Check engine light malfunction

Two days ago the check engine light came on in my 95 Corolla 1.8.
When I tried to pull the codes by jumping the TE1 and E1, nothing happens.
The check engine light comes on but no codes flash. Not even the steady flash of system ok.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know how to fix?
Thanks in advance

does the engine light come on with the key on the "ON" position? Is the check engine bulb good?
if it is are you sure you made contact in TE1 and E1

Thanks mustang67408,
Thats what happens when you have your father-in-law hovering over your shoulder trying to help since he's "done it so many times before", plus the Autozone picture has it backwards also.
It gave a code of 71 which is the egr system, so I'm going to check it out.

Again, thank you, and I'll post back with my results.
