Question OBD II on GX?

Does the '04 GX have OBD II? If so, anyone know where the connector is? Bought an OBD II system for a laptop for the wife's Volvo 960. Has paid for itself about 10 or 15 times over.

TIA

Update: Found it. EPA requires it to be accessible from drivers seat without the use of special tools, and connectable "blindfolded with one hand". It is under lower left panel near drivers left knee.

Now need to update my software and get an RS232 to USB converter. Will let you all know how the Harrison OBDScan works on the GX.

I believe California requires OBD ll for vehicles sold in the state. Looked around the Lexus Owners site but couldn't find where the connector is located. I don't know if OBD is on all GX's or just the ones shipped to the states that require it.

OBDII is a REQUIREMENT on ALL cars sold in the USA since 1996. The connector is there.

On Board Diagnostics 2nd version. All vehicles 96 on have a common set of codes and variables to be read by a generic scan tool.

You can go to Autozone and they will scan any vehicle for free.

The Toyota one is actually a Vetronix Master tech with Toyota software. It is available on ebay.
