[Dystructive]

2017 Altitude, push button start, no passive entry option, just power locks. The remote start uses my existing fob (lock button 3 times).

Just had the Service Passive Entry message pop up after remote starting my Renegade, and it won't go away. After some searching here and Google, I tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes, I replaced the battery on both key fobs (securely snapping metal keys back in after), and I tried to just push the start button on the steering column without starting it like a poster suggested. All to no avail. There is no option to disable the passive entry in my Uconnect settings. The code does not show up in my code reader, so I can't reset it that way.

Does anyone have any other successful suggestions that have worked? Thanks in advance.

I'd take it back to whoever installed the remote start since that seems to be the source of the problem.

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade with 21K miles (yes, I have low mileage). The Service Passive Entry System message popped up on my dashboard, the dealer ask that I bring it in for diagnostic $189.00, so I looked it up on line and found this forum. I read through all the troubleshooting, the best that worked for me was remove the negative battery for a few minutes (these cars are computerized) to reboot the system and it work. It won't be the key fob battery because I've experience that a few years back, which has a notification indicator of its own. another option was to start the car, without having it run... but that option didn't work for me.
