99 TL OBD Port vs. 2003 TL-S

I did a quick search, but, couldn't find anything obvious.

I have a 2003 TL-S and the OBDII port is under the dash. My friend with a 99 TL just called me and said her "Engine" light came on. Is the port and location the same as my 2003?

I have a OBDII scanner that I use on my Exploder, M3, and TL-S but before I ask her to make the trek over to my place I'd figure I'd ask you all first.

Thanks!

I have apparently gravitated to cars with bad automatic transmissions. The 03 TL-S is on #2. The Ford ExpoRer is on tranny #3 - hence why it was christened the ExploDer....

And I'll just add that the port is hidden behind a plastic panel that can be easily pulled out. I just accessed my OBDII port the other day in order to clear one of those "gas cap off" triggered engine codes.
