2000 Silverado 5.3 remote-start dies after starting

I bought this truck recently and it came with a remote-start system already functioning properly.  I recently programmed a new FOB (which caused me to have to also re-program the old FOB), and now the remote-start will start the truck, but it then immediately dies.  It will continue to try to start the truck on its own, but always dies immediately.  This type of remote-start uses the original key FOB and it is a 3x-lock type (I press the lock button 3x and then it starts).  Again, I don't know the brand of remote-start system, but I'm guessing that it is the bypass module that needs to be recalibrated for the truck???  Do you think the procedure in the following link is what I need to do?  I don't want to try it and accidentally screw it up more.

 

It starts just fine with the key, though.

Are you getting any security lights on the dash? The start/shut off instantly is a sign that the BCM is not satisfied with the signal the PASSLOCK sensor is sending to it. That truck will either have a bypass module as you stated or a resistor in place to send the signal to BCM tricking the truck into thinking it always has a key in it.

 

I recently just battled with mine on a similar issue but the alarm system had been removed from my truck. (

Read through my thread and you may just need to do the relearn procedure for the key to get things going again.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it is a relearn problem....with the keys anyways. When I put the key in and turn to ‘on’, the security light doesn’t come on.

I would trace the yellow wire back from the ignition housing back to find the passlock bypass whether it be a module or resistor. You may also want to check the brake switch as a lot of aftermarket remote stars have a kill switch wired to them. If it starts, then immediately dies (like within in a second) it really sounds like the security system is not happy. Have you sat inside the truck and remote started to check for the security light?

I’m thinking the same thing. I just don’t know how to fix it yet. Here is a video of what I’m experiencing.

what brand remote start is it? some of the older remote starts if the battery is disconnected or the battery becomes weak/discharged the remote start module resets programing features.  some features are tach sensing or voltage sensing. if placed in tach sensing it needs to be programed, if voltage sensing it will just read 14.4 and stay running. to me sounds like its not getting a tach reading and shutting down. what brand remote start is it and i could look up programming features.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
