If your Firstech Remote Starter locks and unlocks the vehicle but doesn't remote start or flash the parking lights, the system might be in Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode, tap the Lock and Trunk buttons simultaneously for half a second. If this doesn't work, try reprogramming the remotes.
Why does my Firstech CM-900 Remote Starter start and then shut down 3 times?
If your vehicle starts and shuts down three times in a row with the Firstech Remote Starter, it typically indicates an issue with the engine sensing mode. If you are using a coil, try switching to an injector or alternator mode. If you're using tachless sensing mode and it's not starting, inspect the two power wires on the control module. If it still fails to remote start, you might try setting '4 assume start'. If none of these work, finding a tach or alternator sense wire is the only other option.
