so i bought the scan tool from
Alex Peper and have used it to pull codes over the past year.
this time, however, it fails to connect. i get a "timeout, no response" message from the OBD2 software whenever i attempt it. the software is set to try all manufacturer protocols when connecting. i have changed nothing on the laptop.
i'm thinking i have two courses of action:
1) reinstall the scan tool software on the laptop
2) check for a blown fuse related to the OBD-2 port
any suggestions?
