Hum makes vehicle maintenance & repairs easy.

Hum lets you check your vehicle's diagnostics from your phone and detect problems before you hit the road. After detection, Hum provides Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and easy-to-understand descriptions so you can be on the same page as your mechanic.

It's easy to activate, change or replace your device on an existing line with My Verizon. Go to verizon.com and sign in to your My Verizon account. From your account overview, select Manage all devices. To continue changing a device on an existing line, select Activate your own device.

However, we recommend keeping your phone with you because the Hum App provides access to most Hum features, including Pinpoint Roadside Assistance, Vehicle Diagnostics, and more.

The OBD-II port is usually located under the dashboard, beneath the steering wheel column (1 - 3 in the diagram below). If not located beneath the steering column, look for the port in the areas indicated by numbers 4 - 9. For additional info, check out these Hum FAQs.
