If it has an error message on the odometer screen it means the instrument cluster might be bad and not allowing the engine to start. To be sure we can do a CAN scan which is easy, you can get a CAN scanner from Amazon for about $30.00.

Here is a video to show you how:

Does the scanner work on other vehicles? lets make sure fuse # FRT AUX 20 amp is good in the under hood fuse panel. This is what powers the scanner on. Also see if the fuse has power.
