No signal to one coil

dark green/ orange has power. It feeds into the harness for the 8/9 and 5/10 coil pack, 5/10 gets spark just fine, 8/9 does not. If I test the wires for 8/9 (ground wire from pcm) it gets a different reading than any of the working coils. I can't recall what the reading was because I've tested so much stuff at this point. But all I know is it's not doing its job. And if it was the harness, I should be able to splice directly from the pcm to the coil harness and get it to work. I've done that and still nothing.

Okay, I sent the pcm back to be checked and this is what they sent back. When I had it running, the voltage was never at 18V. Thoughts?VIN: Correct
Part#: Correct
Connection: Good
Circuitry: Burn / Over Voltage 18+
Traces: Burn / Over Voltage 18+
Bench/Simulator: Fail
Vehicle/Motor Test: N/A
Engineer: Mario V
Conclusion:
It has been determined that the ECC has received 18+ voltage supplied.
The ECC cannot withstand voltage over 17v.
Issues must be resolved within the vehicle prior to the re-installation of another ECC
Possible Causes:
Overcharging
Corroded connections
Extensive Cranking
Faulty Harness
Blown fuses
Burned fusible links in the electrical system
Battery jumped reverse polarity
Bad Battery
Bad Alternator
Shorted Coil
Faulty Ground
Faulty Crank Sensor
Faulty Solenoid

I found the problem finally. So I borrowed some alligator clips and back probing pins. My coworker recommended seeing if the coil was still working by changing where the wires were supplying ground using the clips. So I did that and had spark on the side giving me problems but not on the side that was working. So narrowed it down again to wires or computer. So I tried something different. This entire time I would splice a wire direct to the computer and to the last inch of the plug on the coil. This time I used the probes and went directly to the coil and directly to the computer. And I got spark on all cylinders. I found the last inch of the wire by the plug on the coil side had pulled inside the sheath. So I depinned it and rewired the plug.
Thank you everyone for the diagrams and insight.
