Hello All,
Just bought a 2006 PT Cruiser and I knew the check engine light was on. Was told the car needed a transmission control module (TCM I guess its called). So the dealer dropped it off today and when I attach my brand new Foxwell scanner to the ODBII connector, after a minute or two I get a "No Communication" message. Took it to AutoZone to get them to read codes, same problem "No Communication" message. Tried the traditional key dance...all I get is "- - - - - - -" and then "- -done- -" and it never displays any codes.
I'm very familiar with turbo Dodge cars of the 80s and 90s (the 2.2 and 2.5) but this is only my second 2.4 PT Cruiser. I have also a 2005 PT 4 door that is not giving me any trouble but I went through the head gasket, mounts, and timing belt routine on it when I got it.
I would appreciate any insight as to what might be common causes for not being able to pull codes.
BTW, the car starts and runs fine except that it is stuck in limp in mode/2nd gear.
Oh yeah and the ABS light is also on, I just need initially to be able to pull codes so I know where to go from here.
