I just got the OBDII cables from scantool.net however the OBDII port in the car doesn't give power, anyone has any experience on this? I got the ISO version

Thanks

You have the key in the "ON" position right?

yeah, the car has to be on for you to be able to read codes...8D

I'm assuming that this is one of the ones you hook up to a pc, right? If you have used a serial to usb converter, it generally helps to have everything hooked up and the car turned on before you turn on the computer.

I was taught with my scantools that starting the engine was a bad idea. I thought you were only supposed to have the key on, ignition off?
