Hey all I am new to the Mitsu world and picked up a 97 eclipse Rs for $650 back in july. It runs perfectly, every thing works. The reason I am posting on here is the Check engine light is on, I go to plug my OBD2 scanner into it and it will not connect as if it were not pluged in at all. I can't read the code or erase it at all! I verified the connection on the port and it was snug, also I hooked the scanner up to my camaro and it lit right up no problem, So that narrows the issue to the port.It seems to me that its not getting any power to the plug. Anyone have any Ideas? Blown fuse?

 

Anyone have any Ideas.The portworked fine a few months ago when the Check engine light came on for the TPS! what could this Be? I hate not being able to figure it out lol. I put a test light to pin 16 and was showing no power at all with ignition on.

 

Check the ecu connectors. If the wires were pulled taunt for some reason the may have pulled the pins away from the ecu, hence not allowing the connection to be made. The easiest fix for it is to pull the ecu connectors, push the wire into the harness then hot glue the back of the connector to keep the pins from moving when you reinstall the harness.

 

If you have no power at pin 16 @ the dlc check your fuses.

 

oh_what_up You mean the under hood connections correct, I'll Check that out today. Pin 16 is def getting no juice. so Im up for anything at this point I appreciate the Help, its been a great car besides this one litte issue.

 

Any Idea which fuse in particular? under hood or under dash? I checked the under dash ones and they all seemed to light up.

 

How did you check the fuses?

 

I used a test light on them
