Pins 6 and 4 which you can usually jump to get the flash code does not work anymore and even with plugging my tech 2 tool in doesn't read ? It'll just stay waiting for data and never load?

I don't think this car can have the check engine light blink codes, it must be done with the scanner, make sure the scanner works in another car, here is a video to help us fix it:

Also, please check the fuse# c-14 (stoplight A/T cont) in the fuse panel at the left kick panel inside the car.

This guide can help as well:

No it usually flashes I've jumped pins 4 and 6 multiple times before getting a tech 2 and the c 14 fuse was fine

Flash code method - but only if it’s the early OBD-II hybrid setup. I would turn the car on, engine not running and check all of the other fuses especially to the PCM.

Would you know which fuses that would be that I'd have to check?

Yes, the FL-3 ECM fuse under the hood, and the c-8 engine fuse c-9 IG coil fuse and the c-4 elec-ign fuse in the fuse panel under the dash. This guide can help.
