Went to go take it to get emissions checked :barf: With no codes mind you, and get an OBD Connector integrity fail. I have been doing up some reading and finding that the issue is the cig lighter. I have passed emissions with out the cigarette lighter connected in this very dsm. It is currently connected and has a voltage gauge in the cig lighter. It did used to short and blow the fuse when I tried to push the lighter in which is why I now run the gauge on it. Do you guys think this is the problem? Sorry but I'm bad at the electronics :cry:
 
Engine compartment fuse box fuse #11 a 10 amp fuse is it OK?

I'm guessing they couldn't power up thru the diagnostic port?
Otherwise your going to have to check all the wiring & circuits to the port.
(well just a select few really required for OBD communications)
 
Yes all fuses are OK, I know I have a short for the cig lighter somewhere. I'll be scrutinizing pins 4,5, and 16 from the OBD connection. I will disconnect the cig lighter and check with the multimeter if anything changes. If it does I'll go re-test. What do you guts think?
 
Did you get a power to 16 & a ground to 4 & 5 in your testing?

Thing is I such with electronics, I do have a cheap little multimeter I just don't know how to use it in this case.

Just passed emissions, I'm good for 2 years again. All I did was disconnect the cig lighter and was good to go. This doesn't excuse the fact that I have a short and will get on that in the near future but for now WINNING! :)
