I had that happen to me once....check to make sure all the fuses that are supposed to be in are in and none are burned out. I had one I pulled out for a dumb reason and the socket it applied to did as you described until I put it back in...works fine now.

All the codes descriptions can be found at here:

The switch contacts in the OBD-I reader box can get corroded. The box snaps apart but be aware that a contact and a spring will want to go flying once the box comes apart. If you take it apart slowly you can kinda control things.

Once it is apart clean the contacts and snap it back together.

Once the contacts are cleaned it will usually work.
