5.
Press button #2 (Unlock) to reset the options. (Lights should flash twice)
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (un-ground Blue wire). All features should be set at *DEFAULT values.
REMOTE START TROUBLESHOOTING
UNIT CHIRPS 3X, FLASHES LIGHTS ONCE, BUT WILL NOT ATTEMPT A REMOTE START:
1. The system may sense a fault if the vehicle hood is up or open (Blue wire grounded). [Assuming you are using a
grounding hoop pin or switch that is connected to the Blue wire of the system. This is a safety feature of the unit. Make
sure hood is closed or that the Blue hood pin wire is not shorted to Ground.
2. The system may sense a fault at the Brake (White wire is active), check installation for faults.
SYSTEM IS UNSUCCESSFUL AT REMOTE START DURING EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS:
Please be aware that during sub-freezing conditions your remote starter may take more that one attempt to start, or it may
not successfully start the vehicle after 3 attempts. During these conditions the vehicle may not properly start even using the
key, therefore trying to start by the remote would also be unsuccessful.
UNIT FLASHES THE LIGHTS ONCE AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT A REMOTE START:
The system is in Valet mode. Check the systems LED light and if it is on solid Red LED (with doors closed) then the
system is in VALET mode. To exit VALET, turn the Ignition on, press and hold valet/programming button for about 5
seconds until LED goes out. Unit is now out of valet mode and should perform a remote start.
ENGINE CRANKS VEHICLE BUT VEHICLE NEVER STARTS:
1. In some vehicles, there may be a Factory anti-theft system that will not allow the engine to run without the key in the
ignition. These systems may include Factory Security Modules, GM Passkey®/Passlock®, and RF Transponder systems
(Ford P.A.T.S.®). Many late 1990’s, 2000 and Later vehicles may include some type of Anti-Theft system. Check vehicle
owner’s manual to see if the vehicle equipped with a security system.
2. The vehicle may have more than one Ignition/or Accessory circuit that requires power for the vehicle to start. This is
common on some Toyota vehicles where (2) Ignition “ON through cranking” wires are required.
VEHICLE STARTS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR ENGINE RUNS BADLY:
1. Many 1995-UP GM cars/trucks require a secondary ignition circuit for the Transmission computer. If the vehicle is started
without this wire energized, the vehicle will display a “Check Engine” or “Service Engine” light on the dash. This may
cause transmission damage if the vehicle is driven. Be sure to check for any additional WHITE (or GREEN) Ignition wires
on GM cars and trucks that power up when started with the key.
2. Some Vehicles [Commonly Nissan] require 2 Start (Cranking) circuits for the vehicle to run properly. If this is the case,
then an additional relay must be installed with the output connected to the extra starter wire in the vehicle.
NO RESPONSE TO/FROM REMOTE:
1. Check for proper power/ground wiring connections.
2. Check Antenna Module connection. The antenna included with this system must be plugged in to send/receive signals.
Antenna Module gets voltage from the control module. See antenna diagrams on Page 27.
3. The Remotes may need to be reprogrammed to operate the system. See Transmitter programming.
