My guess would be the cable isn't seated properly. You could check continuity through the patch cable from the power commander to ecm, but both the front and rear coil lines been bad seems less likely than the cable just not being seated properly. You could use the software to check the connection to the power commander and use it to read data off the ecm to check the connection from it to the ecm.

You should hear the fuel pump run when you first turn on the bike though you have to leave it off a minimum amount of time for it to repressurize. You should also hear the IAC run when you turn it off. I assume the power commander can read dtc codes so check for those. The IAT and MAP should read ambient temp and pressure. The battery should show 14.1 or so though it may have dropped due to cranking. Cranking you should get 300 rpms or so.

If everything seems fine, software shows no problems then maybe the power commander is defective.
