If you can jump the TC pin to ground and read the codes thrown to the warning light, that can go a long way to see everything that's wrong. That aside, start checking the wiring for continuity between the ECU plugs and the COP plugs.

Here's a PDF that I've found useful

Turns out we had accidentally pinched the crank angle sensor wire in the AC bracket bolt and it had wrecked the wiring. No wonder I was getting an earth signal when doing tests where I shouldn't have been. New sensor in and it starts!

Code was 12 in the ECU so it was directing us to the right place. Just never thought to look there until we got the new sensor to take the old one out and replace it.
