Why is my Acura remote start flashing red?

Why is my Acura remote start flashing red?
The red flashing light on your Acura remote start indicates that the remote is out of range. The remote start feature typically has a range of over 300 feet, but this range may be reduced if there are obstructions such as concrete walls. If you are inside your house and the remote start is not working, it is possible that the signal is not reaching your vehicle.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
1. Ensure that your vehicle is locked.
2. Press the lock button on your remote start fob.
3. Press and hold the engine button on your remote start fob.
If the red light continues to flash and the remote start does not work, it may be helpful to check if there are any other factors affecting the remote start functionality, such as a low battery in the remote or a problem with the remote start system itself. In such cases, it is recommended to consult with your Acura dealership or a certified technician for further assistance.
Please note that the information provided is based on general knowledge about Acura remote start systems and may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Acura vehicle. It is always best to refer to the owner’s manual or contact an authorized Acura dealer for accurate and detailed information regarding your specific vehicle.
