    Did you connect the OBD cable while the car was running? Most of what I have read advises against doing this. Plugging in while the PCM is activated could in some cases create a voltage spike that may corrupt the program or damage the PCM.
    Disconnect the battery cable and wait a few minutes then connect it back. This may reset the PCM.
    You have the VCM scanner , check for fault codes? The scanner may tell you exactly what is wrong.
