FAILED REMOTE-START

There are several different installation factors and devices that must work together in order for your vehicle to
Remote-Start properly. In some cases a failed Remote Start is not the fault of the Remote-Starter itself. Here
are some things to consider when the Remote-Starter fails.
•
Unmaintained Engine. If you have problems starting the vehicle with the key then the Remote-Starter
will have the same diffi culty.
•
Low Battery. A battery's voltage can drop to less than 4 volts DC (1/3 of the original) during cold weather
starting. Ensure your battery is working properly and is able to provide the proper current needed to start
the vehicle in extreme temperatures.
•
Low Fuel, or water in the fuel tank. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent the build-up
of condensation in the tank..
•
A corroded or broken Hood Pin switch. Visually inspect the hood pin switch frequently. Cover with a
dialectic grease to prevent corrosion.
•
Trailer wiring. Corroded or improperly wired trailer wiring may cause the park light signal to bleed into
the brake signal. This will cause the Remote-Starter to shut down as soon as the park lights are turned
on.
•
Problems with the Bypass Kit (if installed). If you are able to put the Remote-Starter into Ready Mode,
Idle Mode, or Turbo Mode, but you are unable to Remote-Start the vehicle then the Bypass Kit may
be failing. Several Remote-Start attempts with a failed Bypass Kit may lock your vehicle for several
hours.
•
Dash warning lights. The dash should display in exactly the same way when either starting the vehicle
with the key, or with the Remote-Starter. If the dash displays any warning lights (Check Engine, ABS,
or Theft) once Remote-Started then something is wrong. Stop using the Remote-Starter and have it
looked at immediately.
TIP: If your vehicle is experiencing any problems either starting or running with the key have it looked at by the
Remote-Starter's installer fi rst. Having the vehicle worked on by another service centre may void any warranty
and/or guarantees on the Remote-Starter and its Installation. Additionally the original installation centre may
refuse all fees incurred by the latter service centre (if any).
