Inhibit Remote Start

I just had my FordPass app open and it made me think of a question I’d had a few months back.

What, if anything, do service techs do to prevent remote starting? I’d hate to think they could be working under the hood when a customer hits the remote start on the app or a scheduled start event happens. Or a start when the crankcase is drained for whatever reason. I know the truck will start with the door open, haven’t checked to see if it will with the hood ajar.

The hood switch prevents this.

What if you're working on it and want it to start?

It will start with the key or start button with the hood open. It just won't start remotely with the hood open.

Correct. Also, if you remote start the truck, then pop the hood before inserting the key…the engine will shut down.
