Where is the OBD port located on a 2013 Ford F-150?
I’m just starting to get into car repair as a hobby, so I bought my first OBD scanner. I want to try it out on my truck, but can’t find the port! Where is the OBD port located on a 2013 Ford F-150?

, you should look under your dashboard, beneath the steering wheel column. If you don’t see it right away, try crouching down outside your driver’s side door or using a flashlight to get a better view.Here’s a short list of some trouble codes that might appear on your scanner:
- P0300: There’s a problem with your engine’s spark plugs, ignition coils, or wiring.
- P0420: Your catalytic converter is malfunctioning.
- P1100: The mass airflow sensor is damaged or the wiring is defective.
- P1148: The wiring in your alternator is damaged.
- P117A: Your engine is overheating.
- P1221: There’s a traction control system malfunction.
- P1432: The thermostat heater or wiring is failing.
- P1500: Your speed sensor is malfunctioning.
- P1700: There’s a problem with your transmission system.
- P1889: Your drivetrain axles are damaged.
Of course, this is far from an exhaustive list of OBD scanner codes—there are hundreds of possibilities! Make sure you always cross-check your codes with a handy code book or trustworthy online sources. You can also consult your truck’s owner’s manual for a short list of possible error codes.
