I accidentally touch the remote amp wire to ground on the amp and by doing that it shut off my radio and my auto windows do not operate. When I turn on the car it does not want to go into any gears, it just stays in parking.

Hello,

Yes, it does sounds like you lost a fuse. here is a guide and the power distribution wiring diagrams to help you test the fuses and the fuse locations also there is an accessory relay I would check as well:

There is an OBD fuse that I would check first, check out the wiring diagrams for the ALDL connector so you can see how the system works.

Check out the fuse panel and ALDL wiring diagrams (Below)

OBD fuse is OK, check the power of OBD port is also OK, since OBD is directly connected to ECU for memory, I wonder why it does not respond since it is already new ECU. Check the lline an everything is ok

If diagnostic port fuse is OK, then it could be a loose/kinked/pulled wire to link. Scanner should power up when connected to port regardless of position of ignition switch. Does the dash light up when the key is on?

OBD port has several pins that I checked, I only have some based on the service manual. Like Power, GND, Signal GND. All these are OK we have 12 volts supply and to the ignition switch but not coming out so I replaced the switch and the car came back to life thanks for your help I love this site.

Hello house, I just joined. I have the same ODB2 connection problem. I have a 2006 Toyota corolla and each time I tried connecting an ODB scanner to it, I always get an "error in connection". Where do I start from?

Yes I did check the 7.5A fuse for OBD and the fuse was ok though I didn’t test with a test indicator to confirm. The metal strip in the fuse was still intact.
However the round illuminating light around the cigarette jack does not come on when I switch on my lights.
I have both the ABS and Brake check light on in the dash.

There is a 30 amp fuse in the passengers fuse panel that powers all of the systems you have mentioned.

Use the post above to see how to find and test

Hi there, finally I was able to fix the Brake and ABS dash lights all by my self at $0 cost. I just checked the integrity of the connection from the 2 front ABS sensors to where they connect with the ABS unit. Both wires were sheared so I just did a thorough termination( had the two terminals of the battery taken out first before proceeding). Connected back the battery, started the car and BINGO all lights were off.

I think the very first things we should do when trying to troubleshoot such problems are to carry out visual inspections and look out for open lines.
Thanks for your wonderful suggestions.

Nixo.

I know you said you checked the OBD fuse and it was good but does it have power?

Key on in ignition there is no check engine light coming on, fuel pump works, coils and injectors are getting power. With the no communication would this be an ECM problem?

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what is happening. Is the problem that you cannot connect via the DLC? Is the vehicle running?

Let me know.

Correct the vehicle does not run. Originally I was chasing a fuel issue but when I went to check for any engine codes via obd2 port I was unable to connect (no communication). That’s when I noticed the check engine light never illuminates with the key in the on position. The problem is the vehicle doesn’t not run and I need to get it running.

Okay, lets start at the data link connector (DLC). If you look at pic 1 below, it shows the connector. Pin 5 (brown wire) goes to ground. Confirm there is continuity to ground via that pin. Also, check pin 4 for ground. Pin 4 is chassis ground and 5 is a signal ground.

Next, pin 16 is constant 12v. Check to make sure there is power. If there isn't, check the fuse identified in pic 2.

Let me know what you find.

Joe

Using a test light I confirmed pin 4 and 5 continuity to ground. Pin 16 also had constant 12v.
