AXrescuer Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi peeps, Just wondering if any of you may be able to suggest a reason as to why my Saab's OBD port appears to be dead?No scanners will work when attached to it, even the dealer's own one! They have no idea what might be the cause except to saythat the after-market stereo may be to blame. Any help would be muchly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 TV2 is the same, and I have never been able to figure out why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Maybe there is a port on the side of the diagnostic port that a tiny machine plugs into to diagnose faults on the diagnostic port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXrescuer Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yeah it shares the same fuse as the stereo which works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 there should be enough power in a diagnostic socket to power a 5 watt side light bulbconnect one side to pin 4 and the other to pin 16 and see if it lights up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Does your deadlocking work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXrescuer Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's weird. Everything is fine apart from an intermittent CEL. I need to flash off the fault codes otherwise I've no chance of tracing the fault. It's mental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
