about a month ago my check engine light went on for two days (i didnt get a chance to get the code checked out) and after the two days it went back off.
On the fourth day i got home then when i was going to leave again my car went on then turned off immediately. I turned it on again and again it went back off immediately. After that when i turn the key it does not turn on or engine does not even make a sound to try to start up again.
I though it was the starter, changed it but nothing. Still wont start up. My dad is a mechanic so he went under the car to make sure the starter is getting power and it is. So he tried to start it up from under with a screwdriver and the engine does start up but it will not turn on.
checked all fuses they are all good.
battery is good.
im stuck, i feel like it might be a sensor, i pluged a computer but did not throw me a code.
car still wont start up or even make any noise when i turn the key.
all might dashboards lights come up so my battery is good.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks guys.
The car not starting is the result of a permanent Limp mode. A permanent Limp mode DTC recovers when the key is cycled. [B]HOWEVER [B] if the same DTC is detected for three key cycles ( on off starts ) the system does not recover (car won't start) and the DTC must be cleared with a scan tool. You must be able to scan the transmission codes with a DRB III tool. The standard OBD II scan tools won't give you the DTC you need. Many transmission DTC cause permanent start engine lock outs. If you can lock/unlock your doors then i doubt the SKREEM is your problem.
Simple SKREEM test: Lock your doors from outside the vehicle with the FOB then look inside at the Tow-Away Alarm Switch. Is it flashing?? If not then you have a SKREEM problem. If it does flash then the SKREEM module should be OK.
