Not sure about the 16 message, but the 17 code usually means that the Dec. cable isn't making good contact. Go to this page , scroll down to the bottom of the page. There are two choices. Buy a pair of the second choice...two 3' cables.

These cables are very soft and will not wallow out the Dec socket. Several CGE owners have had great success with these cables, including me. The stock cables are quite stiff and because of the severe bend in the Dec. cable, it finally gets to a point that the plug/socket doesn't make good contact giving you the code.

For what they cost, it's worth a try. Cured my problem.
