Check all fuses. A lot of the time the cigarette lighter fuse is blown. I have seen some pins push out too on the OBD port.

Yep, when mine went I blew the ECM fuse, and cig lighter fuse. Thus scaring the phuck out of me when my truck wouldn't start with the no bus on dash, and no power to plug in scan tool.

I had a similar problem with a Smarty, other than I would get power but the Smarty wouldn't connect to the ECM. the problem ended up being a little corrosion on a few of the pins and one or two pins being pushed out of the OBDII port. I'd start there. You can pull the OBDII port our and shine up all the pins and make sure they are all in there tight.

Check the port for power (12V) I don't know off the top off my head which one is hot. Use a grounded test light and see if you have power.

That's the constant power pin in the obd connection, use a grounded test light to check. It's what powers the Smarty.

[Samaras Diesel]

how do you remove the obd2 port to clean the pins? is it got a plug on the back of it and bolts holding the plug under the dash?
