Your battery could be shorted, not just low on voltage. This will prevent a jumper from starting your car. Take the battery to a car parts or battery store and have them test it. Typical life of battery 4-6 years.

If your ECU does not get enough power, you will not be able to use a scanner.

What is going on in that picture? That may be a control unit for something but if you're looking for the engine ECU that's not it.
