If you’re like most motorists, you rely on your car’s engine to start when you need it. Maybe you want to warm up your engine before you head out for the day or maybe you just don’t feel comfortable leaving your car running unattended.

Whatever the reason, bypassing the check engine light is one way to do it. But what are the benefits of doing this? And is it really worth the risk?

In this blog post, we’ll show you how you can accomplish by passing the Check engine light, so follow along.

What is Check Engine Light?

This is a guide on how to bypass the check engine light on your vehicle to remote start it. If you have a warning light on your dashboard, chances are you don’t need to take it to the mechanic just yet.

There are several things that you can do yourself at home to try and fix the issue before you go too far down that path.

The first step is to make sure that there’s no problem with the car’s engine itself. If the check engine light is coming on because of an issue with one of the car’s vital systems, then fixing that system will likely resolve the problem and turn off the light.

Next, try resetting all of the car’s electronics. This includes the computer, sensors, and more. Sometimes a simple reset can clear up a lot of issues with a car’s electrical system.

If all of these solutions fail to get rid of the check engine light, then you’ll need to bring your vehicle in for service. But before doing anything else, it’s worth checking out some other potential causes for the warning light.

A faulty catalytic converter or oxygen sensor could be two common culprits. In most cases, simply replacing either of these parts will fix whatever was causing problems in the first place and turn off that annoying warning light.

Get A New Starter

If your car has a check engine light, there are ways you can bypass it to remotely start your car. The first way is to remove the code reader from under the hood and plug it into your computer.

This will give you a readout of the codes. Once you know the code, you can use an online tool to flash the code using software called OBD2Diag. Another way is to take the car to a mechanic who can do a scan for codes and then fix them.

Turn On and Off The Ignition Switch

Several methods exist to bypass the check engine light and enable the remote starting of your vehicle. Some require disassembly of the car, while others allow for easy access through the use of a key fob or button.

In all cases, it is important to follow the specific instructions provided for your make and model car.

One method involves using a relay. This is a small electronic device that can be attached to the wiring in your car’s engine compartment. When you turn on your ignition, the relay sends a signal to your car’s computer, Which in turn tells the engine to start.

Another method requires the use of a key fob or button. On most cars, there is a switch located near the ignition that allows you to remotely start the car without having to take it apart. Simply press or hold down the button until you hear your car start (or see the lights turn on).

Finally, there are some cars that allow you to start them without having to remove their battery at all. On these models, simply insert a key into their ignition and turn it clockwise until you hear a click (this will also disconnect any parasitic power sources from your vehicle).

Remove Battery Lugs

Removing the battery lugs can allow you to start your car remotely if the check engine light is on. This is a basic procedure that most cars should be able to do, but some may need additional parts.

If you have a car with a manual transmission, you will need to remove the wheel hubcaps and the battery cover. On cars with automatic transmissions, there are usually clips that hold these pieces in place. If yours doesn’t have any of these features, there are likely other ways to get at the battery.

Once you have access to the battery, pull out the cables that lead to it. There may also be screws or bolts holding it in place. Once everything is free, unscrew or loosen the bolts that hold the battery in place and pull it out of the car.

If your car has a power assist module (PAM) installed beneath the battery, disconnecting this will allow you to lift and remove the battery without having to remove anything else from underneath the vehicle.

Again, if your car doesn’t have a PAM, there may be screws or clips that need to be removed before removing the battery.

Once you’ve removed the old battery and put in a new one, reinstall everything in reverse order and reattach any cables that were disconnected during removal. Make sure everything is secure before starting your car and recheck the check engine light!

Remove Fuses

If you’re experiencing problems with your car, and the Check Engine Light is on. If you know how to remove the fuses, you can bypass the warning light and try to start your vehicle remotely.

Try A Code Reader

If you’re experiencing trouble with your car’s check engine light, there are a few things you can do to try and get it fixed remotely. One option is to use a code reader to read the error codes stored on your car’s computer.

This will help the service technician determine the cause of the problem and may allow them to fix it without having to come into your car. Code readers are relatively easy to use and can be purchased online or at most automotive stores.

Conclusion

If the Check engine light is preventing you from starting remotely, there are ways around it. By following these simple steps above, you can bypass the check engine light and remote start your vehicle.
