Maybe it means that SCU is somehow working (like detecting the key, disabling immobiliser) but just doesnt send up POS3 starter command ?
dunno, just thinking out loud...
the scu ( ignition switch) has sets of contacts just like an old fashioned one , but they don't carry current just send signals to the CEM , The scu also has the antenna ring for the immobiliser chip in the key .
