Problems reading fault codes with reader
So I've made myself a little fault code reader using the instructions I found on this forum and all was going swimmingly until it came to the fault codes to be read out and nothing happened, not even a 1-1-1.
So...what could be the issue? It is a 1996 850 2.5 SE estate with what I believe is a 10v engine. In terms of the little reader I know the LED works because it illuminates fine but when I push the "dipper" wire in for 2 seconds and then release, the LED goes off but then nothing at all happens after, even if I wait a while. I tried with the ignition on position 2 to start with, then tested position 1 and also with the engine on all with the same result...nothing. Any suggestions clever people? I should probably explain that I have the engine management light on so am trying to use the reader to help figure exactly what the issue is so that I can fix it. Thanks

Where did you connect the flash code reader? What pins did you connect to?

16 - positive
3 - negative and one end of the dipper 5 - other end of dipper but just for 2 seconds or so the LED lights up while the dipper wire is being dipped in number 5
