Hmm...I'm only unplugging it for about 30 seconds...and everything in ECU is cleared out..I have to reprogram windows and the engine almost dies out til I run it a few miles cause I need to change the plugs. I don't have any error codes when I read with techstream...I even cleared codes that weren't there.
It happened the first time with my eBay key...and I couldn't start it either. But the other 2 times it happened with my wife's original key that came with car. But when she trips the error, the car will start....it just thinks the key is still in the ignition and won't lock.

Lasted about 3 weeks I'm guessing. Driving everyday. I've got some gremlin in that security system or ignition cylinder...I dunno. Now it did it on my key again, it does start when it does it now..just can't lock the doors cause it thinks the key is in the ignition. Im unplugging the battery this time for 10min and see if that helps.
When I unplug the negative cable for 1min...the ecu clears out...the car almost dies (cause the plugs are over due for a change) and the check engine+VSC lights go out (cause I need to replace the thermostat...car us running too cold...cause the thermostat is stuck wide open, but what the hell, it's 95 out with 100℅ humidity...I don't mind...and I'm to lazy to change for just that)
This is driving me crazy..gonna change out remote batteries next
Help... please
