The 'fault in communication with the ECU' error is telling you your scan tool can't seem to interface/find the N3/9 main CDI control unit.

Was the ignition on when you scanned for codes? If not the scan-tool won't find the N3/9 module because it isn't powered up.
Yes the key was on, as I was able to clear codes in other modules. I was also able to see six faults in the CDI module, I just was not able to clear the codes. Four were stored, the other two were the glow plug controller (currant and stored). I know they are two different faults, but I can only assume they are caused by the same thing, as they both showed up after I changed the alternator. Could there be a fuse that is blown? Since the scan tool worked to clear codes in other modules, I assume at least the diagnostic circuit/fuse is good.
