-Check engine light went on
-Remote starter won't start
but I can still use the remote door lock and start the car with my key

Have battery load tested and check the DTC at Autozone. If battery checks OK, reset the ECU and see if code returns.

good luck

God knows! Did you "reboost" without disconnecting at least one battery terminal?
