Does it show any errors? Is the ignition turned on?

Well that could be either a driver issue with the cable or a physical issue with your OBD-II port. Try using a different computer and spray some contact cleaner on the OBD-II port.

Tried again this morning, plugged it in and out a number of times and it worked. It might just be my crappy laptop having a wobble. Thanks for your replies, appreciate it.
