■
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,

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 Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See
Table of Zones
section of this

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

The Valet®/Program switch doesn't work.
Is it plugged into the correct socket? (See
Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch
section of this guide.)

Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch
section of this guide.)
