The remote start will activate, but the starter never engages.•
Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds after the remote 1.
start becomes active. If there is voltage present, skip to Step 4. If there is
not voltage present, advance to Step 2.
Check the 30A fuses.2.
If the gray/black wait-to-start wire is detecting ground upon activation, the 3.
starter will not crank.
Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the 4.
optional starter kill/anti-grind relay.
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not 5.
allow the vehicle to crank if active.
Check connections. The heavy gauge remote start input wires on the 6.
heavy gauge 10-pin connector should have a solid connection. “T-taps”
or “scotch locks” are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge
wiring.
The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.•
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer will cut 1.
the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting attempts.
Is the remote start programmed for Intelli-Tach voltage sense? If so, the 2.
crank time may not be set high enough. Voltage sense will not work on
some vehicles.
Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during 3.
cranking or just after cranking.
The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.•
Is the system programmed for engine checking off or Intelli-Tach voltage 1.
sense? When programmed for either of these features, the engine cranks
for the pre programmed crank time regardless of how long it takes for the
vehicle to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time.
Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to 2.
indicate a successful learn.
Make sure that there is a tach signal at the purple/white tach input wire 3.
of the remote start. If there is not a tach signal, 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.
