Code P1626 is the theft deterrent fuel enable signal not received. When you try to crank the engine over is the security light flashing? If so use the remote to lock and unlock the car this should reset the system, if not you can try a hard reboot which is done by removing the negative side of the battery, with the cable loose from the negative side of the battery, hold it to the positive terminal for 1 minute this will discharge the memory capacitors in the BCM and PCM allowing the system to reboot.

Also, this guide can help:
