    I appreciate the help but my McLaren doesn't have that error message so unnecessary comments don't contribute anything.

    Any chance you looked at all the fuses in the cab and engine compartment? Even a rookie shotgunner like me, would look at the fuses on these trucks,the engine immobilizer ties into a lot of stuff. good luck hope you figure it out.

    Yeah, tried that too. It’s at the dealer now, hopefully I’ll hear something soon.

    Well, no luck from the dealer. They said they connected Techstream and it didn't even recognize the vehicle. Im going to go to the dealer and try to connect Techstream myself and remove my X-Start remote start to see if that is the problem. It really sucks that mechanics don't mechanic anymore; a little troubleshooting could go a long way.

    Well, I was able to connect Techstream and it indicated that the steering wheel lock wasn't unlocking. I disconnected the X-Start and the error immediately disappeared and the truck started. I almost forgot about the remote start as I never use it so, I just pulled the whole thing out and have no plans to replace it.

    Thank you all again for your suggestions!

    Glad you figured it out. Mods are the first thing to mention and ask about when troubleshooting. Not that they are always the issue, often are though. Stock configuration has a much larger knowledge base of support.

    N2 Designs makes a great one. I've not heard a single person have issues with it, including myself who has had it for 3 years.
