Make sure your OBD2 port has power... if it doesn't, some scantools will not work at all...

incorrect about scantool not working without power. that only includes scan tools that do not have their own power source. PM if you want to know where to bring it in atlanta.

When you turn your key to the ON position, do you get dummy lights? CEL and all that other good stuff?

that is exactly what I said - some scan tools require power... most of the cheapies pull their power from the OBD2 port, as well as bluetooth scanners and others...

so, it is correct, you don't have to be arrogant...
