Troubleshooting

Starter kill doesn't work.
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is
completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted.
YELLOW wire is not connected to true ignition. It is connected to an accessory circuit.
Shock sensor doesn't trigger the alarm.
Has the NPC ® ® system been triggered? If so, you will hear five chirps when disarming. To check
this, turn the ignition key on and off to clear the NPC
shock sensor. For a detailed description of NPC
Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, I hear chirps for the first three seconds.
That's how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is the instant response feature of
this system. Even if the door is closed immediately, the system provides an instant trigger by
chirping, and the progressing to a constant siren.
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.
System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed.
Are the door inputs connected? Is a blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle?
Either the green H1/5 or the violet H1/7 should be used instead.
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm.
What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the
trigger, the sensor may be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating
the sensor can often solve this problem. If the LED indicates that the door caused the trigger,
you may have programmed the progressive door trigger off. (See Feature 2-4 in the Feature
Descriptions section of this guide.)
The Valet button doesn't work.
Is it plugged into the correct socket? Check the System Features Learn Routine for the
programmed Valet pulse count.
Status LED doesn't work.
Make sure that it is plugged in. (See Plug-In Harnesses section of this guide.) Is the LED
plugged into the correct socket?
