I connected the green connectors and proceed to watch the blinking led. Only it isn't giving me a code other than the 7 designating flashes for my car. When I unplug the connectors the led will flash the codes. In this case it gave me 51 neutral switch open. Anyone have an explanation why the test connections don't work like they should? Thanks!

Iirc, there is more to getting to read memory mode than just connecting those. If you are getting a code without them connected, fix that fist. It will clear, then, if anything else is wrong, it will be shown.
