Location of the OBD Diagnostic Socket

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Control unit

If you need to perform a fault memory check with a diagnostic tool, the first step is to locate the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) socket: almost all diagnostic tools, once the make and model of the vehicle are selected, indicate the position of the OBD socket within the cabin; in this vehicle, the socket is located behind a small cover situated at the bottom left of the dashboard on the driver's side, just next to the bonnet release lever: simply open this cover to access the socket and connect the diagnostic interface.
