    My 2006 Frontier, same problem. Power, no communcation with DMV. Told by garage today they found that a pin in the Data Link Communicator, or the OBD2, needed tightening, when they t4ried to plug one into the other, the pin wasn't making contact where it should. I was told they tightened this one pin, probably #16 which is the communicator pin from what I've read. So that is the problem I had. It is fixed, as of today. Happened last year too.

  • @briankennedy5578

    Every video I've found on obd2 not connecting has the same outcome. Very basic and of no help. Connector pin drag test was first thing I thought of. And huge problem with anything that has a connector. And there are the ones that find a blown fuse. That is eliminated when the scanner powers up. Got power. Got ground. Pins are tight. No data. Can bus voltages seem to be right, from what I can tell. But checking resistance between two canbus wires finds no continuity. Could be due to no access to get good connection. Not even sure what sort of system/network a 2000 xkr has. Can't find hardly any info about it. Go chasing after can bus likely has nothing to do with actual concern. Just need to get codes and read data

      I have a 2003 hummer H2, unknown driver, half the electronics don’t work. I have replaced the ECM and BCM both were programmed, relearned procedure done. I plug my cheap diagnostic tool in the OBD port. It gives me only the volts which are good and then it cannot communicate with the rest. Just asking your opinion before I take it to a shop, do you think it could be a wire in the OBD port. They seem to look good . The unknown driver is what the problem is .I can see you get so many questions on here, I have just worked on this for like six months and stuck.
