Does a bad starter throw a code? ... If it does, what code would it be?

The starter is fine! ... Brand new starter is in already. The car just still doesn't want to crank. ... I'm just wondering if even though my VATS is now tuned out, should I still try bypassing the Passkey under the steering column? .. Even though VATS is tuned out, the security light still flashes. It just won't read a code/DTC on my scanner.

Does the starter motor spin...?
Does the solenoid pull in...?
Does the pinion engage on the ring gear on the flexplate/flywheel...?
