Chapter two. Went to Auto Zone where the scanner showed it wasnt plugged in altho it was. The fellow said I had a fuse blowed and no power to the scanner. I pulled every fuse and tested them with a muitimeter and they all tested good. Unless there are fuses some where other than at the main panel under the hood. I did not get a message on the way home(about 20 miles) so that is where I am at present. The vehicle performs as good as it ever did.

Having trouble posting so if multiple messages come thru Im sorry. Had car scanned and operator said scanner did not read. His theory was a blown fuse. I came home and pulled all fuses and checked with multimeter none were bad. The fuses I checked were in the main panel under the hood.

oldman: I also had problems posting ,for some reason there was a long delay for my post to hit the forum but the next day it was there and of course like you I double posted . Anyhow back to your problem there is a fuse panel inside the van on the side of the dash next to the passenger door you have to open up the door to see the panel.Maybe that is where the fuse is ??? Good luck ,I think you are doing the right thing by going to autozone for the code reading I believe it is free,wish I would have know that a few years ago when the stealership took my greenbacks .....

Oldman : I was just thinking ,the info I was giving you about the fuse panel location was for an 03 not sure if it the same on your 06 like melsg5 said check your owners manual .

Well I read the manual (something totally against the rules of manhood) It said there were fuses on the pass side and to remove a panel. Well I removed the kick panel and one under the glove box and there were no fuses in sight. Ill do some more looking but its 17 degrees,its dark and I was getting pissed,this could get costly. Thanks for the replies guys. Ill post back if I learn anything.

Well I found the fuses. The names of things hindered this somewhat. To me the instrument panel sets under the steering wheel, the dash goes across the car door to door. On the right end of the DASH that butts up to the door is a cap with a hole in it that makes you think it is a vent. Pry this off and there they are. Checked all with MM and no bad ones. Next step is to try another scanner.

oldman I found this on the net hope this helps at least you can check for power dc voltage pin 5 is ground and pin 16 is +12 http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...-jIDQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0
Thanks Steel I didnt notice this post till today. I am going to hook up the air leveler tomorrow just in case it might be causing this and I will check for power at test port.

Glad to hear maybe the back end was too low and triggered some sensor for the stabilizer system ?

In case anyone is still looking. The guys high priced scanner wouldnt read the bcm codes either. So I said to hell with it Ill drive it till something shows up. Just returned from a 5500 mile trip and the light didnt come on till we were loading up to come home. Im thinking of restoring some 70s vehicles to have something to drive. These things are far to technical for daily drivers.
