TROUBLESHOOTING: “BEFORE YOU CALL” SECTION

UNIT FLASHES LIGHTS ONCE AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT A START:

The unit senses a fault at the Brake (Purple wire is active) or the Hood is OPEN (Gray wire grounded). This is a safety
feature of the unit. Check installation for faults and make sure hood is closed and latched and brake wire is not active.

UNIT CRANKS VEHICLE BUT ENGINE NEVER STARTS:

• In some vehicles, there may be a Factory anti-theft system that will not allow the engine to run without the key in the

ignition. These systems may include Factory Security Modules, GM Passkey®/Passlock®, and RF Transponder
systems (Ford P.A.T.S.®). Many late 1990’s through 2005 vehicles include some type of Anti-Theft system which may
require a bypass module.

• The vehicle may have more than one Ignition or Accessory circuit that requires power for the vehicle to start. This is

common on some GM/Toyota vehicles.

VEHICLE STARTS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR ENGINE RUNS BADLY:

• Many 1995-UP General Motors cars/trucks require a secondary ignition circuit for the Transmission computer and other

on board systems. If the vehicle is started without this wire energized, there may be a “Check Engine” or “Service
Engine” light in the dash. This may cause damage if the vehicle is driven in this condition. Be sure to check for an
additional WHITE (or sometimes GREEN) Ignition wire on GM cars and trucks. Connect the Pink/White IGN#2 wire to
this circuit in the vehicle.

• Some Vehicles (Commonly Nissan) require 2 Start (Cranking) circuits for the vehicle to run properly. If this is the case,

then use the PINK/WHITE output of this system to power the Starter #2 circuit of the vehicle. See Jumper pin diagram
for configuration. Note that the secondary starter wire may be a smaller gauge wire than the primary starter wire.

NO RESPONSE FROM REMOTE TRANSMITTER:

• Check antenna connection: Antenna must be plugged in (3 pin black plug on side of module).

• Press remote control Lock or Unlock button several times in succession to check if remote is out of sync with receiver.
