The scanner is not conneecting with the PCM. Will not read anthying, just shows no vehicle connected.

No new keys.

I have plugged and unplugged every conncetor I can get my hands on.

Checked any ground I can find, and all are clean and tight.

I do know that it has an immobilizer for the key in the column.
Currently we only have one key as the other is MIA.

So I need some education on the immobilizer and how it plays witj rest of the system. According to what I can tell, it does block tje crank function and the fuel pump. If this is true then how does it reset?
