I put the end of one probe into the wire connection point on the module and the other probe onto the body of the car.

I also tried disconnecting the both the lock and unlock wires and testing the voltage and got barely any, if any, readings. I tested the voltage in this case by connecting one probe to the output wire and the other probe to the body of the car to complete the circuit.

Could my unlock wire possibly not be brown with a red stripe?

Thanks again! This is baffling me.
okay so you and I are on the same page, yes...

- Brown wire to small Black/white wire on right side immobilizer
- Brown wire to small Black/green wire on right side immobilizer

will show voltage when nothing is happening.

when you ground this wire (make sure the door latch thinks it is latched by using a screw driver and flipping the latch.) when you ground one of these wires the door will lock or unlock.

This is what your aftermarket door module is suppose to be doing, supplying a momentarily ground to each of these wires depending on if you are locking or unlocking the car

when you use a voltmeter the voltage should go to zero momentarily when the lock button is hit.
