DTC P1645 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control Circuit .
The PCM contains chips called Output Driver Modules that provide 7 switchable ground outputs for operating solenoids, relays, telltales, and other devices. Each of these ground outputs has fault lines that feed back to the PCM's microprocessor. When the output is OFF, the output driver should receive the 12 volts fed to the solenoid, relay, etc. When the output is ON, it should receive 0 volt since it is grounding the output. If it receives 0 volt when the output is OFF or 12 volts when the output is ON, it sets the fault line low. DTC P1645 is used to monitor the fault line of the EVAP Purge Valve.
The purge solenoid is open or there is an open on the B+ voltage supply to the solenoid or the PCM is bad . Now , all you have to is test the electrical circuit to find out which it is ! Or maybe it would be best for you to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop .

I had the same problem with my STS. Go back through your programing menu and "check" remote start again. Somehow, mine defaulted to not allowing remote start feature. It was good to go as soon as I re-programmed it.

How can I reset my '99 caddy sts's computer in order to pass my smog

You can use a code reader/coder clearer handheld device at any of the major auto dealers to clear the code. The device plugs into your dashboard on the left side of the steering wheel at the bottom.. Normally, you can clear the code and drive for about 15 minutes (maybe more if you are gentle on the gas) before the code appears again. These code readers cost about $80 to $100.
