OBD2 connector missing

[flex]

Good news! Found a recently started up auto electrician. Ex services. All fixed. ECU fault codes cleared and full system electrical check done. Clean bill of health. Took a good while to find the OBD port. It had been deliberately removed - no idea why and was found way down deep below the carpet below the pedals. A further dig about produced the wiring loom. He’s redone the wiring into the port and put it back where it ought to be.
He agrees that someone has been mucking about with the central gateway wires. Put things right and everything reading correctly.
Happy camper
Thanks for everybody’s help and suggestions.

Glad you got it sorted. Why would someone go to the effort and do that?

the ODB socket allows naughty people to access info from the cars systems to code a blank key to one just like the owner got when it was brand new
