Hi, my remote start would not work, check engine light on.  I disconnected battery cable, let it sit a while, re-connected battery cable.  Started car, no engine light. Put new battery in remote.  Remote start does not work.  Check engine light does not come on.

 

Any  idea why remote start will not work?  Would like some ideas before I go to a dealer.  Possibly some kind of emissions sensor or a fuse?  Can NAPA check the code if there is not a check engine light on?  Thanks

Code is still present. Remote will not work until it is cleared by problem being fixed.

 

Safety feature.

Are you sure the remote start is non functional? Mine would not work because of a check engine light. So I fixed that, and it still would not remote start.

 

Turns out that I needed to read the owners manual.

 

I did not know that I had to press the door lock button first, and then hold the remote start button to get it to .... remote start.

1.  CEL is now off because I reset the system by disconnecting the battery for 15 minuets.  But problem could still exist.  I don’t want a $400 plus bill for the dealer to replace the sensor which will get me about 1/2 mile per/g  with a little more efficient burn.

 

2. would be nice to over-ride the issue;but how do you decide the issue?  Thus the NAPA code reader.  Will it work with the CEL off??

 

3.I have read the manual at least 3 times.  I have also done internet search’s.  Yes cas cap is on as it doesn’t have one,  maybe something to do with flapper.  Maybe wire to hood latch,  and maybe other issue.

 

Going to to NAPA.  Hoping they can identify the problem.

Until you pull the code you are just throwing guesses into the wind. As long as the CEL is stored in the ECM and the issue is not fixed and the ECM self-clears the code the remote start wont work. If you clear the CEL all it is gonna do is work for a bit, then once the CEL triggers again it will lock out the remote start.

 

Start with the basics, get the truck scanned and get the code then go from there.

You could buy an OBD2 code reader on Amazon, and reset the codes every so often. Not ideal, but it may fix the problem.

 

Clearing the codes with a scanner takes about 15 seconds.

 

The code reader costs $10.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      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." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
