Shock sensor doesn't trigger the alarm:
Has the false alarm prevention circuitry system been triggered? If so, you will hear 5 chirps when
disarming. To check this, turn the ignition key on and off to clear the false alarm prevention cir-
cuitry's memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of false alarm pre-
vention, see false alarm prevention circuitry section of this guide.
Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the first 3 seconds:
That's how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an
instant trigger, remember, since even if the door is instantly closed again, the progression from
chirps to constant siren will continue.
Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:
Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong
door input has been used. (See Door pin switch section 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 Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Diagnostics sec-
tion of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatch-
ing before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.
The override switch doesn't work.
Is it plugged into the correct socket? See Plug-In LED and override Switch section of this guide.
Status LED doesn't work.
Is it plugged in? (See Plug-In LED and override Switch section of this guide.) Is the LED plugged
into the correct socket?
Door locks operate backwards.
This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck wire connections to see if you have
reversed these.
