Remote start
Replaced the battery in my ‘15 c7. First rejected Illinois emissions test. So have to wait 6-7 days for retest.
Second, remote start doesn’t function.
Any suggestions?

Press "Lock", then start it? It won't do it two times in a row without the car actually being started.

Yeah, you need enough ignition cycles for the emissions sensors to show "ready" when scanned. The indication clears with power interruption. Just drive the car for a week or two if you don't have a code scanner.
Press Lock and hold remote start on the fob for 4 sec per the manual.
