If your Subaru Forester's remote start isn't functioning, it likely indicates an issue with the remote fob. A frequent cause of trouble with the remote start system is a depleted battery in the fob. To resolve this, you can open up the fob at its center and swap out the old battery for a new one. If replacing the battery doesn't solve the problem, you may need to reset the fob. To reset it, you'll need an OBD II scan tool to re-sync the remote with your vehicle, which should typically restore functionality.
