Tachometer not connected or programmed.
Parking brake set status is not known. The parking brake must be set to enable MTS. Connect the parking
brake input wire to the vehicle parking brake wire or use the parking brake data message.
Foot must be off the brake when activating the MTS mode on the remote.
Is the door open when enabling the MTS mode? If so this would cause the unit to enter Pit Stop Mode and
the remote start will continue to run when arming/locking the system.
Is the door input connected? The system needs to see a door open then close after initiating the remote
start.
Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light? If you are connected to the dome light wire and the dome
light is staying on after arming/locking the system, the system can exit the MTS mode.
Make sure the neutral safety switch is plugged in and turned on, and that the neutral safety wire is
grounded.
The vehicle door has been opened or the security system has been triggered in your absence.
Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light circuit or does the dome light come on when the ignition is
shut off? If the door trigger input wires are connected, you may need to go to the independent door inputs
of the vehicle.
If the door trigger input wire is connected to the dome light wire in the vehicle and cannot connect the
system to the individual door inputs of the vehicle due to it having normally closed door inputs, you can
use Tech Tip # 1921 at www.directechs.com to interface with these types of circuits.
If the parking brake input wire connected to the vehicles parking brake wire loses ground when ignition
is turned off or after a certain amount of time, there is no analog work around. The data parking brake
messages must be used.
If the contacts of the vehicle's parking brake switch is not adequate when the brake is set, clean the con-
tacts or replace the switch.
