Is there an OBD connector on the Alphard 2003? If so, where is it? I need to check out an engine warning light?

 

Thanks

Thanks for that. Found it but unfortunately my cheap AutoLink device doesn't connect electronically. I have found posts on here describing difficulties finding a suitable scanner. As the warning light goes off after a while I'm going to assume it's just a non-serious sensor problem.

What you need is a scanner with the JOBD proocol e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293956397780

OK. But I read an earlier thread where someone tried one of those - and several others - without success.

How sure can I be that it will work with our 2003 2.4L Alphard?
