It could be numerous things...

You may have not coded the key correctly, in fact from the top of my mind you'll need to get Mitsu to code the key for you.

Before the battery change, did the same problem occur?? If not, then worse case is your ECU is buggered. I can't say thats true, but in recent timings I have seen newish cars having their battery changed "incorrectly" resulted in an ECU damage. I can't define "incorrectly" because I was never present when the batteries were changed.

this was happening to me. it turned out that my immoboliser plug was corroded so i had them take it off and solider it together. havent had a problem since
