I-CAR · September 24, 2025 · Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, RAM
Summary
FCA/Stellantis vehicles utilize app-based connected services that can trigger owner notifications or remote starts during shop repairs. Because there is no specific OEM service mode to disable remote start, technicians must consult section 08-Electrical in the service information to manage these systems and ensure all settings are restored before delivery.
What to do on the job
Consult section 08-Electrical in the OEM service information to manage connected services, and ensure all modified settings are restored and calibrations are performed before vehicle delivery.
How to use it
When writing an estimate or supplement, use this information to justify labor time for researching connected vehicle systems under section 08-Electrical. This helps account for the necessary steps to safely manage remote-start capabilities and perform required post-repair initializations or calibrations before returning the vehicle to the customer.
