Computer problem
1996 Cadillac El Dorado V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 85.000 miles

The car will crank but wont start, I have checked already all fuses, I disconnected /Clean battery terminals.I ohmed the 2 white VATS wires and has the same Ohms(2.35) like the VATS Key.
With that being said I dont think the culprit is the ignition lock ,since the car cranks and the VATS wires aren't broken.
It has to be either the VATS Module or ECM.
Please Help!!!

Have you done a relearn on the pass-key?
GM PASS LOCK RELEARN- Ignition to "run" position, try to start and let key return to "run" position
Approx ten minutes security light will go off
Turn key "off" and wait 5 seconds
Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 relearns.
Turn key off, then start it
