My 2015 EcoD won't start today. Been running flawless...no codes. Push button acc/start.....I can hear fuel pump working....press to start and I get a short burst of life then engine shuts off. Battery voltage appears to be good. AGM battery 2 years old. Tried starting a dozen times and same issue each time. Nothing on EVIC and no codes on reader.......stumped....please any help would be appreciated

Well, I go to get my truck with our local tow truck driver and he wants to have a listen so I try to start it half a dozen times ....same issue. He immediately thinks its a key fob / security issue the way it just cuts off with no CEL or codes on reader. So we disengage the transmission lock switch and roll it about 30 feet to position it for the flat deck....and on a whim I jump in and it fire right up. No issues drives flawlessly the 20 kms to the dealer. I explain to lead mechanic the issue and he asks to see my FOB ...he comes back 5 minutes later and says he's replaced the FOB battery no charge and to see what happens over the next couple days. I've now started the truck multiple times and it starts right up every time. .......bottom line is I'm still perplexed and crossing my fingers and toes that it was that simple. I'm out $60.00 for a tow service call and a $20.00 Tim Hortons gift card to the mechanic who was really great to deal with!
Cheers
