What to Do When the Car's Computer Program Malfunctions and the Engine Won't Start?

[Carter]

Car computer program malfunction causing the engine to fail to start is usually due to a dead battery or the gear not being in the P position when starting. Dead Battery: A dead battery is one of the most common reasons. Apart from the battery's own quality and lifespan issues, a dead battery is generally caused by improper usage by the owner. A dead battery can prevent the car from starting, usually manifesting as the starter not working or the rotation speed being noticeably insufficient when attempting to start the engine. Gear Not in P Position When Starting: Because automatic transmissions don't require frequent gear shifting, drivers may forget to put the gear in P or leave it in N when parking. When attempting to start the car again without noticing, the engine won't start as a result.
