Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuit-
ry will prevent the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned
to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if
the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
NOTE: The starter anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start
system is operating the motor and the optional Failsafe
has been installed.

Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-
itoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is
designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents
them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also
record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.

Arming Diagnostics

If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is
active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear
one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indi-
cate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that
the security system ignores the input that was active when the
system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after
