Clean the key chip thing with alcohol and replace battery in key fob. That literally might be it.
Also check the ground for the fob which if I remember per another thread is right driver's side rear wheel well. Look at the chassis , you should see the ground. Might have gunk or paint on it. Be sure it's clean and tight.

So I am now getting the security light full time. I also got a charging fault and have had a no start condition a couple times (might be a separate issue).
Current codes:
BCM B2723 PASS-Key Detection Circuit
IPC U1255 Generic Loss Communications
RDCM U1096 Loss of Communications with IPC
I had the traction control/abs go off randomly. Not sure of all these are related, or if my car is just getting long in the tooth. I noticed an oil drip, too.

Ok Bill, just so I am clear, the VATs can cause BOTH a "Start and no go" AND a "No start" condition? The no start seemed like a battery type issue, but if they are both VAT related, that's my focus now.
Drove to work with no lights and no issues today, so that was nice.

You have an INTERMITTANT issue. The SECRET to figuring out what is causing your PROBLEM/S is/are:
Reading the DTCs immediately when the issue happens (BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE IGNITION SWITCH!!!!) Do NOT turn the ignition switch off and back on to read the DTCs
If you have ant messages on /in the DIC, press reset till they disappear and then read the DTCs. Post up ALL that are posted including the "H" & or "C" suffix's
NO, the VATS will not cause the 2 mph fuel cut off. If you have a VATS issue and attempt to repeatedly try to start the engine (after 3 attempts), the PCM will LOCK out future attempts for 12 mins!
YES, the VATS will cause NO CRANK issue.
The VATS and Column Lock have two completely different DTCs. That is why I stress that you read the DTCs when the problem/s is / are occurring.

Thanks a lot, Bill. That is how I usually run codes, at time of code, and clear if I can
Yesterday I had no messages and no lights (I had cleared everything the night before) to and from work. When I got home, I ran codes and the only one was the BCM 2723-H. It allowed me to clear it before I shut it off.
This morning the Security light has returned. No message was displayed on the DIC at start up, but the light stayed on once running.
