code 16 is System relay contacts open. Here's the trouble sheet for that, which they refer to as P1003. Good luck.

That flow chart for trouble codes is great, where did you find it, and are there other charts for other codes.

Had a problem on my 98 after orginal purchase. After I would wash it, it wouldn't start. Let it sit for a couple of days, then no problem. Found that water had gotten into the computer via the area by the main connector. Took cover off computer only to find that there was no seal between the board and the cover. Applied a good bead of silicone between baord and cover, no more problems.......
