 If you've got one of these OBD-2 scanners of a Chevy in the 2000s, let's say a Chevy Suburban, a Silverado, a Blazer, if you plug it in underneath your dash to scan your codes and it looks like this and nothing's happening, I'm going to show you what to check first. This week on Shop Shenanigans. Stay tuned and check it out. Okay guys, what we got here is this little actron, it's a code scanner, it's the OBD-2 pocket scan, it does a great job for all I needed to do, it's the CP9125, 9125 and it plugs in with this right here down underneath the dash, which I will show you right now, get my camera off the tripod, I got my lens cap on there, right under there, that's where this thing plugs into, so we're going to go ahead and plug it in just like that. Okay, now I know it's going to come up some codes for the O2 sensors, there's a lot of people call them knock sensors, but it's going to come up with a code for them, she has them, I will put them in for her, but now we're going to turn the key on and actually as you can see there's a problem somewhere because this thing is not reading anything. Okay, so we need to find out there must be a fuse somewhere because that should be, even with the key off it should be reading something, it'll come across the screen, so let's go ahead and I'm going to see if I can find a fuse or something that's bad with this thing and then I'll get back with you as soon as I find out why the scanner's not working in here. Okay guys, we're going to check the fuses, I have the key on, I want to put this onto the ground which is handy because right there's the ground of the battery, this is an O3 Chevy Suburban, if I remember right those work through the cigarette lighter, okay another radio works, I know everything works but I don't know about the cigarette lighter so I'm going to check it first, okay we got it on one side, well actually I can see it's blown, okay so all right let's go ahead and pull that out, yep it sure is it's blown, I don't know if you can see that or not but it is blown, all right so I've got a couple fuses in my pocket here, it takes a 15, there's a 15, I brought out a 10 and a 15 just in case because I didn't know which one it would be, I'm glad it wasn't a 20 because I didn't bring a 20 out, okay now let's go in here and let's check the code scanner and see if it works because if I remember right my buddy had an O5 Chevy, maybe it was an O4 that did the same thing and the cigarette lighter fuses what caused it so let's go ahead and plug this in, well let's shut it off turn the key off first, all right let's plug this in, we got there it is pocket scan, all right now we're going to turn the key on again don't start it just turn the key on and we're going to push read and now it's reading the codes, like I said it should come up with the O2 sensors, okay so there's I'm going to write this down and then we'll go in we'll look in the book and see what it what it so there you have it, check your cigarette lighter fused first should be a 15 amp it works on many different years I'm not exactly sure what use, sometimes it will also work on other GM products, Buick Cadillac some of those I do know people have complained about the issues now if you do that and it doesn't work check your pins inside you know not only this not only on your but check your pins up under the dash I have seen them before usually the one sometimes will bend okay well this has the pins and up inside is where the is where these pins will plug into it's usually the bottom right the last one the bottom right which would be that one right in here check it sometimes they'll bend over and they don't make a good contact because that's your that's usually your power port it works on many many different GM Chevy products check that first and then check your pin if that's not the issue then you're going to have to start looking into the wiring but there's a big chance that that's going to be your problem as you've seen that was our issue so it's usually a pretty good pretty easy fix because they don't get plugged into a lot but your cigarette lighter usually does your plug in chargers and you're you know they'll they'll burn out quite frequently so if you're having that issue and you plug it in and it comes up just blank and it does nothing even when you turn the key on chances are it's your cigarette lighter for you so check that first then your pin then you're going to have to go into wiring but uh I would check that first so there you guys go thanks for watching I appreciate it shea berry the myth the man a legend I'm gone for now bye bye guys have a good one
