I've searched a lot of thread titles and threads, and didn't see this particular topic, but if it's out there, please post a link.
I have a 2016 Explorer XLT with the factory key fob activated remote start. A few days ago, I went to start the Explorer and went through the usual sequence - hit lock, then remote start twice and just got the 3 red flashes indicating a failure.
The one issue I had prior to noticing it is not working is the vehicle battery failed. I replaced the battery and have not noticed any other issues. I did get a CEL when the battery failed, but it went away after I replaced the battery.
I've gone into the Vehicle setup and disabled and re-enabled the remote start. I've tried both keys. I've tried it from near and far away. No combination will get it working again.
I've used FORSCAN to see if there were any codes, and there do not seem to be. I've watched the hood switch state in Forscan and it accurately shows open and closed positions.
I'm not knowledgeable enough in the Canbus to know what software flags to look for, but I do have access via Forscan.
Anyone have any thoughts, or even better, had this happen and found a fix?
Thx
