Example: of the corriosion in the panel under the drivers side seat can cause a voltage drop to the pin on the OBDII connector, this can prevent scanning.

Water corrosion in this floor well, ( sometimes with large amounts of water) can be caused by the seal or door vapor barrier being torn, damaged or detached. Can be down to the age of the seal or from previous poor door/seal repairs after door maintenance.

Note: this is common on E39s and the problem can also cause battery drain.
