Diagnostic plug location

Recommended Posts

Can anybody tell me where to find the diagnostic plug location in my XF? I'm thinking of buying myself one of the plug-in diagnostic readers to allow me to check any warning lights that might crop up or cancel down any unnecessary warnings. To that end - has anybody had any experience of these DIY kits, and are they worth the money?

Cheers,

Mac

Hi

If your after one just for the odd fault code I'd have a bluetooth OBD II scan

its just a bluetooth adapter you plug in the diagnostic and then pair it up with your phone, mines a android phone and I use apps like "TORQUE" and "DASHCOMMAND"

both allow to read and reset fault codes, you can monitor most of the sensors on your engine and you can monitor and log sensors, like short term and long term fuel trims, essential to find air leaks on the engine

and the bluetooth adapter can be bought for less than a £5, software app can be installed for free off play.com

but if your after a hand held code reader, Ive seen a lot of people have the Icarsoft which is one of the best for Jaguar

cheers

Joe

I hate to be unkind but can't you do what I did with my S Type and google "OBD connector location (S Type Jaguar or whatever)"? I just did for the XF and there are pics and everything! Google is your friend people!

Hi

This is a good point

also maybe worth mentioning that most questions  have been covered in the past, and one way to find answers really fast, is to use the search bar at the top right of this page

this with search all the topics on this site and will usually find great answers with out waiting for some one to reply

cheers

Just so this does not become an "empty" destination, as who is not going to come here when google throws up this page for XF OBD location, the OBD port on a 260 model XF (2015 onwards), and I believe it is the same for model 250 XF (cars built before the changeover in 2015) although I can’t confirm, is in a RHD car just passed the trim cover under the steering wheel into the grey sound deadening material. Difficult to locate if sat in the driver’s seat so I have found it best to kneel outside with the door open and look up passed the trim into the sound deadening material and there you will find your prize, sort of centre. Watch out too, the port will rock about a bit too (about a cm) which is a little disconcerting at first when you try and connect your scanner. Can be done from the driver’s seat “blind” once you have a had a little practice!

You can try cheap OBD port connectors (say £5.00 on aliexpress/ebay/amazon) with free downloadable OBD software (do a google store search!) that works on a smartphone via bluetooth connection to get a feel for it, before you decide to invest £££ in the latest and greatest!
