Alright, another question about this system, and I promise I'll only ask once, yukonjacks

Do these have an auto-start feature that starts the vehicle when it hits a certain temp? I was under the impression they did (like if it hits 0 degrees, it'll start for 15 minutes or something), but can't find that info anywhere. Might be my mistake. I saw they had an temperature sensor and assumed it did something other then tell the temperature....lol

There may be an add on module, but I personally never heard of any. I know they have alot of add on features like window operation and voice command with sensors where you can actually alert someone if they get to close or poke there head in the vehicle with the window down, they have preprogrammed and self recorded to download, but I never seen anything on programmed start, the new ones that come out this year might, hell they do everything else almost.

well hell, the problem is of course that the trans computer and ECM talk back and forth and the ?PCM/BCM? runs the starter electronically. If any of them are unhappy during the remote start you are going to get some issue.

MIght I GUESS that all the ign AND all the acc are not being powered on? One of them is missing would be my guess, and something is on the missing one that one of the computers is looking for.
Anyway that would be MY guess, being stuck in OD (or 3rd) sounds like a typical limp/fail mode on an E-trans.


IF it starts and runs fine on the key only, then it has to be an alarm issue. IF not it could be a bad connection on something that was tapped into, or a wrong wire tapped into (tailshaft sensor instead of VSS for example)

heres what i know so far. autozone check and it threw 3 codes...all tranny related. i cleared the codes, disconnected the battery, and turned the key to the on position. waited 10 minutes and then started it up with the key only. no check engine light, no tranny issues...it ran fine.

this morning i used the remote start again. check engine light on, starts off in OD and the tranny problems are back. go back to autozone, do the same stuff as last night, and now it runs fine.

its clearly an issue with the way it was wired in. ill be taking it back monday morning and dropping it off. im getting aggravated.

hey, at least you now know it is 100% the remote start.

Yeah, not to minimize the annoyance, but that beats needing to replace the tranny. Silver-liners and all that....
