Re: OBD does not communicate with safety inspection computer

The other thing I'd be doing is inspecting the wires where they leave the back side of the odb2 connector under the dash. My experience with wire shorts/problems is where a where goes through or around some structure the chafe can easily happen. This might be as simple as a bad wire at the back of the connector which is shorting to another. Take a flashlight and carefully look at the wires that lead from the connector. I'd be ruling out the simple things before replacing a computer for sure.
