troubleshooting

■

Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, first I hear chirps for 3 seconds:

That's how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger,

remember, since even if the door is instantly re-closed, the progression from chirps to constant siren will con-

tinue.

■

Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:

Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This often happens when the wrong door input has

been used. (See

H1/5 GREEN Door Trigger Input, Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide

section of this guide.)

■

System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:

Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either

the H1/5 green or the H1/7 violet should be used instead. (See

Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide

section

of this guide.)

■

Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:

Does the LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the impact sensor? (See

Table of Zones

section of this

guide.) The impact sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door

switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.

■

The Valet®/Program switch does not work:

Is it plugged into the correct socket? (See

Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch

section of this guide.)

■

The LED system status indicator does not work:

You've probably guessed already, but here goes: is it plugged in? Is the LED plugged into the correct socket? (See

Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch

section of this guide.)

■

Starter interrupt does not work:

Is the correct wire being interrupted? If the vehicle starts when the starter interrupt is completely disconnected,

the wrong wire has been cut.

Is the yellow H1/9 ignition wire connected to true ignition? This wire must be powered in the run and start posi-

tions in order to work properly.
