Angry Check Starting System message

Does anyone know why the "Check Starting System" message (in the center display) would
come on sporadically after getting the transmission rebullt? In 15 start-ups it has happened twice. The 2nd time it took 10 attempts before it would turn over to start. The rebuild was performed at AAMCO in Laurel, Maryland, and they couldn't figure out the problem. At first we thought my Viper alarm might be the problem. However that can't be the probelm since the it is sporadic and all the wires for the alarm including remote start are under the dash. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check grounds, loose wires, loose wiring/sensor connectors, etc.

Sounds likely it's related to the trans rebuild. Something knocked loose or not properly reconnected.

That'd be my first guess anyhow.

AAMCO said they checked all of the connections when the "Check Starting System" light first came on. As of today the car will not start no matter how many times I turn the key.
