Communication Error with Vehicle

• Confirm the vehicle is OBD II compliant (generally 1996 and newer for US vehicles).
• Check for any loose connections at the OBD II port or scanner cable.
• Turn the ignition off, disconnect the scanner, wait a few seconds, and reconnect.
• Ensure the vehicle's battery is not critically low.

Check Engine Light Remains On After Clearing Codes

• Clearing codes only turns off the light; it does not fix the underlying issue. The light will reappear if the fault persists.
• Address the root cause of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) before attempting to clear it again.
• Ensure the engine was off when clearing codes, as per instructions.

Understand different DTC statuses to accurately identify car problems and avoid blind maintenance.
