troubleshooting
Starter kill does not work:
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely dis-
connected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted.
Is the yellow wire connected to “true” ignition? Make sure this wire is connected to a wire that has power
in the run and start positions.
The Valet
®
switch does not work.
Is it plugged into the correct socket? See Plug-In LED and Valet
®
/Program Switch section. Is the H1/9 YELLOW
wire properly connected? See Primary Harness (H1) Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.
Status LED does not work.
Is the LED plugged into the small white port on the side of the control unit? See Plug-In LED and
Valet
®
/Program Switch section.
Door locks operate backwards.
This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck Harness 2, (+/-) Door Lock Outputs section to see
if you have reversed these.
The horn honks when the unit enters panic mode, but the confirmation honks do not work when locking
and unlocking.
Are the confirmation honks turned on in programming? See Operating Settings Learn Routine and Feature
Descriptions sections.
I can get into programming and change the feature settings, but when I use the remote the settings seem
to change.
Are you using a binary, master dealer remote? Remember, you can program the settings using a master dealer
remote. However, the unit will follow the dealer default settings when using a binary remote to operate the
system.
