There could be a problem with the Anti-Theft Control Unit box.
The remote control battery low message is probbly just an symptom of the theft module failure. You may find that the door locks stop working, windows, etc. and other sytems tied intot the anti-theft system.
You can run an OBD code check and see if it comes back as a fail theft module code.
