This DEI
®
system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the
system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet
®
mode and the battery is dis-
connected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet
®
mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet
®
mode.
troubleshooting
Starter kill doesn’t work:
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely discon-
nected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. Yellow (H1/9) wire is not connected to true ignition.
It is connected to an accessory circuit.
Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:
Has Nuisance Prevention
®
Circuitry been triggered? If so, you will hear five chirps when disarming. To check this,
turn the ignition key on and off to clear NPC
from memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed
description of this feature, see the Owner’s Guide.
Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, first I hear chirps for three seconds:
That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger,
remember, since even if the door is instantly closed, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.
Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:
Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has
been used. (See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide.)
System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:
Are the door inputs connected? Is a blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the green
H1/5 or the violet H1/7 should be used instead.
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:
What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the trigger, the sensor may
be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating the sensor can often solve this problem.
(See Table of Zones section of this guide.)
