...Where is my ODB port?

[Fredrick2003]

I wont lie, I am pretty new to automotives in general. I have been reading online and in books for months and I think sometime I may be ready to actually add something to my car or do something to boost performance or something of that nature. I do not have anything planned really.

But I was looking at these diagrams (both online and in books) of a 2001 Toyota Camry LE (the car I am working with right now) and they all show the ODB port either underneath the streering wheel, or underneath the radio, or some place like that. But on my car I see no such thing. I even tried removing the uhh... hmm... you know... stuff that covers the steering wheel and radio and stuff to see if it was underneath all that, but I still couldn't find anything.

So umm... I really don't even know what an ODB port is for (except I know some of my mechanic friends use it diagnosing problems) but I see lots of things that are able to connect to them, and I was just wondering where I could find mine... I really did to research, so don't think I am just too lazy to figure this out for myself, I really really tried .

I'm not sure about a 2001, but in the gen 3's they were behind the coin tray.

Not sure if this applies to u but on my 2000 camry, there is a white rectangle port that is underneath the steering wheel (no need to remove panels). If you cant find it go to your local autozone and see if they know, since they offer free odb diagnostics when you have a check engine light.
