I've never seen this issue but I would try re-seating the OBDII connector as it sounds like it might not be a solid connection.

If it still doesn't work then I'd try completely disconnecting everything for an hour or so, then hooking it back up and immediately starting the engine. This will give it the best chance for making that initial connection.

If it still doesn't work at that point you should take your car to a local shop and ask them to hook their reader up, just to see if theirs works or not. If it does you know you have a bad SGII and you can RMA it. If it doesn't you know you need to take the Yaris to the dealership to get the OBDII port working.

Reseating the connector did not work. To make sure SG II wasn't the problem, I hooked it up to Dodge Neon of my friends and it worked fine. So, now I know it's the Yaris's OBDII connector. I have scheduled a appointment to look into it, although they were telling me that the SGII may not be compatible with Yaris. But I know SGII is compatible as you guys have it working for you. So, we'll see what the problem is.

Turns out, I got a bad Scangauge. The company was nice enough to exchange it for a new one, which worked right away.

Thanks
