UNIT FLASHES THE LIGHTS ONCE AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT A REMOTE START: (3 parts)
1. The system may be in Valet mode. Check the systems LED light and if it is on solid Red LED (with doors closed) then the
system is in VALET mode.
seconds until LED goes out. Unit is now out of valet mode and should perform a remote start.
2. The system may sense a fault at the Brake (White wire is active) check installation for faults and verify the +12V Brake
input is not active unless the brake is pressed.
3. The system may sense a fault if the vehicle hood is up or open (Blue wire grounded). [Assuming you are using a
grounding hoop pin or switch that is connect to the Blue wire of the system. This is a safety feature of the unit. Make sure
hood is closed or there is no short on the Blue hood pin wire.
ENGINE CRANKS VEHICLE BUT VEHICLE NEVER STARTS: (2 parts)
1. In some vehicles, there may be a Factory anti-theft system that will not allow the engine to run without the key in the
ignition. These systems may include Factory Security Modules, GM Passkey®/Passlock®, and RF Transponder systems
(Ford P.A.T.S.®). Many late 1990's, 2 000 and Later vehicles may include some type of Anti-Theft system. Check vehicle
owner's manual to see if the vehicle equipped with a security system.
2. The vehicle may have more than one Ignition/or Accessory circuit that requires power for the vehicle to start. This is
common on some Toyota vehicles where (2) Ignition "ON through cranking" wires are required.
VEHICLE STARTS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR ENGINE RUNS BADLY: (2 parts)
1. Some 1990's and Later GM cars/trucks require a secondary ignition circuit for the Transmission computer. If the vehicle
is started without this wire energized, the vehicle will display a "Check Engine" or "Service Engine" light on the dash. This
may cause transmission damage if the vehicle is driven. Be sure to check f o r any additional WHITE (or GREEN) Ignition
wires on GM cars and trucks that power up when started with the key.
2. Some Vehicles [Commonly Nissan] require 2 Start (Cranking) circuits for the vehicle to run properly. If this is the case,
then an additional relay must be installed with the output connected to the extra starter wire in the vehicle.
NO RESPONSE TO REMOTE: (4 Parts)
1. Check for proper power/ground wiring connections.
2. Check Antenna Module connection.
Antenna Module gets voltage from the control module.
3. The Remotes may need to be reprogrammed to operate the system. See Transmitter programming.
