Maxbotix Sonar Testing

So we have been attempting to get a sonar working on our robot this year, and well we've run into a problem. We wired it by cutting off the male end of the pwm. Then we soldered it black to ground, red to +5, and white to AN (analog).

We looked through their diagrams and information for the maxbotix sonar and we figured out that if we tested it with the voltmeter, it would show about 9.8 mV per inch, but when we tried actually testing it, we couldnt get it working. Any suggestions?
