    if there is a pending cel or a cel currently it will not start. also the key fobs are prone to breaking. take the fob apart and put a small wad of aluminum foil on the contact pad. put it together and try again.

    cel is check engine light. i missed the lights flashing part. yes the fob is working. if you do not have a check engine light then i dont know what else it could be.

    question is the key fob look like a factory one or aftermarket? if it's aftermarket you need to check into it a little more.
