TACH WATCH LOCKOUT 
 

Tach Watch lockout is a safety feature built into 
the remote starter to protect the vehicle’s starter 
motor. If, during remote start, the vehicle’s 
engine ever cranks the entire programmed crank 
time without detecting any Tach pulses during the 
first crank cycle, the unit will go into Tach watch 
lockout. The diagnostics for this is 3 quick 
Parking lights flashes when trying to remote start 
the vehicle. 
If your module is in Tach Watch Lockout it is 
indicating that a problem exists with the Tach 
signal it is receiving. Verify that the Tach wire 
from the remote starter is properly connected to a 
good Tach signal in the vehicle. 
 
To remove the unit from Tach Watch Lockout 
you must do the following: 
 
1.  Close the Hood. 
2.  Disable starter kill. (If installed) 
3.  Start the engine using the key. 
4.  Let it run for at least 25 seconds, then shut it 

OFF. 

5.  The module should now be out of Tach 

Watch Lockout. 

 
If module is still in Tach Watch Lockout move 
Tach wire to a better Tach source and perform an 
Automatic Tach Setting.  Then repeat steps 1 to 5.
