3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:

IMPORTANT!

Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle before

attempting this test.

a. Make sure the hood is closed and no other shutdown circuits are active.

b. Set the emergency brake.

c. Turn the ignition key to the run position but do not start the engine.

d. Put the vehicle in Drive (D).

e. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut-

down the remote start system.

Activate the remote start system.

■

If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down the system. If it does engage,

recheck the neutral safety input connection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch.

(See H3/6 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in

Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide

section of this guide.)

■

If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.

Once the system passes the three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use the remote

start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety check tests.

troubleshooting

■

Starter kill doesn't work:

Is the correct wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the

wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted.

Is the yellow wire of the starter kill relay going to primary ignition? This wire must be powered in the run and

start positions.

■

Shock sensor doesn't trigger the alarm:

Has the NPC™ system been triggered? If so, you will hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the igni-

tion key on and off to clear the NPC™'s memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of

NPC™, see

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry

section of this guide.

■

Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the first 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 closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.
