usually when installing a remote start system there is no need to program anything, instead you just put one of the already learned key in the bypass system your installing but am unfamiliar with the system your using, factory or aftermarket since you didn't specified. another issue here is when doing a parameter reset, usually, not always your prompted on which module was replaced when performing a parameter reset and depending on the module replaced then the secret key is sent to that module to synch. autel's tools has always had that issue on some vehicles where the parameter reset is not set up correctly, and you never get prompted to enter the replacement module option which are usually IPC,PCM,TCM,BCM,SJB and maybe others. if this is a factory remote start system, there should be no problems, but if you are installing an aftermarket one, I will tell you from experience they don't work well on some fords.
uninstall that remote start system, leave it as it came from factory then do a parameter reset again, make sure the security light goes out and the vehicle starts, if that happens then your scanner is fine, install you remote start which most likely will want to have a programmed key in it, make sure its installed correctly. if it don't start after everything is back to factory then you have your answer right there, bad tool's software.
