So this past weekend I experienced a weird problem. It was 7 degrees out and I started my truck no problem. Drove about 10-15 minutes to UPS and parked my truck just to go inside and drop off my package. I came back and try to start it and boom only one slow crank. So I'm sitting there and keep trying and it seems each time it's sounds weaker. I suspect the battery so I called my wife and she came and we jump start the truck no problem. Since then I have a check engine light on I suspect from low voltage. I replaced the battery last night and drove about 35 miles since then. Anyway... I remote start the truck and it shut itself off after maybe 10-15 seconds of running. Is it because of the check engine light? OEM remote starter. I will read the codes and reset it today after work.

Remote start stops because check engine is on?

I know about the low fuel but didn't knew about the check engine light. Will have to reset it today then
If you changed the battery, the IBS could take as many as 8 key cycles/run to properly set.
