Since he is a nice robot, he dislikes it when you steal items, kill innocent people, and anything disruptive in general.

Codsworth Location Guide

Go to to Sanctuary Hills After Leaving Vault 111

Map Overview
Fallout 4 - Sanctuary Hills Location
Overworld View
Fallout 4 - Codsworth in Sanctuary Hills

Codsworth can be found in Sanctuary Hills after leaving Vault 111. This is the same residential area where you, your spouse, and Shaun used to live during the tutorial phase of the game.

Once in the ruined Sanctuary Hills, Codsworth will ask you to go to Concord where you will meet Preston as part of the When Freedom Calls quest. After meeting Preston, return to Codsworth and he will become available to be your companion.

NOTE: You do not have to complete the When Freedom Calls quest. Simply killing all raiders inside the Museum of Freedom and meeting up with Preston will be enough to unlock Codsworth as a companion.
