For some reason, I can't read read the codes from my built-in diagnostic module like I used to. I turn the ignition to the ON position as always, and all I get is a dimly lit light from the LED. When I press the switch for 3 secs the LED gets brighter, but I don't even get one blink afterward. What does this mean?
