REMOTE START TROUBLESHOOTING
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 5 seconds unit LED goes
out. 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 sees a fault at the Brake (White wire is active) or the Hood is OPEN (Blue 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 remote start module, turn the key on (do
not start car), turn on lights and fan/heater blower for 3-4 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 1990’s and 2000 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. Some 1990’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” light on the dash.
This may cause transmission damage if the vehicle is driven. Be sure to check for any additional WHITE (or
GREEN) Ignition wires 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: (4 Parts)
1. Check for proper power/ground wiring connections.
2. Check Antenna Module connection. The antenna included with this system must be plugged in and receiving
voltage 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.
5. Remote Transmitter may be out of sync with Receiver. Press the lock button 2 or more times when near the vehicle.
