Hello,
I recently purchased a Blue-Point Microscan III (OBD2/OBD1) scanner and also it's OBD1 cable so to connect to OBD1 vehicles using Snap-On OBD1 adapters.
After connecting a FRD-1B MT2500-20B adapter with 12 volts power. The Microscan III doesn't turn on.
The vehicle is a 88 Ford E-150 with 5.0L V8 which uses a EEC-IV computer system.
I've tried Key-Off, Key-On and Key-On engine running.
Apparently the FRD-1B MT2500-20B adapter even though it has 12 volts power isn't able to supply any power to either of my OBD1 scanners.
If I connect a Snap-On MT2500 scanner I'm only able to get the scanner to turn on and stay on by holding down the power button. Once released the MT2500 turns off.
Using the MT2500 I'm able to read codes and perform several tests while holding it's pwr button. When when the OBD1 / OBC2 Microscan III is connected scanner doesn't turn on.
I'm assuming this is some sort of limitation of the scanners? or perhaps the FRD-1B adapter is faulty?
I did find a webpage from Snap-on's website about connecting to OBD1 vehicles. (Doesn't list either the MT2500 or the Microscan III.)
