Good morning. Started my car this morning remotely and within about 8-10 seconds it shut off. Went out and looked at the display and it said remote start disabled. It has a little less than 1/4 tank of gas and I left the hood up all night so it would be cool this morning to add a little coolant after I changed back to the stock tstat from 180 tstat. That was another post. Any help/advice would be wonderful.

Possibly too low on fuel?

I heard about this before. I didn't take a deep look but this is from another forum, hood ajar?

Remote start

I got this car used. When I bought it the remote start worked. Now when I try to use it the car will start then about 10 seconds later it goes off. Anyone know what this could be?

hood open

Hood was closed but isn’t there a switch that indicates that it’s opened or closed?

I've found that if you open the hood then lock the car, then close the hood then try to remote start it the car will still think the hood is open and it will shut off. I know if Im going to open the hood, I leave the car unlocked. Then when I close the hood, I lock the car and the remote start works perfectly. But this is some sort of bug or maybe intended action.

I used to come home after ripping it around and pull in the garage. I would shut the car off, open the hood then close the door and lock the car with the button on the door handle. Then later that evening after the car cooled off, I would close the hood. Then next morning try to remote start and it would not stay on and do what you are saying.

So like I said I stopped locking the car while the hood was open. If I left the car unlocked then closed the hood, then remote started it, it would be totally fine and stay running. I have seen this behavior with other cars that people posted remote start issues with.

Mine does this. Nothing open, half a tank of gas. Just doesn’t work sometimes and shuts off with the above message.

Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
The EVIC message stays active until the ignition is cycled

it’s intermittent and so the dealer probably won’t be able to diagnose it until it becomes more common because let’s face it they don’t care as much about warrantied cars. Anyone else have this issue and Find a solution?

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Will try that sequence after work.

Low battery. After it starts, even though it had enough to start it, the car goes through a quick check and if there's anything it doesn't like, it will shut down. If you've got a battery maintainer, put it on overnight charge.

thanks! Will try that and see what happens. Sounds like it could be a cause.

I'll bet it's the fuel level. Anything below a 1/4 and my scat would shut off and the same happens with my cat.

One thing I’ve noticed is when it’s low fuel level the message indicator will mention low fuel

The hood latch switch may be going bad.
