FAILED REMOTE-START
There are several different installation factors and devices that must work together in order for your
vehicle to Remote-Start properly. In some cases a failed Remote Start is not the fault of the Remote-
Starter itself. Here are some things to consider when the Remote-Starter fails.
• Unmaintained Engine. If you have problems starting the vehicle with the key then the Remote-
Starter will have the same dif culty.
• Low Battery. A battery’s voltage can drop to less than 4 volts DC (1/3 of the original) during cold
weather starting. Ensure your battery is working properly and is able to provide the proper current
needed to start the vehicle in extreme temperatures.
• Low Fuel, or water in the fuel tank. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent the
build-up of condensation in the tank..
• A corroded or broken Hood Pin switch. Visually inspect the hood pin switch frequently. Cover with
a dialectic grease to prevent corrosion.
• Trailer wiring. Corroded or improperly wired trailer wiring may cause the park light signal to bleed
into the brake signal. This will cause the Remote-Starter to shut down as soon as the park lights
are turned on.
• Problems with the Bypass Kit (if installed). If you are able to put the Remote-Starter into Ready
Mode, Idle Mode, or Turbo Mode, but you are unable to Remote-Start the vehicle then the Bypass
Kit may be failing. Several Remote-Start attempts with a failed Bypass Kit may lock your vehicle
for several hours.
• Dash warning lights. The dash should display in exactly the same way when either starting the
vehicle with the key, or with the Remote-Starter. If the dash displays any warning lights (Check
Engine, ABS, or Theft) once Remote-Started then something is wrong. Stop using the Remote-
Starter and have it looked at immediately.
TIP: If your vehicle is experiencing any problems either starting or running with the key have it looked
at by the Remote-Starter’s installer rst. Having the vehicle worked on by another service centre may
void any warranty and/or guarantees on the Remote-Starter and its Installation. Additionally the original
installation centre may refuse all fees incurred by the latter service centre (if any).
