OBD2 port?

Is there an OBD2 port on the W205 .. and if so, can someone tell me where?
My yellow engine check light came on yesterday and hasn't gone off since, but there's no other messages.

I've got an OBD2 scanner and was looking to plug it in to see if I could get any fault codes out of the car but can't find a port.

On left hand drive vehicles it's under the dash, from where the parking brake release is follow further under, near the hood release, there's a "cover" on it, just pop it off. I would think it would be mirrored on right hand drive vehicles.

Did you check that your gas cap was tight? That's a common error and easy fix.

Aaargh.. never mind, I found it (hiding behind a cover).
I've managed to get a P229F code from the reader.
Looks like a trip to the dealer tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip .. helps to get a torch out to look for the darn thing.
Yea gas cap is on solid - didn't run it out of fuel either, which was one of the items listed in the manual for the light.

Sounds like a TPS issue (Throttle Position Sensor) on the pedal. Dual channel Hall sensor.

Nope... turned out to be a failed NOX sensor in the cat converter. It got swapped out today. Hopefully that's it now until next service (he says with fingers crossed).

I had the same fault in April. Yellow light came on and it was the NOx sensor. I had 13000 km on odometer.

Then it stored the wrong code. Strange! Benz does have some proprietary codes but that code is supposed to be in the general OBD area.

Could have just been my old reader Glyn .. it's a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle; (using TORQUE on Android to interface) which I've had for a few years. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not up to task of diagnosing the W205 techno-Wunderkind .

[Edit].. seems like this lines up though..

Ok, I found it. Anyone else looking for it in a right hand drive Mercedes C Class Coupe 2016 onwards should find it quite a long way back (beyond the bonnet release) and a little to the left. Mine didn't have a cover, but I guess that could be because a garage damaged it at some point.
