Command start issues

[PatL]

Good morning! I'm having trouble getting my command start to work. Fresh battery in fob. Nothing happens at all when trying to use the fob. It's on a 2014 Ram Sport 1500. Any tricks on how to make it work?

Morning! Were you ever able to command start it before?

Yeah, worked just fine before. Lights don't even blink. The fob still locks and unlocks the doors and the lights blink, it's when I want to start it, nothing happens.

That sucks! Would your fob happen to have the option <Valet Mode> ?

Is there a check engine light on? or it's possible there is a problem with the hood switch ?

It also might have something to do with the coolant or oil pressure.

1. Unlatched Hood: An unlatched/open hood will prevent the remote start procedure.

2. Check Engine Light : If the (‘Check Engine Light’) is illuminated, the remote start system will not work. One of the reasons the light can illuminate is due to a loose gas cap! Reseal the cap, restart the car.

3. Coolant and Oil Pressure: Double check your engine coolant and oil temperatures: If the engine coolant temperature is too high or the oil pressure is too low, the remote start is disabled!

If s door isn't completely closed it won't start either.
