Thanks all
In the diagrams that I have access to for the 2011 and 2012 models, both show that the K-CAN wires are Orange/Green (Orange with a Green stripe) at pin #46 and Green at pin #10. Reading the directions you provided show on page 7 and 14 the same colors at those pins (slots).

Is there a chance that you are not looking at the 54 pin connector X14271. I believe the connector should be black. Check for those wire colors in the harness to X14271.

Any chance of snapping a picture of the connector you are looking at along with the junction box?

If you need the diagrams PM me with your email address.
Oh sweet! I'll definitely take pics when I can get under the dash tomorrow. Thanks
