Overview - SKREEM SKIM (SKIS) and RKE Starting Difference?

This fuse isn't called out on the fuse maps.
Under the driver seat the top horizontal fuse is SKREEM related. Another SKREEM - Start Error related - Fuse #9 under the steering column.
Fuse #7 being open has also been reported to result in the Start Error message.
As a reminder.
ANYTIME there are odd electrically related operating symptoms it is worthwhile to check ALL fuses under the steering wheel and driver seat. The fuse maps/lists can be notoriously incomplete as to some important clues.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This isn't in-depth and radical. I have noticed per the Service Manual that the operation of the chipped key recognition seems to have some difference between the standard and key FOB remote option. I've been searching for some CAN bus or other commonality for the Start Error response and just noticed this during the search.
SKREEM - SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY MODULE
aka Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
The SKREEM module can contain dual function. Without the remote keyless entry option the SKREEM has the chipped key recognition capability only. With the remote key FOB option the SKREEM contains both the chipped key recognition and the RKE remote system.
I'll include this overview information for review before discussing the possible start sequence response difference.
84, 87 - 94
Note that there are differences in the "Start Error" response.
The RKE Keyless FOB will crank and stall within approx. 2 seconds.
The SKIM standard unit (no FOB) remains immobilized and not crank at all.
