When I start my car, turn the key on. The scanmaster just displays 2.1 then goes blank. This happened after my battery went dead. I double checked my wiring and my fuses. Any suggestions?
Powering up to the version display and then going blank indicates it's getting no data.
What do you suggest I do-recheck my connection from the ALDL to the scanmaster? I'm kinda bummed that i have no data when i just put a new chip in the car.
What version TT chip? 2.1 SCM won't read a 6.0 chip without powerlogger.
the fact that is lights up 2.1 and goes dead tells us that the scanmaster is working, that is a self test, it goes dead because it is getting no data, did you jump the car when the battery went dead? That has blown many a fusable link and damaged ecms in the past

Did it do this just once, or did you re-start the car after the battery had a full charge. I had the exact thing happen on a near dead battery. Car did start and SM went blank. After shutting the car off and sticking the battery on a charger, problem went away upon re-start with fully charged batt. I have no explanation why. HTH
