EVO-ONE after 1,5 years stopped

Question

After just over a year and half, and just less than a week ago it was working fine, my remote start no longer works. It acts like the vehicle battery is dead. I have checked the module, red led comes on, then yellow, then everything off like dead battery. If I pop the hood, it says not ready. Door open, not ready. So it tries but fails. Vehicle battery is fine, and vehicle starts fine with the key. Do I need to reflash the module? Defective module? Vehicle battery to low? 2004 Chevy Suburban 2LT Standard Key.

Lock, unlock, panic all work. I also have RFK4411 remotes. Same issue no matter which remote is used.

Hello,

Yes you can try re programming the evo in the vehicle (page4). https://fortin.ca/download/61101/EVO-ONE_IG_REG_BI_GM_ESCALADE-AVALANCHE-SILVER-SIERRA-H2_J1850_2003-2007_A_61101.pdf

Older Gm vehicles are quite notorious for the brake switches failing over time. I would also suggest temporarily disconnecting your brake wire to see if that has any effect on the system.

Also if any other aftermarket devices are in the truck and using the j1850 or the terminating resistor/factory radio is no longer in the truck this can affect the evo-one and stop it from working. I've seen this first hand in the past.

Best regards.
