So just bought a loaded 2500 SLT but can’t get remote start to work. What am I doing wrong?

The vehicle cannot be remote started if:
. The key is in the ignition.
. The hood is not closed.
. There is an emission control system malfunction and the malfunction indicator lamp is on.
. Fuel level is too low.

The engine will turn off during a remote vehicle start if:
. The coolant temperature gets too high.
. The oil pressure gets low.


And while were at it:
- each 'start' is only good for 10 minute
(Means 2 10 minute starts or one start and a 10 minute extension)
- after the 2 starts, the key must be cycled before it will function again.


Starting the Engine Using Remote Start
1. Press and release lock button.
2. Immediately press and hold crank button until the turn signal lamps flash or for at least four seconds.

When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will turn on. The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.

The engine will continue to run for 10 minutes.
After 30 seconds, repeat Steps 1 and 2 for a 10-minute time extension


If you have the 'elevated idle' enabled, it will work when remote started (if cold enough, etc)

It does cycle the glow plugs before it cranks.

My manual tells me to press the lock button twice, then immediately press the remote start and hold it down until the truck starts (takes about 5 seconds)

2010 Sierra (LMM) process is also one press of lock button

/ (Remote Start): This button will be on the RKE transmitter if you have remote start.

To start the vehicle using the remote start feature:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter's lock button.
The vehicle's doors will lock.

Immediately press and hold the transmitter's remote start button until the turn signal lights flash.
If you cannot see the vehicle's lights, press and hold the remote start button for two to four seconds.

Pressing the remote start button again after the vehicle has started will turn the engine off.
