Check fuse #17 (20amp) in the under dash fuse box. It also powers the cigarette lighter.

I want you to take a multimeter and test pins 4 and 5 on the obd2 connector for ground make sure they read 2 ohm's or less to ground.Pin 16 should have battery voltage.If pin 16 doesn't have battery voltage then check fuse number 17 in the battery junction box.
