From some data I found from google search, it says above shifter and behind ashtray. IIRC, I had to take the plastic part that actually holds the ashtray out (snaps into/out of place). The connector (looks similar to 24 pin computer cable connector) on my car was affixed to the console itself behind this panel. If your's is not there, you might be able to call an emissions testing station (if they do that in your local area) or possibly find a generic repair manual (Haynes, Chilton, etc.) at your local library. Sorry, but my manual is only for the '01 CL.
