As noted I have a 2016 Journey. The Check Engine Light came on recently, and now is on solid and the car is running fine, but I really want to know what it is telling me...unfortunately I wasn't driving the car when it came on, and no one can tell me when it came on...(Kids, and wife!) I am trying to connect an Actron CP9575 (Sotware Version D35B). I connect the scanner and attempt to push the Start button to put the car in to "Run" mode. Unfortunately the "Off" button dims and pushing the start button does not change it to "Run". I put the car in "Run" mode first and then plug the scanner in...and the car goes crazy! The wipers start the center screen (behind the steering wheel) is displaying Check AWD, Fuel Low, etc... the list goes on. I pull the scanner off and the car returns to normal and starts up, but the CEL remains on. I have updated the scanner to the latest update offered by Actron. I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know if this scanner is compatible with this car?...I figure it is since the scanner is ODB II/EODB it would work.
2. If it is compatible, I have searched all over trying to find the right procedure for hooking this scanner to the vehicle and getting it to link properly to the car. What am I missing?
Thanks for all responses in advance...I am really stuck here.
