NATS system causing car not to crank
so i've narrowed down a cranking issue i've been having with the car not cranking. Turns out it is the NATS system/antenna or malfunction in or around that area. I've confirmed this with the red light on the dash near the window. If i put the key in and turn to ACC and if the light is solid red, then my car won't crank. However if the light is not on then my car will crank and run fine.
what scratches my head is how all this happened.
this past weekend (with no prior cranking issue) i took my car out to an autocross event. On my last run of the day, i oversteered, lost control of the car and stalled it (didn't clutch in fast enough and car was still in gear when it came to a stop). After it stalled I turned the key over to crank but it didn't want to turn over. took the key out and cranked again and everything fired up and i finished the run.
Since then, my car has been having cranking issues due to the NATS system. Could stalling the car out like that cause this NATS issue?

NATS cuts the fuel pump, you can spin the engine all day, but no fuel.

Have you tried a spare key and getting out of the locked state?

To reset a NATS lock mode, a proper key must be cycled three times again to get the car to start, explaining why with even using the original key, it took three tries to start.
