Remote Start Not Working

Post by shreksbrother »

Hello,

I recently picked up a 2012 Caprice. I confirmed on the build sheet that it has option BTV. The remotes I was provided by the municipality have the start button. I've confirmed that remote start is enabled in the digital display.

When I press lock and then hold the starter button for a few seconds, the parking lights flash, but nothing else happens. I've tried it repeatedly.

Searching these forums, I've seen where people say to press lock twice then hold the start button. This yields the same results.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Adam.

Also check the continuity of the hood latch circuit. My wire was damaged and was doing the same thing as yours till I repaired it.

No check engine light. I'll shoot the wires on the hood latch.

Thanks, Adam.
