Hi, Terry:
There is a good chance the FOB has a low battery.

Let's try the emergency start by taking the key and pressing the start button using the key itself and see if the engine starts.

If this works then we need to change the battery in the key. If you have a second key then that could work as well.

I attached the info below from the manual on this system. Take a look at that and let me know.
