Are you saying that the PCM is removed right now? If there's no PCM or the PCM isn't getting power or ground for what ever reason, the the ODB2 scanner won't be able to talk to it.

OBTW, did you check the grounding pins of the ODB2 DLC port?

If not there's a possibility that the PCM is either dead or not being powered up.

Does the PATS system "prove out"?

Is there key on power in Fuse F2.34, F2.2, and F2,8?
