Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the
wrong door input has been used. (See Door Lock Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this
guide.)
System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed.
➤ ➤
Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the
vehicle? Either the H1/5 green or the H1/7 violet should be used instead. (See wiring diagrams.)
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm.
➤ ➤
Does the LED status indicator indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Di-
agnostics section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting

Remote Start Troubleshooting

The remote engine starter will not activate.
1. Check the harnesses and their connections. Make sure that the harnesses are completely plugged
into the remote engine starting module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring.
2. Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter to check for voltage between the red wire in the 5-pin
ribbon harness and the black ground wire. If you have less than battery voltage, check the 3A
and both 30A fuses on the relay satellite. Also make sure that the ground wire connects to a good
chassis ground point.
3. Check diagnostics. The diagnostics will tell you which shutdown is active or not connected.
