Where's the OBD-II connector? I want to check my daughter's car for
stored/pending codes before she goes in for emission testing.

TIA,
Rick

I don't know the specifics concerning the Optima, but typically the
connector is located under the dash on the driver's side directly below (or
a little to the left) of the steering column.

On occasion, the connector is located under the hood near the electrical
distribution/fuse and relay box. I've only seen this once and it wasn't on
a Kia.

Thanks,

That's what I figured, but I haven't had access to the car yet, and I didn't
want to spend an entire evening looking for the darned thing.

Greetings,

For what it's worth, the location of the OBD-II connector is supposed to
standardized in the industry. If you go to Actron's website (maker of code
readers) they have a small blurb saying the same thing I told you as to
where it should be. They also have a code look-up site
(http://www.actron.com/code_lookup.php) just in case you run across a
diagnostic code that you don't have the definition for.
