remote start is disabled as a safety precaution when the check engine (MIL) light is on...get your check engine light checked out/repaired and your remote start will operate again.

Hit the unlock button and then the lock button twice and get the chirp. After that hold down the start button until the lights flash on the car. Release the button and the car starts.
