Default ECU problem??

I'm having an issue with reading faults on my ST170, I have used 2 different ford specific fault code readers now and they just do not seen to recognise my car whatsoever, but work on my mates st. Also not sure if it's relevant but the engine management light doesn't come on, ever. I've checked the bulb and it's fine but when I start it the light never appears? Any ideas??

Ok, I'll get on to them this week and get back to you, it's pretty strange! Glad someone else has the same issue!
