Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the starter kill relay.
➤
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to
crank if active.
➤
Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the relay satellite should have solid
connections. "T-taps", or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge
wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to
each.
The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
➤
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicles immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark
during unauthorized starting attempts.
➤
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the start time may not be set high
enough, or you may have to adjust the voltage threshold in programming. Voltage sense will not
work on some vehicles.
➤
Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after
cranking.
The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.
➤
Is the system programmed for engine checking off or voltage sense? When programmed for
either of these features, the engine cranks for the preprogrammed crank time regardless of how
long it takes to start the vehicle to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time.
➤
Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solidly to indicate a successful learn.
➤
Make sure that there is a tach signal right at the purple/white tach input wire of the remote start.
If not, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or
shorted to ground leading to the remote start.
The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds.
➤
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? Try programming the unit for low voltage
reference. If this does not work, a tach wire should be used.
➤
Check diagnostics.
