Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems
4.
will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.
Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the
5.
module should have solid connections. “T-taps”, or “scotch locks”
are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring.
Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then con-
nect one red wire to each.
The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.

Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer
1.
will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting at-
tempts.
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the start
2.
time may not be set high enough. Voltage sense will not work on
some vehicles.
Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active
3.
during cranking or just after cranking.
The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.
•
Is the system programmed for engine checking off or voltage
1.
sense? When programmed for either of these features, the engine
cranks for the pre programmed crank time regardless of how long
it actually takes to start the vehicle. Adjust to a lower cranking
time.
Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solidly and
2.
brightly to indicate a successful learn.
Make sure that there is a tach signal right at the purple/white tach
3.
input wire of the remote start. If not, recheck the connection to the
vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or shorted
to ground leading to the remote start.
