OBD port issue

Hi all I am having issues with my obd port. Has power changes fuse just in case. Powers up the scanner but doesn’t read anything just states “fail” on scanner. Anyone else having a similar issue?

I'm 'gonna guess here that you have a bad OBD scanner. Maybe try a Blu Tooth type with your Cell.

Look for a pushed or bent pin not connecting.
Good luck.

It could also be helpful to check if there are any error codes stored in the vehicle's system that could provide more insight into the issue. Keep troubleshooting, and hopefully, you'll get to the bottom of this OBD port mystery soon!
