Before vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The fol-

lowing test procedure must be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. The installation

must be completed before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), activate the remote start system. Once the

engine is running, press the brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues

to run, check the brake circuit connection.

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), open the hood. Activate the remote start

system. The vehicle should not start. If the starter engages, check your hood pin and connections.

OTTEE:: If programmed for Diesel Mode, the system will turn on the ignition, but the starter should

not engage with the hood open.

3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:

IIM

RTTA

NTT!! 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 H2/6 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 all 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.
