Where is the diagnostics port?

    Various sources have reckoned that the diagnostics port on our UK
    specification, right hand drive '99 Accord LS is under the carpet in the
    passenger footwell.

    Not in ours, at least, I've pulled back the carpet and found no such
    diagnostics port, on an assumption that it looks like the normal OBD-II port
    of course.

    Can anybody tell me where the wretched thing is? It's a European Accord, so
    *not* the same as the American one... :-/

    Here's a document of the PDI for an American '03 Accord:

    Maybe it will help somebody, if not yourself.

    In North America the location of the connector is standardized, and
    you'd hope it was in Europe too.

    Why not search google and look through some of the sites for OBDII
    scanners and see where they say your port is? If you've got a scanner,
    it should be explained in the instructions, or at least on the
    manufacturer's web site . .

    id try under the lip of the dashboard, on both sides. maybe near the
    center console? probably facing straight down, and looks like a
    trapezoid? rhomboid?

    Yeah, I had a look. Must have looked pretty funny hanging half out of the
    car, upside down, this morning...

    Yup; it should be... unfortunately I bought my solution from a US based
    company, which details the US Accord.

    Then again...

    The current Honda Accord is sold as an Acura in the US, so perhaps I could
    look for the '99 Acura saloons...?

    I own a 99 Accord. The port is located on the driver's side. It under the
    dash board--near the far left side of the car--use a flashlite.

    In the US, a chain of do-it-yourself auto parts houses will check codes for
    you, for free. Maybe the same is true in your area.
    I suppose you could ask one where the connector is, or even have them check
    the codes while you watch ;-)
