Default Help with Codes - No Start

Let me just say it was difficult enough just trying to figure out where to stick the damn paperclip...

95 with OBDII connector (16 pin). Finally figured it out and jumped 4 and 12. Got following codes:

H53 (Low voltage?)
1.

---
1.

---
9.

---
A.


then

1.0


Next I got from banging around on the trip comp buttons...


H53
1.1



Voltage on display is 11.9, yesterday when it wouldn't start it was 12.9 or so. That's got to be enough to at least trigger the solenoid, no?

From here 53=ECM detected a battery voltage either above 17.1 volts or below 8 volts.


But it's behaving like a VATS problem, I saw somewhere a code 53 might be PASS Key Open which leads me to this:

http://www.vettetop100.com/crowz/1995.htm

Service Bulletin Number: 01-053
Bulletin Sequence Number: 062
Date of Bulletin: 9502
NHTSA Item Number: SB039336
Make: CHEVROLET
Model: CORVETTE
Year: 1995
Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER
Summary: INTERMITTENT OPEN GROUND ON VATS CIRCUIT OF THE CCM CAUSING VEHICLES TO EXPERIENCE A NO CRANK CONDITION. *TW

Ok, solutions?
VATS bypass?
How do I find out the resolution to Service Bulletin Number: 01-053?

Crying shame to have a vert parked while the weather is still nice.
