What are the reasons for a push-to-start car not starting when cold?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a car with push-to-start may fail to start when cold: 1. The smart key battery is dead, making it difficult for the vehicle's sensor to detect it. When the smart key battery is depleted, its transmission power becomes very low, preventing the car's sensor from detecting it and thus disabling the push-to-start ignition. 2. The gear is not in P (Park) position. 3. The steering wheel is locked. After turning off the engine, if the steering wheel is turned a certain angle from its centered position, it will lock with a 'click' sound. In this locked state, the push-to-start function will not work. 4. Insufficient voltage, dead battery, or battery damage. Failure to start may be due to a drained battery caused by leaving headlights on for an extended period or an expired battery lifespan. 5. The car is out of fuel. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, the car won't start. 6. Engine starting system malfunction or other related issues.
