Where is the 1991 Jeep Cherokee OBD port location?
I’ve inherited an old Jeep from my dad and it needs some fixing up, but I have no idea what I’m doing with an older car like this. Can you tell me where to find the OBD port on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee?

You must be pretty skilled in DIY maintenance and
car repair
if your dad entrusted you with his old Jeep, but it’s definitely not as easy on a car this old. You can still find an OBD port location on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, though probably not the one you want. Instead of the current OBD-II style port, the ‘91 Cherokee only comes with an OBD-I port.The OBD-I port is located beneath the dash, but it’s completely different from an OBD-II port. If you connect an OBD-I scanner, your 1991 Cherokee’s

will flash in a pattern that acts as the diagnostic codes.OBD-II scanners weren’t standardized until 1996, but the
classic Jeep Cherokee
is a bit of an exception—OBD-II technology and port locations were added to this make in 1992, but that won’t help you much for a 1991 model.Unless you’re well-versed in

technology, you’re probably better off taking your car to a mechanic
to get a professional diagnosis. Who knows? Someone may just be willing enough to take you under their wing and give you a lesson in OBD-I diagnostics!
