Help identify this plug, please.

Can someone help me identify the plug under my dash just over the right side of the brake pedal? The chassis is a 2014 Ford E450. The RV is a 2015 Thor Freedom Elite.

Thx . . .

  • OBDII plug It's where you plug in to look at the various computer systems of the vehicle to help in troubleshooting
  • Get a code reader plug it in and you can monitor all engine systems as you drive. I found the "sweet spot' for fuel mileage on my Cambria to be 62 to 65

    MPH. Also IF you get a check engine light you can get the code and look it up online, this prevents being ripped off if you pay for repairs. I never leave

    home without it. Also you can clear those pesky maintenance required lights built into the odometer.

    If you've got a smartphone, you can get similar functionality for <$10 with a bluetooth reader + free OBD2 app. Cheap enough to keep one in every vehicle.


    well I ordered an ELM 327 Interface that claims it "supports all OBDII protocols " and it doesn't work. I tried just about everything. THEY claim

    you just plug it in, turn on your bluetooth and woola , well the woola was my hard earned dough flying out the window, hello.

    Another vote for a Scangauge...it paid for itself the first season with it.
