Default Help - can not read codes

I have a 1999 SL2, manual tranny. When driving it the other day the service engine soon light came on. I took it to Advanced Auto to have them read the code, and they could not get it to register. I guess their tool would not connect with the car. Any ideas on how to retrieve the code?

Ayup --

Go to another parts house (O'Reilly's, AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc) and let them try

no wrench


I did go to another store, and they could get the code. It seems my O2 sensor is bad.

Thanks
