There are 5 reasons why the remote start

1. The Black/White Neutral Safety wire is not grounded. Must be grounded to start.

2. Hood Pin switch White/Black wire has a ground present. Must not show ground to start.

3. Brake pedal switch White/Violet has 12 volt present. Must not show 12 volt to start.

4. The system is in Valet mode.

5. The remote start feature programming has not been programmed to start the vehicle. The remote start must be

programmed how to start the vehicle.

Caution!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of the Remote Start Device. It is the

responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner may result

in personal injury, property damage, or both.

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in park (P), start the vehicle using the remote transmitter, Once the

engine is running, press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the vehicle continues to run,

check the brake circuit WHITE/ VIOLET wire (H3/3) connection.

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter, Once the engine is running, pull the

hood release and raise the hood. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the vehicle continues to run, check the

hood pin WHITE/ BLACK wire (H3/4) connection.

3. NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:

1. Set the vehicle parking brake.

2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.

3. Sitting in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to "ON" or "RUN" position. But do not start the engine.

4. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into "DRIVE" (D).

5. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut down the

Remote Start Device.

6. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter.

If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.

If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system, recheck your VIOLET wire

(H1/1 starter output wire) connection. The heavy gauge VIOLET wire must be connected to the ignition switch side

of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it

will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information

concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are

working on has this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.

MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:

Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety when

installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in any position other

than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start position or be removed from the

ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration

for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety

wire from the remote start device to the vehicle PARK/NEUTRAL ECM input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection

will prevent remote start operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selector position.

PARK/NEUTRAL ECM INPUT:

The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of the factory

circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.

The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates in the slight reconfiguration of the control switch
