Take it to your dealer. Don't you love all this electronic crap?

Mark, thank you, so you don't think this will just need reset? I tried ONSTAR, and they said everything else looks good (engine, transmission, etc) but they can't help on this and stated the same thing you said. I'll probably end up at the dealer.
If the battery was completely dead the computers probably need to be flashed (programmed). On many newer vehicles the computers must be powered up all the time. Otherwise they "forget" important things! Hope that helps! Jim
