OBDII scanner - can't unplug

Cleared a P0705 code on my 2019 4Runner. Now I can't get the scanner unplugged. Is there some clip or latch I can't see? Pulling hard on it and wiggling back and forth. Don't want to break anything. Thanks!

 

Pull harder.

Hopefully its not a bent pin holding it in now.

 

Pulling really hard. Went on easily. Dumb problem to have.

 

Never had one get stuck so not sure.

I usually have hard time lining it up to put it in.

 

Hit it with your purse!

Seriously just make sure you are pulling in line with the plug. Don't pull up.

 

Thanks. It's strange. Just wanted to make sure there's no latch or clip I'm forgetting.

 

Thanks.

And it's a handbag...

 

I call mine a satchel. You know...like Indy.

 

Is the OBDII giving you a 'can't remove scanner' code?

 

Shut up, or I'll hit you with my pur- um, handbag.

Got it finally with pliers. I need to work out <whew>

 

we need you back at the gym so you can push and pull ike this.

 

Shewt - those little fellas could kick me arse.

 

The perfect 4runners.com thread.

 

@Daddykool glad you got it sorted, and kudos for showing grace under fire.

 

Note to self, actually fix issue and not just clear codes!

 

Yeah, that one can be pricey. Neutral safety switch. Dealership cleaned it many months ago and it worked flawlessly for a while. For the moment, clearing code is the fix.

 

Thanks. The ribbing was expected given the nature of my problem. It’s all good.

 

On a positive side, it could have been much worse. You didn't have to go to the ER because something unexpectedly stuck in some orifice.

 

Yeah, that. Good observation.
