Here we go:

No problem with the ABS whatsoever. Mechanic thinks the low voltage to the system was causing the
OBDII reading.

Batteries in great shape. No need to replace batteries. Computer was causing anomalies.

#3 glow plug was bad...replaced.

Remote starter now works as normal...must have been tied to the glow plug problem.

Total Bill...$339.80

I can live with that.

Think about it. I expected a bill in the $1000 to $2000 range, with new ABS stuff, new batteries,
much more labor, etc. I would not have balked had that happened. But, the shop didn't take advantage
of the situation like they easily could have. I'd bet that if I'd taken it to a Chevy dealer, I'd be
looking at a bill of at least a couple thousand bucks. But, I'd have the satisfaction of knowing the
work had been done by union labor!

Someone conjectured that the check engine light was causing the
shutdown after remote starting.

That sounds about right to me, and a reasonable precaution in my
opinion.

I had conjectured that the bad glow plug was causing the shutdown. But it could have been the glow
plug causing the CEL which then caused the shutdown. Oh well, it's running fine now.
