Since the check engine light does not come on with key on, here is a video that you can follow to resolve your issue. You just need a wire diagram showing you the 5v ref wire or wires, powers and grounds to the pcm (communication lines).

Assuming is never a good thing.

Nice! Hook it up and see if it'll automatically identify the vehicle. Do a complete vehicle scan if possible.

Sorry bud, I was away for a few days, the topdon can’t scan it, is this because of the no crank and the ecm being asleep?

Probably! Did it fail to ID the vehicle with the 'Auto ID' function?

Use the 'Enter VIN' option in the top right to manually scan/enter the VIN, then try to scan it again.

Ok I entered it in manually tried to scan the ecm but it failed, but my battery was starting to lose juice so I’ll get a charger on it and try again tmrw after work. What scans do I want to try after I get the battery charged up?

Try for a system scan first and let it pull codes from every module on the vehicle.

If that doesn't work, go for the main players on the high speed bus. ECM, TCM, BCM, EBCM.
