Crank the engine, because the ignition coil will only get power when the engine is either cranking or running.

Otherwise the two most likely causes for this missing voltage are: 1.) The Auto Shut Down (ASD) relay is BAD or 2.) the crank sensor is BAD.

If both wires actually are grounded I would suspect a pinched wire harness causing both wires to short to ground.
