Remote Starter trouble - GMC Yukon Denali '08

[Bmorant1902]

While driving my Denali '08 to work today, the yellow alarm indicator light went off on my dashboard. Onstar claiming that it is a faulty electrical problem with the relay to the remote starter. After arriving at work, I tested the my remote starter and the engine did NOT start up! Onstar said to start the truck up 7 times; if it still doesn't work, bring it to the dealer. WTF??? Could this be a fuse perhaps? My Denali is still under warranty! 6.2 litre, 403 hp. AWD
Brgds.

Bmorant1902,

I agree, it sounds like an electrical issue. I encourage you to consult with a certified technician for additional assistance.

Please keep us posted.

Hi Louis,
Brought my truck into the GMC dealer.
It was actually a BAD solenoid that deals with the onboard emissions system. This is why the "check engine" light went off originally. I also learned that when the check engine light appears for anything, it automatically DISABLES the remote start system.
GMC replaced the solenoid part (UNDER WARRANTY) in one hour and everything is back to normal. YAY!
Thanks for the help.
