Default Failed inspection

Heres a good 1 . There is no more dino testing in Mass so I went for a Mass sticker and failed due to not getting a reading off the OBD. they told me the wires might have been cut off. When I got it home all the wires are intack with no signs of it being tampered with . I did the "ignition 3 times test" and the engine light didnt flash or turn on , and it doesnt come on when I start the neon either . Its a 1997 neon auto and its running fine other than a slight hesitation in the highway when I let off the throttle . What should I look at first ?

dont take this the wrong way but after you hooked up the scanner did you turn your key forward without starting it?

you could try getting a used PCM from the junk yard or maybe take it to the dealer and have them reflash it.
