Default Ls swap pcm connection problem

I have a 97 camaro swaped with an lq9. The car ran fine for a few months before the oil pump died. It sat in the garage for a few months before I fixed the pump and now I'm unable to connect to the pcm to read a code. This was not a problem before the car was parked as I've checked the codes several times with the same scanner. I did remove the battery while it was sitting in the garage so I'm thinking maybe the pcm did some kind of weird reset but I'm really not sure. All of the fuses are good to go and the port is getting power i just cant read codes. The pcm was tuned by pcmforless and worked fined before the car was shelved. Any ideas?

If that situation was in my stall, I would go
back over everything I done with a fine tooth comb, make sure all connections and pins are
good, make sure pins did not get pushed out
Of connectors. I recently had a funky wire issue
that was caused by a rat chewing through a
nice size cluster of wires behind the engine.
Good luck
