Code Reader "No Link"

I recently had a problem with my evo ix. Thread : https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=341816

During that process i got a check engine light. Dealer tried using their MUT to read the code but got no link. It's strange because their MUT was able to read the codes when i used to get check engine lights in the past.

I tried my code reader (which worked always before), but i get "NO LINK".

Car runs fine and everything is working 100%. I just can't get a code for that check engine. It keeps on saying "NO LINK" when i press read.

Has my ecu gone bad? Has this happened to anyone before? I searched and couldn't find anything

It could be the pins on the obdII port. However, i haven't touched the port for the check engine light to appear..only after i got the check engine, i tried to read the code and got NO LINK. I'll check the pins though just to be safe.


I have a stock battery

What else could it be?

Ok, silly question, but was the key turned to the "on" position just before the cranking position? That code appears if you don't....

the code reader and the dealer MUT couldn't get a reading. Could my ecu be the problem?

Is your car modded? Still under warranty? Try a battery reset, sometimes that helps electrical gremlins. Disconnect the battery and put the negative and positive cables together for about a minute. ( battery completely disconnected.) Try again. You can have the dealer figure this out. Will cost you 1 hr of labor time at most.
