This sounds silly, but check your fuses. You need to make sure that you have power to the OBDII connector. I know on alot of cars, particularly Ford (not sure about Honda) but if the cigarette lighter isn't working, more than likely the fuse blew and when you go to hook up a scanner to it, it won't read because they're on the same circuit, thereby causing instant failure when you go to do emissions. I've seen that many of times. I work at an emissions shop. That's my guess
