Scan Codes Help Needed

87 Ranger 2.3 Auto, hookup scan code reader, all equipment off, (after engine is warm), plug in scanner, put switch on HOLD, turn ignition switch ON (not run/start), scan code reader beeps, no codes are generated, waited 2 hours, supposed to be 10 sec to 1 min before codes generate, anyone have any idea where to start to verify what might be wrong?

Also, worse case scenerio, if I need a new ECU, where to get? AutoZone wants $94

Part# E7TF-12A650-J1A

This may be my issue(s) as to why I'm not seemingly running correctly??

If you are using (which it sounds like) a commercial reader, check the battery (9v) which makes it work. On the one I have you are supposed to be on the audio side and hold for initial hookup. When key is turned to on, go to test from hold.
