Hi Melvin, the connector is located to the right of the steering column, but my book shows it as a 16 pin eobd plug, but if you short pin6 to earth the fault light will flash in code which relates to the fault but some models this will not work and reqiures a diagnostic reader, if you contact me on nige110162@hotmail.co.uk I will mail you the fault code meanings
