Scanner won't connect to ECU

Thanks for tech stuff to check. The better of the two scanners is iCarsoft CR Plus so will check the pinout and other suggestions.

Thanks a lot. I'll update when I have some success.

Apologies for the DOH! question about neutral

BTW: have it on fairly reliable sourcing that on most cars post 2000 the CAN is on the same power circuit as the in car power (lighter) sockets. I have tested them with a USB charger and they are working but of course, that doesn't help if the CAN is on a different circuit. I'll confirm that theory when I come to testing it.

This is true for GM but just because it's true for one manufacturer do not assume it's true for all. For example if memory serves me right VW/Audi actually put the fuse in the back of the radio itself (genius right). I forget how Acura has it but I do not believe they have it tied into the 12v accessory port either since it's common to blow that fuse.
