposed to move it . Check out https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-html/Q-178.pdf

On the new coaches, they relocated it to the exact spot where you foot or knee hits it every time you get in or out of the driver's seat.
I knocked the cover (and some skin) off several times before I "re-relocated" it up under the dash.
