A few months ago I picked up a generic ELM327 OBDII scanner. I used it on my dad's truck around a month ago and it read the code fine. Today (nothing wrong with my 2017 Mazda 3) I plugged it into my car to just get it set up incase I ever needed it and some weird things happened.
First, the car wouldnt start with the scanner plugged in.
Second, after abandoning my mission of using it, a check engine light was on my dash.
Has this happened to anyone else before? Any insight?
I will be taking it to the dealership this coming week but would rather fix it on my own if it is something simple. (dealer is an hour away)
