SCANNERS does not remember pattern
Memory loss will occur whenever the positive wire loses
contact with the battery for a moment. This can occur if
the positive wire is attached to the wrong contact on the
fuse box or some other location in the vehicle. Try to
connect the SCANNERS positive wire directly to the
battery positive terminal.
