Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me where the ODB diagnostic port is located on my Magna 97 Altera. The service manuals I have been able to find describe it as being around the fuse box on the drivers side, but despite virtually standing on my head I can seem to find it anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks.

TF don't use ODB diagnostics. ODB didn't come out til the 380 i believe but someone will correct me if i'm wrong. TF do have a diagnostic post on the left side of the steering column down near the center console .

The connector itself is an OBDII port but the protocol is a Mitsubishi proprietary one. As such ODBII scanners and readers will not work on our cars.

yeah i think your right.. coz my TJ Ralliart has one under the steering wheel but can't get my scan tool to read it (using Android app TORQUE & a bluetooth scan tool).. something to do with a different protocol (MUT-II??) and OBD not being standard till the 380
