check all connectors in the back of the diagnostic plug. you probably have a loose/bad one. if your ECM was fried it would probably just send a bunch of

codes to the scantool. good luck!!!

The SES light has to come on when you first turn the key to on. With key on engine off, jump terminals A & B of the ALDL. You should get a code 12 minimum. If not, the ecm isn't working but it doesn't mean the ecm is fried. It could be a burned fuse or other silly things but it could also be a bad ecm. Give the ecm a "sniff" test. If it smells burnt, you let the smoke out of it.
