The orange wire is the power wire at the obd2 connector. That is usually the cigarette port fuse that powers the connector check all your fuses.

If you can, try using another scanner. You have to have a 12 V power source at that plug and communication. If you have 12 V and a good fuse then you have a communication issue with the ECM, it could be the ECM that's the problem. Make sure that the fuse is actually good, don't just look at it exchange it for a known good one or replace it with a new one if you're in doubt. Sometimes a bad fuse will look good

A General Motors OBD-1 assembly line data link (ALDL) connector is not a powered connector like an OBD-2 connector.

It might be a good idea to refer to the user's manual for your scan tool as they are all somewhat different.
