I’ve been having some trouble with the remote start feature on my Chevrolet, and I’m looking for some advice or tips from those who might have experienced similar issues. Here’s what’s been happening:
Issue Description
Model: 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
Symptoms: The remote start simply doesn’t respond when I press the button on my key fob. No beeping sound, no lights flashing—just nothing.
Attempts to Fix:
I’ve checked the battery in the remote, and it seems fine.
I’ve tried standing closer to the vehicle when attempting to start.
The locks work perfectly, but the remote start feature is MIA.
Possible Causes
I’ve been doing some research, and I’ve come across a few potential reasons why this might happen:
Faulty Key Fob: Could the key fob itself be the issue?
Battery Issues: Is it possible that the car’s battery might be too low for the remote start to function?
Sensor Malfunctions: Are there sensors that prevent the remote start if there’s a problem, like the hood being open or any doors ajar?
Software Glitch: Has anyone had success with resetting the system?
Questions
I would appreciate any troubleshooting steps or solutions that have worked for you. If someone has a Chevrolet service handbook or guides on this, please share!
Thanks in advance for the help! Looking forward to your advice!
I had a similar issue with my Chevy. Sometimes the security system can trigger and prevent the remote start. Check for any security alerts on your dashboard!
