2013 Sport Remote Start not working...

[arabski]

My car (2013 sport, 65kkm) was parked outside my house for 3 weeks in 45+ degC weather, while I was enjoying Washington State cool summer time After coming back I tried to remote start and it didnt...(bummer) I thought the battery died, but when I approached the car, I disarmed the alarm, got in and started as if nothing happened.

 

One weird thing I also noticed is that breaks feel weird (the pedal is very tough and breaking isnt as precise and sharp as it used to). I guess 3 weeks in such weather the brakes require a check (bleeding, lecvel seems OK).

 

But what's with the remote start?

 

Stealership will be glad to service me somewhere within next 2 weeks, so I am looking to troubleshoot a bit myself...

Brakes is probably a failing booster. Your car should have an extended warranty on it.

 

For the remote start, try disconnecting the butterfly ~10 minutes and see it resets it. Also make sure the feature is enabled in the settings of the left cluster screen.

so... my remote started worked ever since I visited dealership... magic.

 

I paid for break disk skimming and new set of rear pads (front is still good at 65kkm), bleeding, new brake fluid... I came back home $250 lighter.... Brake booster - diagnosed as OK.

 

No changes in braking behavior... stiff pedal, crappy braking...

 

...Two weeks and 500km later - break pedal started making "pssss..." noise... they replaced brake booster for free... (warranty invoice $190).

 

Now I'm happy again...

 

It looks it is the second time my booster is replaced (my car participated in the brake booster recall in 2014...)
