Trouble reading codes with the AP
Hi guys,
Was driving to work today and the SES light popped on. Figured I would just read the code with my accessport when I got to work. When I parked and I went to the main menu of the AP, scrolled to troubleshoot and clicked it. It thinks for a little bit and then goes back to the main menu. I tried a couple more times and the same thing. So I shut off the car, made sure the AP powered off, then turned it back on and tried again. No luck. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is the AP acting up? I was pretty sure I should be able to read the codes with it.

Yeah I was able to pull the code with a Bluetooth dongle I had in my other car...I was just under the impression I should be able to pull it with the Cobb AP too

I use my Accessport all the time (unfortunately) to read and clear codes.
One thing I noticed is if you have a splitter from your OBD2 port, it has trouble communicating. Make sure to connect it directly to the port.
