    my OBD2 port on my 2006 Toyota Prius works partially but when I connect my elm327 obd2 device, it doesn't connect to the Bluetooth elm reader that connects the reader to my phone. I used to be able to read my Prius with any code scanner and look at the high voltage batteries. Now I can't access anything to the check engine light or batteries. How hard would this be to fix or try correcting?

    Could be a problem with your adapter, could be a problem with the female terminals in the OBD connector (you would need a single male terminal of the correct size to check fit when pushed in- there should be slight but noticeable drag when pulling).

    Does that OBD adapter work on another car?

    I've noticed similar problems in my gen too and those code readers I tend not to use sometimes if I unplug them and reinsert them they seem like they work but I don't know how deep they go I have text stream on a cf-19 with a dongle that seems to work it's red and it lights up green and red is data moves I don't know how to buy another one to get an extra as the j standard for these things seems to be all over the place the replacement or the piece that I got with the Toyota tech stream computer I bought from the dealer I believe this is a replacement cable but it works

    The same code reader used to read my codes on my car for the last two years, now all of a sudden even AutoZone and oreillys AND Toyota's code readers do not read the car even though the ECU logs codes in, and I cannot ream them now.

    The wiring diagram shows a 7.5A OBD fuse (in the driver's side interior fuse block?) specifically for the OBD2 connector. Have you checked that fuse with an ohmmeter?

    I did check all of the fuses and none of them are blown. Still puzzled
