OBD shortened--Car won't start--Please help!!

Ok I did a stupid mistake and shortened pin16 to ground instead of pin 9 for abs reset, there was a spark and car won't start now. The green key is flashing constantly on the cluster which has something to do with immobilizer.
Car cranks but won't start like there is no spark. I've checked fuses but don't see anything work, also the HDS will not connected to car.
Car is a 2004 TL.
What fuses, relays could've been blown or is the immobilizer ecu gone bad ?
Any help will be really appreciated.

Never mind guys I found my problem. Turns out it was the fuse #8 under the hood seems like it's the body ecu or something important.
I hope this this will be useful for someone.

Just be aware, fuses are primarily designed to save the wire. It's not always a great idea to go shorting wires. The wrong jumper positions might cook an ECU. Be careful if you plan on doing this.

In your case, pin 16 is just battery power. Shorting that just pops the fuse, and might screw up your contacts in the connector a little bit. Not a big deal.
