Testing
Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates
properly. The following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and
operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the
unit is plugged in.
1.
Remote-start the Engine and listen for Starter drag.
If the Starter cranks for too long,
carry out another Tach learning procedure.
2.
Test Hood Switch shutdown
: with the vehicle running under the Remote Starter, open
the Hood; the vehicle should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the Hood Pin-
switch and its connector.
3.
Test the Brake shutdown circuit
: With the vehicle running under the Remote Starter,
press and release the Brake Pedal. The Engine should shut down immediately. If the
Engine continues to run, check the Brake Switch connection.
4.
OEM Alarm Control:
Make sure the Module is able to arm and disarm the OEM Alarm
(if applicable).
5.
Door Locks and Trunk Testing:
Make sure each of these options respond to the
Transmitter (if they were installed).
6.
Starter Kill option:
Sit inside the vehicle with all the Doors closed. Arm the vehicle and
then try to start the vehicle with the key –it should not start. If the vehicle starts, rewire
the starter kill so it functions properly.
7.
Valet Mode:
Make sure the Module is able to enter and exit Valet Mode properly.
When setting the Module into Valet mode pressing the
LOCK
button will lock the Doors
but will not activate the Starter Kill.
(Refer to User Guide for more information on Valet
Mode).
8.
Idle Mode:
Make sure the vehicle properly goes into Idle Mode.
Closing Up
Use tie-wraps or screws to properly secure the starter module and keep the wiring away from any
moving parts such as the parking brakes or steering column shafts. Mount all switches in good and
accessible locations where they do not risk getting kicked or hit accidentally.
Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take
the time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the
premises. Doing this will save time and money.
Always make all your connections before plugging in the module, and be sure to test all functions
properly before closing up the installation.
Show the customer where the valet switch has been installed and place the warning label in a
visible location under the hood.
