How do I see if there is a “valet” push button to prevent starting, in addition to the 4 button key fob? (Car not starting) It does click and beep when using the key fob, and the doors will electrically lock or un-lock with fob. Is there a fob push button methodology that resets if the hidden push button had been operated? The second hand owners do not know of a hidden switch, they only have the ignition/door key and one fob.

Hello,

Can I ask if the engine is turning over and not starting or the starter is not working? Also is the security light flashing? There is no hidden switch. Here are the security system wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Here is a guide for the starter not working:
