2020 SENTRA; REMOTE ENGINE START STOPS RESPONDING AND DTC P161F STORED
SERVICE INFORMATION

EXAMPLE:
1. The RES is activated,
2. The ignition is turned OFF; either by RES timer or directly by the start button or key,
3. Within 10 seconds of performing steps 1 and 2, the ignition is turned ON with the RES, start button or key.
- When using the RES feature, at least 10 seconds, or more, must elapse between ignition cycles.
- If DTC P161F is stored, erase the DTC and Do Not replace the ECM.
NOTE: If a customer states the RES stopped responding on a third consecutive activation attempt, please inform them the vehicle allows the RES to be performed only twice consecutively, and must be driven in excess of 5 mph before a third attempt can be performed.
