Where is the Mitsubishi Mirage’s OBD port location?
My son’s Mitsubishi Mirage’s Check Engine light just came on. It’s a brand-new car, so I’m confused about why there would be an issue. Where is the OBD port located so I can run a diagnostic on it?

Sorry to hear that you’re having car trouble! The OBD port location in a
Mitsubishi Mirage
is on the driver’s side, under the dashboard, and above the brake pedal.You probably already know that the Onboard Diagnostics II (OBD-II) port is a **universal connector that provides access to the Mitsubishi Mirage’s internal computer **. To run a diagnostic on the vehicle, you’ll need an
OBD-II scan tool
. If you don’t have one handy, your best bet is to take the car to a trusted mechanic to run the test. If you do have an OBD-II scan tool, follow these instructions to run a self-diagnostic on your son’s Mirage:
- Plug the scan tool into your OBD port
- Power on the scan tool and turn the ignition in the Mirage
- Press “Scan” on the scan tool and follow the directions on the screen
And, voila! Within seconds, the scanner should provide you with a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to help you get to the bottom of the Mirage’s car trouble. All scanners work differently, so you’ll want to read and follow your scanner’s instructions carefully. Best of luck!
