Autozone won't be checking your codes with the OBD2 reader. In fact, no OBD2 reader will work for 94/95 pcm'*. GM, for these models, used what is called "manufacturer specific" codes.
Actron made a scantool that will work. Ebay is your best bet to find them. Someone will chime in on the model number.

Where are you located at. Maybe....just maybe, a club member has a scanner that can read your car and would be willing to hook you up 
(That is why it is a good idea to put your city/state in your "Profile"...... so it shows up below your avatar as "Location:" 
)
<IIRC, the usual going rate for a club member code scan is one beer......data scan and initial diagnosis is 3 beers......full on trouble shooting is a six pack, mimimum>

But willwren likes the Actron CP9110 scanner better for '95 and older Bonnevilles (that'* the model I have and it does give a ton of data). It'* pretty inexpensive on eBay right now from "tradervar". It'* missing the '94-'95 16 pin OBD1.5 cable, but I provide that (the "Buttermore cable") at cost as a club project.
