Installing the GO10 Plus

Install and validate the GO10 Plus device using the vehicle's OBD-II port and harness.

1. Locate OBD-II port and free connector

Locate the vehicle's engine diagnostic (OBD-II) port, typically found in the driver-side footwell. For certain vehicles, panels may need to be removed to access the OBD-II port.

Pull the OBD-II port out and detach its connector from its mounting location on the dash. Depending on the vehicle, it might be fastened to the dash via screws or a clip/snap mechanism.OBD-II port located in a vehicle's driver-side footwell

Choose the adapter from the kit that most closely matches the original port.

Once you have the adapter, slide it onto the short harness until you hear it click securely. If it doesn't click, flip the adapter and try again.
