Be careful when probing pins on the Data Link Connector.
Note - The top row of pins begin with #1 from the left, and end with #8 on the right. The bottom row begin with #9 from the left, and end with #16 on the right.
Verify that you have B+ (battery voltage) to pin #16 of the DLC (Data Link Connector - OBDII port). This terminal should be powered at ALL times.
Also verify that the cigar lighter doesn't work.
Verify ground at body ground pin #4 and sensor ground pin #5 also.
Check resistance between pins 6 and 14 on the DLC with the key off. Should be 0, 60, or 120 ohms. Everything is OK if it is 60 ohms.
Pins 6 and 14 are the CAN bus (+) and (-). Pin 6 is the CAN serial data high line
Verify 5 volts at pin #10.
Also Verify 3.5 volts at pin #7 (ISO bus).
Check for v-reference short by unplugging the two wire sensors and testing:
EOT, ECT, IAT1 (MAT at the MAF, IAT2, TFT, WIF sensor. Also the ambient air temp and cab air temp through the HEC).
Check for v-reference short by unplugging the three wire sensors and testing:
Fan speed sensor (in fan clutch connector wiring), APP, EGR valve, ICP, EBP, MAP, BARO, TPS sensors, vehicle speed sensor.
