Make absolutely sure that your powering the white second ignition wire. And not only that make sure it acts exactly like the regular ignition wire while the vehicle is remote started. Which means the white wire must have power while the vehicle is cranking. Do not remote start the vehicle and drive it until you fix the problem or you will be buying a new tranny.

CHEVROLET, TAHOE, 2000, Second Ignition

To avoid the check engine light from coming on and possible damage to the automatic transmission, the second ignition in this vehicle MUST be powered when adding a remote start system.

Check your wiring again against this. Make sure your jumper on the remote starter unit is set on second ignition.
