| Re: Weird experience~
When my 2009 CTS-V was about three weeks old, it refused to start. I saw a message to the effect that the remote was not recognized. The remote was in my pocket where it had always been before. After putting the remote in the special position reserved for remotes with weak batteries, it started and everything was OK after that.
Why did that happen? Well, all processor controlled devices can exhibit such strange behavior from time to time. Will it happen again? Maybe, maybe not. Both the remote and the remote receiver are run by microprocessors and their associated software. These electronic devices do strange things some times and after a reboot never fail again. The reboot sometimes requires removal of power, sometime not. If your car exhibits this strange behaviour again in a fairly short time (maybe serveral days), I would be concerned and have it checked out. If not, forget about it. |
