- Hood ajar switch status is - OPEN.
- Inserting the key in the ignition and turning the key to any non-off power modes, and returning the key to the OFF position
- The remote vehicle start (RVS) time has elapsed or timed out.

- RVS system voltage out of range, under 6 volts or over 16 volts
- DTCs set for any related systems, or serial data communication failure for any modules that support the RVS function
If the RVS master stops a remote vehicle start for any of these conditions, further remote vehicle starting is not allowed until a RVS RESET has occurred.
A RVS Reset occurs when, in an ignition switch vehicle, the key is inserted and rotated into the Run position, power mode of RUN is seen, and PCM Vehicle Theft Fuel Continue is received over serial data and passes VTD criteria.
This action results in resetting the RVS counters to MAX starts allowed and the RVS Attempts to 0.
