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...

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
