If this happens, you’ll need to remove the battery and replace it in order to be able to start the car.
What is a Check Engine Light?
When your car has a check engine light, it means that there is an issue with the engine. This can be caused by a number of things, but most commonly it is due to an error in the fuel system. If the problem is not corrected, the check engine light will disable your car’s remote start functionality.
