Are you using a JDM OBD2 ECU?

If yes, search no further because JDM ECUs and US OBD2 scan tools have no clue how to talk to one another.

So since a scanner won't work, jump the 2-pin connector under the dash to get the blink codes.

correct. JDM ECU and US Scan tools are not complainant. Also, since you are in VA, you will not be passing your state inspection next time around. You have some work to do. I can explain in more detail if needed, you can PM us.
