Car Scan Tool Not Communicating

I have tried my scantool before and worked like a charm.

Today i got in the car and the air con was set on 3 and i could not stop it. I tried turning the car off and then on and the same thing. I turned the car off again then I was able to switch the air con off but the check engine light remained on while driving.

Got home and turned the car off and on again and the light stayed on. I went and got my scan tool to see what the issue was but the scan tool now is not communicating with my car at all. Not sure if the wires on the harness is not working although the last time i checked the car with the tool it worked fine.

Any ideas if there is a fuse that may be impeding the communication because it's burnt?

Thanks

Cristian

Chris,

Checked the fuse box in the drivers side and they are all intact.. any other ideas?

Further info... after my last post when i got on the car the next day, the check engine light did not stayed on and was fine until today. this arvo it lit up and has stayed on. tried the scan tool again and once again not connection. Checked the fuses on the drivers and all ok.

Last sunday my left headlight blew (hid standard) and the rear lights didnt work unless the brake was presssed. checked the fuse box at the rear of the battery and a 15amp fuse was blown, i replaced that and everything was ok until the check engine light came up on wednesday.

At a loss as to why there is no comm between the car and the scan tool...

and one more thing my radio has been cutting out at times, got the mp3 player connected but once in a while the AUX bit does not light up for a few seconds then comes back on...i think i have gremlins in my car...

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
