Remote Start System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Chrysler Voyager and 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before attempting to diagnose a problem with the remote starting system, first be sure the starter motor and starter solenoid are working properly. The starter should operate with the use of the keyless go switch. Any starter or solenoid problems must be repaired first.

Also be sure the engine will easily start and run with the use of the keyless go switch. Any engine running, idling or performance concerns must be addressed first.

All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:

Shift lever in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
HAZARD switch off
BRAKE switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
FOB PANIC button not pressed
System not disabled from previous remote start event
Vehicle theft alarm not active
Ignition in OFF state
Suitable fuel level condition

Using the diagnostic scan tool, confirm that all relevant switches and operations are within proper specifications.

If all of the previous tests checked OK, and the remote starting system will not operate. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
