ok your problem maybe software related ,to solve this ,u will need to take both battery terminals off ,then take both & touch them together for a few like 10 seconds ,what that is going to do is to reset all the vehicles control module that have a issue ,note will not arm the vehicle in anyways what so ever ,now refit both & reset your time & date & u should be good ,if that works let me know ,if not get the codes read from the system & post it here ,good luck.
