Where is the 2016 Subaru Forester OBD port location?
Where is the 2016 Subaru Forester OBD port location? I bought an OBD scanner but I can’t figure out where it plugs in!

The 2016
Subaru Forester
OBD port location is a little more hidden from view than the typical OBD port, but you’ll still find it in the driver’s area of the cabin.Most vehicles’ OBD ports can be found on the lower portion of a vehicle’s dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel. The 2016
Subaru
Forester’s OBD port location is more underneath the left side of the dashboard. A good amount of wiring and other electrical components surround it, which makes it blend in even more, but nothing else is plugged into it, which could help you distinguish it from the parts around it.OBD scanners can be real time and money savers. If the error code(s) it displays are connected to problems you can fix, you can cut down on your
routine maintenance
and car repairs
costs. On the other hand, if it detects more serious issues, it can give you a better idea of what to expect when you bring your vehicle into the repair shop.If you’re still unable to find your 2016 Subaru Forester OBD port location, you could ask your go-to mechanic to show it to you the next time you bring it in for service.
Useful as they are, one thing that an OBD scanner won’t be able to catch are gaps in your
car insurance
coverage—so be sure to periodically review your policy to make sure your vehicle still has the protection it needs!View full answer
