Hi,
I've been having possibly the same issue for over a year.
If I plug my truck in for more than an hour, then try to remote start, it runs OK for a few seconds, then sputters until it eventually stalls. This triggers an error that turns on the Check Engine light. once this is on, your remote start won't work until it is cleared, either by a code reader or disconnecting your battery.
Maybe your light came on for a different reason. I believe mine is happening due to the coolant heater being too close to a sensor in the rad or something like that. Your light may have just come on because you stopped and started too quickly? Or was your truck plugged in? If the starter is bad this guide can help find it
