The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
➤
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark
during unauthorized starting attempts.
➤
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the start time may not be set high
enough, or you may have to adjust the voltage threshold in programming. Voltage sense will not
work on some vehicles.
➤
Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after
cranking.
The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.
➤
Is the system programmed for engine checking off or voltage sense? When programmed for
either of these features, the engine cranks for the preprogrammed crank time regardless of how
long it takes for the vehicle to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time.
➤
Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to indicate a successful
learn.
➤
Make sure that there is a tach signal at the purple/white tach input wire of the remote start. If
there is not a tach signal, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the
wire is not broken or shorted to ground leading to the remote start.
The vehicle will start, but will only run for 10 seconds.
➤
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? Try programming the unit for low voltage
reference. If this does not work, a tach wire should be used.
➤
Check diagnostics.
The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle.
➤
Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one ignition or accessory wire
must be energized in order to operate the climate control system.
