I bought a keyless entry module that came with the key fob and the ECM, but it still won't do anything. The dash just says I key issues read owner's manual or something.

The aftermarket keyless entry module will probably not work with this car so that gives you the U0100 code which indicates a communication problem with the Engine Control Module (ECM). Specifically, this code means "Lost Communication With ECM/PCM 'A'." Can you tell me how you installed the unit? Also, can you disconnect the aftermarket part and is the car okay?

Gotcha, okay when the keyless module goes out or you have lost power to the grn/yel wire at the push button start module. Here is a guide to help check it for you and I have included the push button wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.
