So you have new front and rear batteries? New starter? If the key is recognized, check the start enable value in EIS and ECM. Try this at your own risk..... turn the key to 2nd position and provide 12v to the small starter wire..... It should crank and if start enable message is ok it will also start and run. If not there is an issue with the drive authorization.
