Like all cars, the Elise is fitted with an On board diagnostic, or OBD, connector (socket) tucked away in the passenger foot well.
This can be used to communicate with the cars ECU for retrieving diagnostic information, resetting the MIL or viewing live engine parameters.
The standard is also referred as: -
- ODB2
- ODB-2
- ODBII
- ODB-II
DIY
It is quite simple to connect to the cars ECU yourself.
