Cadillac STS 2008 V6 3.6, showing 'service theft system' warning but running ok. Then suddenly engine. Not cranking. Cranking once in a 100 attempts but showing 'reduced engine power' resulting in misfiring and not going beyond 1500 rpm.
Analysed on MDI COMPUTER, showing fault codes : U0100, U2105, U2106, U2120. Strange, because is virtually a brand new car, done 2,000 km only. It's a RHD CAR, bought from UK, AT ZERO KM IN 2010.

Today the car cranked but the engine was facing the following problems
1). Engine Check Light ( Engine Symbol ) steadily On.
2). Displays : Engine Power Reduced.
3). Displays : Service Theft System.
4). TC Light On.
5). RPM Not Going Beyond 1,500.
6). Burning Smell started within 3 to 4 mins, and
7). Battery Positive Cable became quite Hot.

Switched the engine off.

The car starts once in a few days like this, and  all, or some of the above things happen.
Then car does not start again
