If you cannot communicate with the ECM, it could be a fault with the power supply to the DLC. Ensure you have battery voltage at pin # 16.

Pin # 4 is ground, ensure it has continuity to body ground.

Check the ground circuits for the engine and computer.

Which engine do you have?

What did you use to check the DLC? You must only use a DVOM to test.

Pin # 16 has battery voltage.
Pin # 4 is body ground, you would not gat any power there.
Pin # 3 is CCB (+)
