All I know is that my '94 Bonneville has the OBDII connector but runs the OBDI system. You're probably just accidentally bypassing whatever codes you have while the tool jumps terminals. If yours is like mine you will not see any codes on an OBDII scan tool. If I'm wrong someone please let me know, I just want to read my codes, too!

Finally, someone feels my pain :b
