Try out the scanner on another car to see if it works OK.
When connected, is your scanner powering up off the cars' electrics?
Or do you get a vehicle linking/communications error?

You should not connect/disconnect the scanner with the cars' ignition on.

Once the scanner is connected, try with the ignition on and with the engine running.
