Try OBDII
Why would you expect to see anything with an OBD reader if the car is
not putting out anything an OBD reader could understand? (Not being a
smartass, just seems like the basic question)
Is there an adapter that might go to USB and something running on a
laptop that could understand whatever the car is talking?
I built some little circuit thing to see the ALDL output from my 87
Chebbie truck on a laptop, and ran some software some guy in Sweden or
somewhere wrote, it actually was kinda cool to see the various
parameters but ultimately worthless for adjusting anything on the truck.

Just for grins I ordered an adapter that allows the connection of an ODBII
reader to the 38 pin diagnostic connector on my S500, which is one year prior
to the adoption of ODBII.
I can't seem to find anything that describes what I should be able to see on
the reader when I connect it to the car.
For $3.00 I'm willing to risk a try, just curious as to if anyone else has ever
used one of these.
