Remote Start Troubleshooting - CrimeStopper RS-800 Installation Instructions Manual

UNIT FLASHES LIGHTS ONCE AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT A START:
The unit is in Valet mode. Turn IGN ON, press and hold valet/programming button for about 4 seconds until LED goes out. The
unit is now out of valet mode and should perform a remote start.
UNIT FLASHES LIGHTS TWICE AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT A START:
The unit reads a fault at the Brake (Purple wire is active) or the Hood is OPEN (Gray wire grounded). This is a safety feature of
the unit. Check installation for faults and make sure hood is closed and latched.
"SMART" TACHLESS MODE:
UNIT LIGHTS UP, PAUSES, AND ONLY SLIGHTLY ENGAGES STARTER (NOT ENOUGH TO START VEHICLE)
The unit does not have the correct voltage reference for the vehicle. Unplug main Wire Harness (heavier gauge wires) on the
remote start module, turn the key ON, the lights ON and the fan blower on HIGH for 2-3 minutes. Reconnect remote start module.
UNIT CRANKS VEHICLE BUT ENGINE 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 90's and 2000-UP vehicles include some type of Anti-Theft systems, even on base or low-level models.
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 GM/Toyota vehicles.
VEHICLE STARTS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR ENGINE RUNS BADLY: (2 parts)
1. Many 90's GM Cars/Trucks require a secondary ignition circuit for the Transmission computer. If the vehicle is starter without
this wire energized the vehicle will display a "Check Engine" or "Service Engine" indicator on the dash. Caution: This may
cause transmission damage if the vehicle is driven! Be sure to check for and additional WHITE (or sometimes GREEN)
Ignition wire on GM cars and trucks.
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 (triggered off of the BROWN start output wire). Connected to the Extra start relay output to
the extra start wire in the vehicle.
NO RESPONSE FROM EITHER TRANSMITTER: (RS800ER Only, 4 Parts)
1. Check for proper power/ground wiring connections.
2. Check Antenna Module connection. The antenna module included with this system must be plugged in to allow the unit to
send/receive signals.
3. The Remote Transmitters may need to be reprogrammed to operate the system. See Transmitter programming.
4. Remote Transmitters may be damaged or need new batteries.
