| ... it). As for other cars, I've heard that some don't have a dedicated button for it, so some re-coding needs to be done to turn it off completely. I've also heard that the dealer will not allow you to turn it off apparently...they have the software to do it, but they say it will void warranty of some sort (don't know why it would though). But most of the time this feature is enabled when you use some sort of "eco mode". So if there is an "eco mode" button for your car, perhaps turning it off will also turn off the auto start/stop feature. The Eco mode on my B ... | |||||

| Answer to: Long-Term Risks with OBD2 dongle | 21Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Of course you are taking a risk that such a device will damage your car's electrical system. The OBD2 port is designed for diagnostics, that is short-term temporary attachment of troubleshooting equipment, not continuous use. You might get away with it. You might not. How lucky do you feel? (References to the specific device have been removed. The advice for avoiding the long-term installation of OBD2 dongles applies to all such gadgets regardless of source.) | |||||

| Greetings. I have a 1996 chevy p30. I converted into a food truck. It has an OBD2 connector but no communication with any scan tool I use. There us good power and good ground. I can't find anything on Google and I don't have access to all data to figure out what the issue might be. Any ideas? I know some vehicles built in 96 were still obd1 and never made the conversion until late 96 or early 97. But it does have an OBD2 connection. It just will not communicate to the computer | |||||

| OBD2 Memory Saver with Lithium Battery Jump Starter that goes up to 16V | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | beefmami | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I watched your video about using a OBD2 memory saver when changing out batteries and using a 12V lithium battery jump starter. I checked my battery jump starter with a multitool, and it puts out close to 16V. Is this still acceptable and safe to use in conjunction with the OBD2 memory saver or is the voltage too high? Cheers! | |||||
| OBD2 scanner error communicating | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | apple | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I have a Toyota Camry 1999 4 cylinders engine, with a communication problem between the OBD2 scanner and the car computer itself. Tried different scanners in different shops and all said error communicating. I cleaned all the connectors, tried checking all grounds related to the OBD2 port connector and they seem fine, has 12v that powers the scanner and the signal wire has continuity end to end but keeps giving the error on screen. Car has check engine light on all the time and runs fine with it on, if the battery its disconnected to reset it the car starts ruff and runs fine when the light comes back on. Opened the computer and dint see burnt or leaking components inside. Don't know if there's a wire, fuse or relay giving issues or the computer its self. | |||||
| Obd2 scanner recommendations | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | beefmami | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty & team, I am planning to get a second hand car and was planning to get OBD2 scanner to check the car before purchase. Scotty always recommends getting a mechanic with a dealer level scanner check the car before buying it. However, I don't know any good and honest mechanics in the Philippines where I live. So my plan is to just get a more powerful OBD2 scanner. Was looking at an Ancel X7 scanner that claims to be able to do full system scans. Is this any good? Was hoping this will find all problems with the car. Was thinking of getting this one, because my kids can still use it as a regular tablet to watch videos and play games when it's not being used as a scanner. The cost of the scanner will be much lower than if I paid for a car, so I feel like the cost of the scanner is okay if my kids can use it as a tablet afterwards. Any help will be appreciated!

| Answer to: To ECO or NOT To ECO - that is the question | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | yaser | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It was designed by the engineers to improve the gas mileage and it is not something like these autostart/stop gimmick. You can use them all the time, although I would say it is more effective in city driving. You can track your mpg to see how it works for your driving. | |||||

| New Intake Manifold Installed but.... | 18Relevance | 1 year ago | CharlesHammer | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2008 Mercedes E350 with 119K miles produced an OBD2 code P2006 and I found a broken plastic rod in the intake manifold actuator lever configuration. This is a common issue with the M272 engine in these vehicles. To remedy the situation, I bought a new Pierburg manifold (OEM, same brand as the factory one I removed) kit from FCP Euro and installed it myself. I followed instructional Youtube installation videos step by step and took my time, no rush job or shortcuts. After the installation was complete, I thought the car was finally fixed. However, after using my OBD2 scanner, I'm now getting a P2015 code and ME/Motor Electronics Module code 0524 ( Bank 1). For the record, I have not had a check engine light, even when the old manifold was confirmed to be broken, the car still passed the state inspection and emissions test. The car seems to run smooth but I feel it could / should be more powerful. Recently, I had my neighbor sit in drivers seat, start the car, then step on the gas pedal to rev the engine. However, I saw no movement of the intake manifold actuator arms or linkage. The lever / linkage is functional ( it's new & and snaps back when moved to the right ) and no hoses or wires are within the path of the linkage /arms allowing proper (free) unobstructive movement. To the best of my ability, I checked to make sure hoses had no dry rot, cracks and the hoses were routed correctly with secure connections. In addition, I performed a similar inspections of my wires, clips, connections and the odd things moved around during the initial disassembly and installation. Lastly, I looked online for a related fuse to check but could not find any information regarding one. While I was able to install the manifold myself, I'm not mechanically inclined and a newbie to DIY repairs. Aside from watching hours of instructional repair videos (pre-installation) and the actual installation process itself, this project has absorbed countless hours of my time. On top of that, I have spent an additional 2+ months online researching my new codes/ Issue that arose after installation and fiddling under the hood in mostly below freezing temperatures. If I take the car to an actual mechanic at this juncture. I'm gonna feel like a complete failure. If anyone has any insight on the matter or a testing procedure or troubleshooting tricks that could lead me to isolate the true issue, I'd be very thankful. The OBD2 scanner I use is an HT500 Bluetooth dongle, it sold at Walmart as part as their "house brand" Hypertough. However, it is made and supported by Innova and uses the Repair Solutions 2 application. | |||||
| Answer to: Idle speed almost at the point of stalling | 18Relevance | 3 years ago | Jimmy2tone | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Thanks Chuck. I believe there was a ripple before when I had Autozone use their tool hooked up to the battery. They said there was a ripple. I remember trying to use the OBD2 scan tool before that where I had the problem.Since than I tried the OBD2 tool again and same results after alternator replacement. So I can't use a scan tool in the OBD2 port until I fix this. Any thoughts? By the way now the idle speed is at 800 rpms once warmed up. When I first start it about 1300 rpms. If I don't put anything in that port the car runs good. But I should be able to use this port and I have no idea what could cause this problem. | |||||
