OBD Reader Not working

Hope someone can help me here. I bought my 01 - S430 last month. Great drive. No check engine light but some hesitation. So I purchased a OBD II reader. I read and got some codes. Misfires, Air Mass error. No problem. Figured a tune up and new MAF would be ok. So last night my check engine light comes on. So today I decide to read to codes again. I keep getting errors. It wont read. So I try the reader on my wifes Nissan..No problem...reads everything. So why wont the OBD tool read my Benz? Is there a fuse? Any ideas?

Thanks guys

He says it has worked for him previously. There's nothing different about a Mercedes OBDII port.

Are you sure you plugged it all the way in?
