Troubleshooting

Starter kill does not work:
• Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when
the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, 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 the integrated LED/Valet
Switch section
• Is the H1/9 YELLOW wire properly connected? See Primary Har-
ness (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 con-
trol unit? See integrated LED/Valet Switch section.
Door locks operate backwards.
• This unit has easily reversed lock/unlock outputs.
• Recheck Harness 3, (+/-) 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 Oper-
ating Settings Learn Routine and Feature Descriptions sections.
• Is the horn honk pulse duration long enough? Some cars require a
longer pulse on the horn wire for it to honk. (See feature program-
ming menu 1 step 7)
