DB7 vantage diagnostics

[kingstanding]

Does anyone know if the DB7 Vantage has an OBD diagnostics port and if so where it’s located?

Under the footwell you will see 2 ports side by side. In some years the ports are under the drivers side, and other years they are under the passenger side. One port is for the engine module, and the other port is for the body which includes things like abs, airbags, park assist etc.

Thanks but are you sure your description relates to the Vantage 12 cylinder rather than the previous 6 cylinder? I have looked extensively in both footwells and can’t see any ports.

Have now found it by removing one of the footwell panels. Many thanks!

Hi Kingstanding, what OBD reader did you use, and did you find the OBD socket in the drivers or passengers foot well. I have a 2004 DB7 engine warning light comes on intermittently and dealer cannot find fault. It's throwing a code for fuel pressure but pumps have been tested and pressure is well within tolerances. Rather than having to take back to dealer every time the light comes on I want to be able to re-set on my own. Any help appreciated!

Hi. I bought the reader on eBay. Here's the link:

My understanding of the DB7 if it predated the steering wheel airbag it will not have an OBD port. If it has an airbag it has an OBD port.

Hope this helps.

Yes and if you have diagnostic equipment that covers all makes and systems, using a Jaguar program will usually access the airbags, ABS and gearbox (some). There are 2 16 pin diagnostic ports, one above the other in airbag cars: one does the engine (Ford EECV), the other does the rest.
