TROUBLESHOOTING
CAN LEARNING SUCCESSFUL, BUT ALARM OPERATION IS ERRATIC.
•
An interm12v Power or (–) Ground connection is the most
common reason for unexplained alarm behavior. This should not be a
problem if you used the OBD connector and if it is securely connected,
but be sure to reconfirm your Power and Ground wiring if you manually
connected them.
•
If your power source is truly stable, then the best alternate explana-
tion for erratic behavior is “the wrong firmware.” There are different
firmware files even within the same car family. For example, there are
numerous different firmware files for Toyota cars alone. If you have the
wrong Toyota firmware and try to use it on a Toyota it wasn’t intended
for, the alarm may function correctly sometimes but not at other times.
The fix is easy. Just program the correct firmware. (USB Programming
Tool required. Visit your VISION dealer or speak to KIRAMEK.)
SHOCK SENSOR ONLY “FULL TRIGGERS.” THERE’S NO WARNING TRIGGER.
•
View the sensor’s LEDs when you hit the car’s body. If the Green LED
doesn’t light, slightly increase the sensitivity of the shock sensor.
•
If the Green LED lights, perhaps you’re testing too quickly. After Lock-
ing/Arming, you must wait 10s before you can test the shock sensor.
SHOCK SENSOR GIVES REPEATED WARNING TRIGGERS.
•
If the sensitivity of the sensor is too high and/or if the mounting location
is incorrect, the sensor may be triggering on the otherwise undetectable
sounds of the hazard light relay switching, or even the siren vibration.
Reduce sensitivity and/or change the mounting location of the sensor.
3rd PARTY ENGINE STARTER TRIGGERS SIREN.
•
From about 2014, many factory and aftermarket remote start systems
began using a “Door is Open” output wire to trick the car into thinking
a door has been opened after the remote starter shuts off. They use that
wire to turn OFF the Headlights on cars where the Headlight Switch is
set to AUTO. Our updated Firmware T35 (March 2017) prevents siren
triggering caused by that door-open signal in most cases. If for some
reason you still experience door-open siren triggering: (1) Do not use the
AUTO setting on your Headlight switch, and (2) Cut or Disconnect the
remote start system’s “Door Open” Wire. If that doesn’t work, you must
Disarm the 1480
before
the remote starter shuts off the engine. (Another
less desirable solution is to completely remove the remote starter.)
