After our family and homes our cars have been the most looked after belonging we have ever cared about. Yet have we ever taken a moment to think about how well do we really know our cars? Where are they right now? Are they in safe hands? Are they being looked after properly?
What if I told you that there was no need to worry about your car anymore and that now if absolutely anything happens to your car, you will be the first to know. Your car is no longer a clunky piece of metal on wheels but a treasure trove of information. All this is possible because your car has a secret port. This secret port is know as the OBD port, short for On-Board Diagnostics.
So, what is this OBD port?
The OBD port can be defined as a sort of computer that can monitor your car’s fuel efficiency, speed, emissions and other useful behavioral data. The OBD port is found in every car manufactured in India from 2008 and quite a few models manufactured before that. It’s a standard port found not only in cars in India, but all over the world!
The OBD port is usually located under the dashboard, mostly somewhere below the steering wheel. It has the ability to register problems with the vehicle way before the driver begins to notice them and acts as a gateway to understand your car better. This is also the same port that your mechanic uses to scan the car when you take it to the workshop for servicing.
