Check Engine Light and Remote Start Issue

[NewYorker93]

CEL came on and now the remote start is messing up. Hit the button on the fob, it starts, runs about 10 seconds, then shuts off.
One of my troopers had this happen with his Durango and says it's basically the system seeing a problem and aborting.
Got an appointment at my service center next Monday. Will get codes pull and check for any software updates.

Anyone else had the remote start shut down after a few seconds when the CEL is on?

My 16 R/T also shuts down the remote start anytime the CEL is on and flashes a message remote start canceled

So far have not had this issue. Keep us posted on the corrective action that service center provides. RJD

Had the very same thing, car is in for the Steering Knuckle TSB, CEL came on the day before it went in, P2097 - there is a TSB for that too, the PCM Needs reflated as it’s too sensitive…

48hrs without a car, they better have it ready tomorrow or they can hire me a car

Yes, remote start will not stay on if any warning lights are on, including low fuel.

Not on this one, but previously with remote start on another. Keep us posted, sounds like another new one.

Can confirm, just about any check engine light will cause remote start to behave as you mentioned. It was happening to me last winter because the active exhaust valves didn't like negative Fahrenheit temps. Worst time for remote start to refuse to work Supposedly a TSB for another issue fixed the vales. Crossing my fingers for this winter.

They should just provide you under warranty. Dealers have loaners and get paid something like $45 a day billed under warranty

I had mine with an engine light they took it in and it seems there’s a software update going on, the guy explained that there was some unaccounted recalls flaring up. I’m pretty sure your problem will disappear as soon as they reflash everything.

Oh, I'm sure it'll disappear after the reflash as it did when I took it in for the CEL a few months back in August. The only difference is I had no remote start issue with the CEL back then.
