Does the car run and tell you that code...?

the eec is the computer that controls the car, well engine electronics anyway.

It means there is no communication between the EEC and the scanner. Suggest to run the DIY KOEO/KOER/Cylinder Balance Self-Test version of the self tests and check what codes get flashed at the CEL.
