my obd2 wont connect to any hand held scanner's. ive been suggested its not getting power to the obd port and possible an accesorry fuse?

any ideas/ suggestions?

 

Check your fuses one blown or you removed it thinking it wasn't important

 

Check for a pushed out pin in the connector then check for a blown fuse.

 

any fuse will effect this? or a certain one?

 

On GMs the lighter fuse blows and the OBD tool wont work. Im not sure but it might be the same on ours

 

Normally, when we have issues with Evoscan, (I know that's not what you're doing here) the battery is low and either needs to be charged or replaced.

 

car was running just b4 i tried to scan it, i have a mini battery,but its started just fine in our negative degree weather so far

 

Doesn't matter. My car would start right up and "appear" to have no issues but I couldnt get Evoscan to work no matter what I tried. I put the car on a battery charger while i was trying to communicate with the OBD II port and it worked fine. Replaced the battery the next day.

It sounds like your battery.

 

interesting, il try a charger when i hook it up and see what happens

 

let us know

 

try and use a "trickle" charge for dry cell batteries if you can find someone with that may have one or if you have one

 

tried scanning with a charger on battery, still no connection. also used a test light and checked every fuse in car and under hood. and the obd2 port is getting power.. but not connecting to any scanner used.

could the previous tuner or version of tephra used somehow effect this?

 

or possibly the center ground wires need grounded better?

 

Random, but maybe a normal scanner wont read because you have a tephra mod?

 

Il have to borrow a tactic cable from my friend to see if Evo scan will work
