Thanks to all - 01 and it is on the passenger side per Utah's response. Really felt like a dummy - going on 3 years ownership and do most things myself and couldn't find the dang thing nor any mention of location in the owners manual. All good now - just got to fix a P 1457

 

often just a loose or failed gas cap.

 

A loose cap cannot set a P1457, it will set a P1456.

OBD2:
00-01 passenger side by passengers left knee, points down
02-05 drivers side next to knee panel, points left
06-09 drivers side next to knee panel, point left and back a little and is set in deeper

 

I have a 2003 euro model and it's placed on passenger side left knee area.
