Can't seem to find any info on troubleshooting the communication error on my obd port. I tried my scanner as well as the guys at Napa. The port powers up but nothing to connect. Any help on how to start the attack on this would be greatly appreciated.

We had this problem before on our 2500 Suburban; lines to the ECU were rusted. You are going to have to trace wires, unfortunately.

check the accessory fuse that powers the cigarette power port (usually the one closest to the driver), if the power port is not working then the fuse is burnt and that fuse also controls obd port communication. the obd port will always have power and ground regardless.

Same thing with my '02 Yukon. I saw that about the fuse on one of he Facebook pages. Changed the fuse and my OBD port works now. Never would have known.
