Re: OBD2 Communication Error After Belt Broke
not a diy, moved, made title more descriptive
check for damaged, broken, melted wiring under the hood that the belt may have damaged, sounds like maybe a ground issue

Ty, it fried the electronic magnetic, blew the condenser fuse , I replaced the fuse and I disconnected the AC plug-in, still have same issue

Unbolt the battery and verify the thick wire going into the alternator didn’t get yanked out of the back of the alternator.
Recheck that both the alternator 12mm mounting bolts are good and tight.

Re: OBD2 Communication Error After Belt Broke
I bet you didn't tighten all of the alternator bolts.
Doing so can quickly cause permanent damage to the PCM.

But I did, had to loosen them to replace the belt w/o AC then tighten them back up, then rechecked after started the engine run for few mins then shut off
