CEL but cant scan!
Monday, April 23, 2007 7:08 PM
So after I installed my Hahn stage II kit about 3 weeks ago, my check engine light has been on. Well I tried to scan it the other day

and when we plugged it up nothing would show up. We turned the key forward, plugged in the scanner, but the scanner never came on.

So I tried another scanner and the same thing happened. I need to know what the codes are and also doesn't HPT plug into your

OBDII port also? So I won't be able to get tuned?

I have a MAC code reader it will turn on with out the key on. In order to erase codes or check data the key must be in the run position.
Isn't boost fun!!!!!!

When you get it working, let me know what codes you have.
What kind of scaner are you using?

it could be more as well if that fuse trick doesnt work check your grounds. I had a loose main ground on my tranny housing and fixing that fixed my obd2 port problem.
