This morning I tried using the remote start on my PIU. The truck would try to crank but it wouldn't turn over. When I went outside and used my key to start, the engine fired right up but the engine light came on. So I fired up Forscan and checked the codes and it was P068A. I researched it a little and it is PCM power relay de-energized too early. Is this something I really need to be concerned about or is just a one off fluke? If it matters the only programming I've done with Forscan was activating dark car.

Thanks
 






An active CEL will disable the Remote Start automatically.

Clear the code and see if the symptoms return. If they do, return your ABD to original and retest.

Dark Car only fiddles with the BCM so I would be surprised if that program change caused problems with the PCM.
 






I cleared the codes and so far it hasn't come back. Hopefully it was a fluke think.
