406 - location of OBD connector

Hi everyone, greetings from Italy

I just bought a 406 St Sport 2.2 hdi, brand new.

does anyone know where is located the OBD connector (the one for electronic
diagnosis)?
and if it's OBD or OBDII compliant?

thank you very much indeed

16 pin socket is located behind trim panel to the right of steering wheel
in the lower dash panel. There are 2 covers (or 1 switch and a cover) the
diagnostic cover has a small cutout at the top to lever out with a small
screwdriver. It is OBDII compatible but VERY limited. Diag 2000 or PPS
(dealer equipment) is only way to get into all systems (as far as I know).
Good luck,
Paul.

 

thank you, got the socket!

have you ever tryied to connect? or have the software?

 

Beware that presence of OBD connector does not mean the vehicle speaks OBD.
Mine is S reg early '98 with an OBD connector but I cannot get it to respond
using the Scantool/Elm Electronics kit (www.scantool.net). Probings with a
scope suggest it is not responding to the initial ISO-9141 wake up call at
all. IIRC Europe did not require OBD until 2000.

I did try to use the Peugeot web site to post a request for confirmation of
this and got the following unhelpful reply:

ISO-9141-2 to them
