Unsure about CAN Jaguar Errors

Rookie Here.
Jaguars Flashing Yellow Signalling a Comms problem.

Unsure if the the serial connector is pinned properly, I followed the instructions from this link
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14865
Noticed that this link and this Youtube video have different wires going in the same pins.(2,3,5).

I assumed the wires were universal, that is why i followed the written instructions. I used the Blue, Yellow and White wires on the adapter.
Made the termination, crimped onto pins 3 and 4 like instructed.

Another problem noticed was that the the usb-serial adapter on the laptop, has exclamation marks in control panel, but we did install the drivers.
Sometimes when we try to boot up the BDC-Comm, it would say Comm Fault.

I wonder if you guys could determine any errors I made making the db9-serial adapter or if you can solve the Comm Fault problem.

Should i just play it safe and use a voltmeter next time I wire the db9-serial connetor? Good thing i have a spare ready .

Thanks.
