OBD2 connector (plug)

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.

***EDIT BY YVOTUK: This is only valid for the Elise S2/Exige S2. The Elise S1 and Exige S1 is equipped with a similar connector, but this connector is NOT ODB compatible! ***
