Troubleshooting
The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank.•
Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle have a VATS
Pass-Key system?
Will it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the
brake shutdown when performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/
starter interlock.
Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by energizing it yourself
with a fused test lead.
The starter cranks for six seconds but does not start• .
Either the wrong ignition wire is being energized, the system’s ignition and
accessory wires have been connected backwards, or the vehicle has two
ignition circuits. Try activating the unit with the ignition key in the “run” posi-
tion. If the vehicle then runs normally, retest your ignition system.
The starter continues to crank even though the engine has started.•
Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning section of
this guide.
Is the tach wire receiving the correct information? Either the wrong tach
wire has been used, or a bad connection exists.
The remote start will not activate•
Check the harnesses and their connections. Make sure that the harnesses 1.
are completely plugged into the remote start module. Make sure there are
good connections to the vehicle wiring.
Check voltage and fuses on the main 12-pin harness and on the heavy 2.
gauge remote start harness.
Check diagnostics. The diagnostics will tell you which shutdown is active 3.
or not connected.
