confused on this one at the moment

Do you have anything plugged into the 12V sockets that could be a back channel into you electric circuit? I see an extension cord next to the vehicle, what is that powering. what if you unplugged your Tech2?

I ask because you can put 12V back into your system through the 12V cigarette lighter sockets that is enough to help boost the charge on a low battery.

He was trying to reprogram the security module on his Denali last night. What you see is his Tech2 plugged into the OBDII port on his vehicle.

I was wondering if he had the Tech-2 powered up from a portable battery but not sure I see that kind of wiring on around it.

No, I’m talking about under the hood near the first battery in the video.
