Starter kill doesn't work.
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely discon-
nected, 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™ from memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed descrip-
tion of NPC™, see Owner's Guide.
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® switch 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?
