Remote start is disabled if the check engine light is on.

Any electrical mods since it last worked? I ask because I recently used an add-a-fuse to power new switch for driving lights. I tapped in to fuse #38 (delayed accessory/110v power/radio. First time I used one of those and didn't use 2 fuses. Remote start wouldn't work, single honk. Added another fuse and everything works just fine.

j, first thing to check is the remote battery. Mine started doing the same thing, service gal said try a battery first. Dang, that worked. Good luck

BTW, Wally World has replacements if needed.
