underneath the dash, either on teh driver or passenger side, i think it has a cover that says diag. that's where you plug it in. looks like /___\ just search under the dash, you'll find it.

drivers side, near the steering column, black cover on it. stick your head under the wheel and you'll see it easy.

just follow the steering wheel underneath your dash.

it's got a clip on it.

its just to the left of the light underneath your dash.

you have to pull the clip cover off and it's right there. i just was under there today.

I thought it was under the hood near the ECU? I've seen a small box that says "Diag" in the engine bay... ?
