The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe
Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has
been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been
turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED
will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible
to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,
the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the Failsafe
Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care
must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
N N O O T T E E : : For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe
must be installed.

Pressing
for one second disarms the system and unlocks the
doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and
the parking lights will flash twice to confirm disarming of the sys-
tem. The optional Failsafe
tus LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for Passive
Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly when the
system is disarmed. This indicates that the system will re-engage
the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking has been
programmed) in 30 seconds unless the ignition is turned on.

Questions and answers
Door lock and unlock doesn’t work
The door lock and unlock may not be working on the Automate AM6 for several reasons:
1. Not Connected – The system requires proper connection to the vehicle's power door locks. If the wiring is incorrect or disconnected, the locks will not function.
2. Extra Parts Required – Some door lock systems need additional parts for compatibility. Check if your vehicle requires extra components.
3. Programming Issue – The system can be programmed to lock and unlock automatically. If it is not set up correctly, the feature may not work.
4. Failsafe® Starter Kill Activation – If this feature is engaged, it may prevent the system from operating normally. Disarm the system to check.
5. Faulty Module or Switch – If the factory door switch or module has failed, the automate system may have been installed as a workaround. If this module is also faulty, door locks may not work.
Check wiring, programming, and system components to diagnose the issue.
