This is a concern with the Tech 2® software and is expected to be resolved in the near future. When diagnosing remote vehicle start for being inoperative or intermittently inoperative follow the diagnostics for Remote Vehicle Start Inoperative in SI.

The remote start system is reset by Inserting the vehicle's key into the ignition switch and turning it to RUN.
