Noticed that the OBD2 port was not secure, while trying to attach the cable it just moved upwards so was unable to make the connection. Removed few dashboard panels and it turned out that the wire harness was not locked to its case. After some time I figured out how the locking mechanism works and reassembled the dashboard, always such a pain trying to line up all the pieces.
