The 516L does not report arming and disarming messages:
■ Is the 516L ground-when-armed input wire connected to the security system’s ground-when-armed output?
The 516L does not report arming and disarming messages, but when the vehicle ignition key is turned off,
the 516L reports the disarming message:
■ If the security system has starter kill, the starter kill relay must be isolated with a 1-amp diode (1N4004).
(See H1/9 ORANGE armed input description in the Primary Harness (H1), 12-Pin Connector section of this guide.)
When interfaced with the 516L, the DEI security system will not perform Silent Mode:
■ Has Channel 2 of the security system been programmed?
■ The 516L’s optional H1/5 BROWN siren input wire and the H1/9 ORANGE ground-when-armed input must be
connected to the security system.
■ Make sure that Dipswitch #3 (Siren Monitoring) on the 516L is in the on position. (See Dipswitch/Feature
Settings section of this guide.)
When the vehicle is remote started the 516L does not announce, “Valet now starting, stand clear”:
■ The H1/10 YELLOW wire of the 516L should be connected to the true ignition wire of the vehicle and NOT to
an accessory wire.
■ The H1/10 YELLOW wire must read (+)12V ignition while the vehicle is remote started.
■ Make sure that the H2/1 ORANGE/BLACK and H2/2 BLUE/BLACK wires are properly connected to the remote
start system. (See the Remote Start Input Harness (H2), 2-Pin Connector section of this guide.)
The 516L does not report the status of the remote starter while the vehicle is remote started:
■ Make sure that the H2/1 ORANGE/BLACK and H2/2 BLUE/BLACK wires are properly connected to the remote
start system. (See the Remote Start Input Harness (H2), 2-Pin Connector section of this guide.)
