Check to see if you are getting power to the aldl and ground. The key has to be on to read the codes. Check fuses underhood and under dash

I would make sure the scan tool works on other cars before going too far in checking wires etc.I have very rarely seen one of those vues that you couldnt talk to the ecm that would start. Also check and make sure there are no broken wires going to the obd2 connector.

If it works on other cars it should work on yours. Check to see if you are getting power to the aldl andground. A test light can do that.
