It will not cause the car to not start. It should go away after time. Its just a wierd way of telling you, that you have reset the PCM.

It just means the battery has been disconnected recently. Make sure all the connections to the battery and starter are clean and secure.

Just because the battery turns on the interior stuff, doesn't mean it has enough juice to crank the car up. That is why I suggested to check the connections and make sure they are secure. Have you tried jumping it?

No we have not tried jumping it. the battery is fully charged(new) and the connections seem good and secure, the only noise is a little clicking.

You drain the battery though by continuing to crank the car, just a thought. Next step, would be the alternator.
