Z68 connector (OBD) hidden in dash. Where?

Am trying to colve a problem with AC stuck in limp mode and need to find the Z68 connector as I think it way help diagnose it

WIS shows it in the dash top center right of the AC vents. See Picture below

I have the center console removed but cannot see it. Any ideas where it is?

It appears that I it my be under the top of the dash (which I can find no way to remove) but that makes no sense, who would put an OBD connector in such an inaccessible place

Hopefully someone has come across this and can point me in the right direction to find it

thanks in advance

Am I missing something??

cannot see anything relevant on 13, unless there should be more pages

If it helps I do think the Z68 connector may have over 10 pins (though not sure)
