For number 5, the car will still start if it does not see any fingerprint. The fingerprint is only used as a mechanism to retrieve that persons stored memory. Anyone should be able to press the start button if the key is present inside the car, you'll get an unknown user error in the DIS but the car will still start. There are several antennas inside the car to detect the key, if one of these is faulty then replacing the button will make no difference.
