-If pin 16 does not show power (it should have 12v at all times when measured against pin 5), the fuse powering this pin may be blown. ​ The same fuse powers the key illumination ring, the lights in the rear view mirror, the foot light under the dash, and also provides battery backup power to the ECU.  It's labeled in the shop manual as dedicated fuse #11.  It is located under the hood in the main fuse box. Looking down at the fuse box standing in front of the car, fuses #11 and #12 are grouped together in a yellow clip located in the lower left hand corner of the fuse box.  ​+If pin 16 does not show power (it should have 12v at all times when measured against pin 5), the fuse powering this pin may be blown. ​ The same fuse powers the key illumination ring, the lights in the rear view mirror, the foot light under the dash, and also provides battery backup power to the ECU.  It's labeled in the shop manual as dedicated fuse #11.  It is located under the hood in the main fuse box.

 You can also do a basic check against the diag pin (pin 1) of the OBD-II connector. ​ Check the voltage on the cars' OBD-II pin 1 without the DSMLink adapter attached. It should be ~5V or higher. If not, something is grounding it. This can make the ECU behave oddly, prevent DSMLink communication,​ and may cause problems with your locks. You can also do a basic check against the diag pin (pin 1) of the OBD-II connector. ​ Check the voltage on the cars' OBD-II pin 1 without the DSMLink adapter attached.

-This one's pretty rare, but it does happen. ​ If one (or more) of the pins in the car's diagnostic connector is loose, then all your checks with the multimeter will still work fine. But when you plug in the DSMLink ​cable, that pin (or pins) can actually just "push in", away from the cable, and simply not making ​contact with the cable. Check to see if that might be happening. ​ Try grabbing the pins in the car's diagnostic port one at a time with a pair of long nose pliers and seeing if there'​s any movement as you push in/pull out on them.+This one's pretty rare, but it does happen. ​ If one (or more) of the pins in the car's diagnostic connector is loose, then all your checks with the multimeter will still work fine.
