Try the cigar lighter fuse, I think, and not knowing your vehicle, is the power to the ecm plug.

Thanks for responding. I looked in my fuse box for a blown fuse in the cigar lighter spot. There was not fuse. I installed a fuse in there and checked communication with my scanner and there is still an error message. I have a 1998 Chev express van 3/4 ton 5.7 engine and its automatic. Is there something else I can try?
