    Use a DVOM, inspect and test all the pins from one end of cable to the other with cable removed from scanner.

        how did you test the cable???

        are there any keys in the cable???

        are you sure theres nothing wrong with the car??

          1st, try it on a different car. If it still doesn't communicate, then it could be:
          A bad scanner
          A bad cable
          A bad connector
          A bad key

          The only way to know for sure is to try substituting parts. I know that probably not easy when you don't have a dealer, or someone to swap cables with, but that's the procedure.

              the reason I bought the scanner,was to check myself instead of taking to dealer,im a retired maints. tech for a injection molding plant here in Williamsburg ky.my trucks fog lights isn,t working as of last fall my cab light stopped working and my dome light dosnt work in front with truck started so im guessing body mod,was gonna use scanner to turn them on an off, but didn,t comm.
