The mini-sub was deployed late on Tuesday, but was forced to resurface due to a technical issue, officials said. It has since been redeployed.
The data downloaded from the mini-sub on Wednesday had "no significant detections", Australian officials add.
Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March with 239 people on board.
Air traffic controllers lost contact with it over the South China Sea while it was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Based on satellite data, officials believe it ended its flight thousands of kilometres off course, in seas west of the Australian city of Perth.
However, so far not a single piece of debris from the jet has been found.
'No detections'On Monday, the US Navy's Bluefin-21 robotic submarine was sent on its first mission to search the sea floor for wreckage after signals believed to be consistent with "black box" flight recorders were detected.
Other ships and aircraft are scouring the search area for debris But the drone exceeded its operating limit of 4,500m (15,000ft) and built-in safety features returned it to the surface. "No objects of interest were found," Australia's Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre (JACC) said.
The mini-sub was again deployed on Tuesday from the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield.
It was forced to resurface on Wednesday morning to rectify an unspecified technical issue and redeployed, JACC said.
"Initial analysis of the data downloaded this morning indicates no significant detections," it said.
The 5m-long Bluefin-21 can create a sonar map of the sea floor.
The US Navy has estimated that it could take the unmanned submarine from six weeks to two months to scan the search zone.

In another development, officials are investigating an oil slick about 5.5km (3.4 miles) from the area where the last underwater signals were detected.
An oil sample has been sent back to Perth for analysis, a process that will take several days, said Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, who heads the JACC.
Australian officials have said they are confident they are searching in the right area for the missing plane.
But ACM Houston warned on Monday that the search of the sea floor could be a long, painstaking process that might not yield results.
Officials so far have no idea why the plane diverted so far from its intended flight path. Investigators are looking at theories including hijacking, mechanical failure, sabotage and pilot action.
The Happy Camp Slide is located between Oceanside and Netarts on Highway 131 just north of Happy Camp Road. Oceanside residents have had to use the Cape Mears Loop Road as a detour during the slide repair work since early July. Lou Torres, a spokesman for ODOT on the north Oregon coast, said there are still a few weeks left for this project. Initial estimates were that the project would end around July 26, but it’s turned out to be much more complex and It is a much more complex project than usual and some surprises awaited ODOT and geologists.“ODOT might take two years to plan and build such a project,” Torres said. “But this was an emergency and we didn't have time to handle this as a normal project.”The slide turned out to be more serious than previously thought, and it required that ODOT work on it now, during the drier season, because of future dangers the slide presented.
It required draining the area of water, excavating several hundred tons of material and more.“What slowed down the contractor for two weeks was the amount of water that kept flowing from the hillside in to the area where they were excavating.” Torres said. “The contractor had to establish a ‘de-watering’ process with the drilling of several wells that helped to capture much of the water. During this period, the slide activity accelerated and we decided to go to 24-7 operations. This has been a complex and challenging project.”Currently, the only way into and out of Oceanside is taking Bayocean Road from Tillamook and then going south on the Three Capes Loop, past Cape Meares Lighthouse. Netarts is still accessed by Highway 131 from Tillamook.
