bojanglespa Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Just noticed that in most instances when I use my remote start on my Journey that the Climate controls have shut off and reset itself to A/C at coldest temp with fan off out the vent. When shutting off the vehicle it was set at both sides 28 Celcius on defrost/floor combo with fan on high. As soon as I shut off the vehicle the normal way my touch screen displays "Climate Off" then when I restart the vehicle, it is infact totally off and nothing blowing. So much for starting up to warm the vehicle inside. Also once the radio had swithched from Satellite when I shut it off to AM Radio when started. Anyone have similar occurences?

Rubberdude88 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 When we remote start, the HVAC controls resume the settings we left the vehicle in but it turns on the rear window defogger. Not sure what it will do in the summer??? We'll have to wait and see. As for your problem, it may require an ECU reset??? - not sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm sure others will have ideas. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I though there was a TSB that covered this. DodgeCares, you out there???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucebotti Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Mine puts the heat on high, and the front and rear defrost on also. When I get in and hit "run", it reverts back to the previous setting (although it keeps the rear defrost on). I read that in the summer it puts it on max-ac initially when you use the remote start.

onecrazyfoo4u Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Have you gone under settings and activated the auto climate control feature? I think that has to be turned on for it to remote start with heat/defrost defaulted to on. Mine works just fine, heat/defrost in the winter and max A/C in the summer. Love the remote start settings!

bojanglespa Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 It used to work fine and would activate the heat or A/C (whatever I had it set for) . The auto comfort is set to on but as far as I know that only turns on he heated seat if the temp is cold enough. Just dropped it off at the dealer this morning and they had not heard of this issue, I hope it is just a reflash issue.....Will know in a few hours.

bojanglespa Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 They reflashed something and it had been working fine since then..........Sorry for the delayed response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
