Default no ecu code

my friend has a 96' civic dx. long story short he has a check engine light and after going to 2 seperate places, neither can retrieve the error code. does anyone have any ideas what this could mean? he was told, and these were just guesses, that the ecu was fried.

also note, to read the flashes you do this.

say it flashes4 times like flash-flash-flash-flash then there is a pause then it flashes 5 times so you have flash-flash-flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash-flash-flash it is a code 45 which is o2 sensor. any problems let me know, there there is a code on the ecu it will flash
