Upon hooking up the OBD scanner, I get a C0899 (Device voltage low), a C0561 (ABS disabled, invalid
serial data received), and P0673 (#3 Glow plug circuit). The first (and maybe the second) may be due
to low batteries, which I've treated badly this winter - only short trips to the store, etc. Trips
that should have been made walking or riding a motorcycle. So, the charger is on, and we'll see what
happens when the batteries are up to snuff.


"Glow plug" figured prominently in those threads I read about remote
start not working. It might be worth a shot. Does it run a little
rough for a minute on a regular start? I don't know a lot about
diesels but I am guessing if a glow plug was not working, it would
miss a bit until it started "dieseling"
It may just be a loose connection I guess.


Oh, and charging the batteries didn't change any of the readings. Looks like I've got an ABS problem
and a glow plug problem.


10 things to check:
Improper Starting Procedure
Vehicle Not in ?Park?
Too Many Remote Start Attempts
Coolant and Oil Pressure
Unlatched Hood
Hazard Warning Lights
The Key is in the Car
Check Engine Light
Dead Keyfob Battery
Check the Manual-
