TROUBLESHOOTING cont.
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 2006 vehicles include some type of Anti-Theft system which
may require a bypass module. Check with your installer to make sure that the bypass device (if equipped) is
functioning properly.
SYSTEM IS UNSUCCESSFUL AT REMOTE START DURING EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS:
Please be aware that during sub-freezing conditions your remote starter may take more that one attempt to start or it
may not successfully start the vehicle after 3 attempts. During these conditions the vehicle may not properly start
even using the key; therefore trying to start by the remote would also be unsuccessful.
VEHICLE STARTS BUT “CHECK ENGINE” LIGHT COMES ON OR ENGINE RUNS BADLY: (2 parts)
1. 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 Soon” light on the dash. This may cause damage if the vehicle is driven in this condition.
Check with installer to see if this circuit is present and has been properly connected to the system.
2. In some cases [commonly Nissan vehicles], an additional “Start” (Cranking) circuit is required for the vehicle to
run properly. The CoolStart system includes a wire that can be used for this Starter #2 circuit. Check with your
installer for details.
REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS
If the system flashes the parking lights one to three times and doesn’t attempt remote, it means the following:
1 Parking Light Flash = Problem with Brake Switch.
2 Parking Light Flashes = Problem with Hood Switch.
3 Parking Light Flashes = Valet Service Mode.
