I hooked up my code scanner to the car. It will not respond with the car. I checked my connections. I tried my scanner on a nother car. It did fine. I heard the ing. Switch might causes this problem. Any help on where to look. Thanks steve

Does your code scanner require a seperate power cord. Double check your fuses, usually when a code scanner doesnt communicate with the vehicle it means there is no power at the obd2 connector. Check the cigar lighter. Usually thats the one that causes it
