Can't find OBD2 Port
 
Ok, let me start out by saying that I've googled this and watched videos and I must be just a complete moron because I absolutely cannot find where the OBD2 port is on my 2006 Vantage. If anybody can help me out please do so.....thank you!

There’s only one OBD port. The other is the body systems port.

They are both still OBD ports. The workshop manual refers to them as:

OBD II Connector (Powertrain A)
OBD II Connector (Body B)

Mine only has a single OBD-II port for both powertrain and body. It is a 2017 Bosch ECU though.

No they’re not. An OBD port can be read by any generic code reader. The body port is proprietary to the car manufacturer and there is no requirement that OBD readers must be able to access it. Just because the connectors are OBD compliant does not make it an OBD port

OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) contain 1 letter and 4 numbers, and are divided into the following categories:
  • B – Body (includes air conditioning and airbag) (1164 codes)
  • C – Chassis (includes ABS) (486 codes)
  • P – Powertrain (engine and transmission) (1688 codes)
  • U – Network (wiring bus) (299 codes)

It's On Board Data port. Some are for engine/ emissions/powertrain codes... other are body,, chassis and network codes.

Generic code readers can read engine and emissions codes...
