Why Won't My Niro EV Start After Remote AC?

[Raspo93]

Man, my Niro EV is being a pain! Every time I use remote climate control, the car just won’t start right - yellow key icon pops up on the dashboard, and I can’t shift gears. It’s driving me nuts! If I turn off climate control on my phone, it magically works fine. Anyone else run into this mess? Got any fixes?

This is a common issue. Mine starts in auxiliary mode when I turn on the climate control, similar to an ICE running on battery power. When you get in, it might still be in this mode, needing a full shutdown and restart to drive.
