Getting Started

Your Responder HD remote is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that can only be serviced by an authorized Directed dealer. Due to transit and storage time prior to your purchase, the battery charge may have depleted. To ensure proper operation, check the battery level and connect the battery charger if not fully charged. See Battery Information and Status Screen Icons sections for more information about the battery.

Charging the remote control:

Plug the AC adapter into a 110V AC outlet. Insert the mini-USB 1. connector into the port on the remote control. The Status screen

Note

Info Center then indicates the remote control is charging. While the Status screen is off, the blue transmit LED will continue 2. blinking until fully charged (the remote control also remains functional to command the system or access the Status screen to check the battery level). Once fully charged the remote control is ready for use. Discon-3. nect the mini-USB end from the remote control ﬁrst and then the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

Starter Kill: The Failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from starting

Note

Sensor triggers: The onboard shock sensor can distinguish minor im-

pacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts causes the system to emit a Warn-away output by chirping the siren and ﬂashing the parking lights for 3 seconds. Major impacts caused for example by a forcible entry attempt, results in a Full Trigger output. The siren sounds and the lights ﬂash for 30 seconds or longer. Both Warnaway and Full Triggers send a message to the remote control.

Point of entry triggers: Opening the Hood or Trunk causes a Full Trigger output, while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes the the siren to chirp 3 seconds before beginning the Full Trigger output.

May require additional parts and installation

Feature Details

This 3 second delay allows time to disarm and silence the siren in case of accidental trigger. The Full Trigger message is still sent to the remote.

Sensor Silent Arm protection

Sensor warn-away and Sensor full trigger activations only send messages to the remote, while the vehicle’s light ﬂash and siren outputs are defeated. Point of entry triggers will activate the light ﬂash, siren, and send messages normally.

Page 40

Note

As a precaution, if programmed for Passive Arming or Auto re-arming the system should be placed into Valet Mode until a remote is available .

Trigger Zone Fault Report

When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of the alarm trigger zones. Faulty zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the control center LED and remote, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle. Should a faulty zone self correct (dome light turns off) it becomes active and is then monitored normally. The siren chirps once again a few seconds following the arming chirps as an audible alert, the control center LED ﬂashes in groups to indicate the zone number. The remote emits a fault tone, displays a screen for each faulty zone, and then updates the Sensor status icon in the Status screen. Press any button within 20 seconds of the fault tone to review the report without performing a command.

Alarm Trigger Report

The most recent alarm triggers (if any) are reported when the alarm is disarmed via the remote control, siren chirps, parking light and control center LED ﬂashes. The siren chirps 4 times (or 5 times if NPC On*), the lights ﬂash 3 times, and the control center LED ﬂashes in groups to indicate the last two zones that were triggered (see Table of Zones). The remote control Disarm output is replaced by screens

Last Trigger Report

The Last Trigger report displays the two most recent alarm triggers depending on the system state when requested. When disarmed, the report will display screens for the two most recent Alarm Zone triggers since the vehicle was last driven. When armed, the report will display screens for two most recent Alarm Zone triggers since the system was armed.

Note

The last trigger report clears when ignition is turned on.

Nuisance Prevention (NPC)

NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered excessively, bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active again only after being closed.

Sensors that trigger excessively are bypassed and reported to the remote via Sensor Status icon in the Status Screen, and by NPC On screens that are displayed during the Disarm Trigger and Last Trigger reports.

Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour and after the vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the alarm does not reset bypassed sensors.

Remote and System Operations

Passive Arming*

Park and exit the vehicle, after the doors are closed the Passive arming countdown begins. The led ﬂashes quickly and upon reaching 20 seconds the siren then chirps once. At 30 seconds the system arms itself.

Anytime before the system arms you can re-enter the vehicle or open the trunk to load or unload items and, after closing passive arming resumes.

To stay secure in case of accidental disarming the system, if a door is not opened within 30 seconds the system re-arms itself and locks the doors.

Auto Re-arming*

Auto re-arm ensures the vehicle stays protected if it is not entered after disarming by remote control. After disarming by remote, the alarm automatically re-arms itself (and locks the doors if programmed on) in 30 seconds. Open any point of entry to stop the re-arm until the next disarm by remote.

Onetime Bypass*

Turn the ignition On for one to three seconds and then Off. The siren chirps once to conﬁrm one-time bypass is enabled. One-time bypass can be used to temporarily bypass the Passive arming operation for one cycle. It also bypasses the comfort closure and auxiliary channel outputs programmed to activate when arming. After

the next disarm all operations return to normal.

* These features must be turned on by an authorized Directed dealer.

Page 49

Valet Mode

Valet mode can be entered and exited by performing the Remote Valet command or manually using the vehicle key and the control button. When entered, the alarm functions are defeated while the convenience features still operate normally. Arm and Disarm commands lock and unlock the doors while the

to conﬁrm.

Use the following steps to manually enter and exit Valet Mode:

Turn1. the ignition switch On and then Off Immediately 2. press and release the control button once The control center LED turns On when entering and Off when 3. exiting.

Power Save

To reduce power consumption the control center status LED modiﬁes its output if the vehicle is parked for an extended period. If Armed the ﬂashing is reduced after 24 hours. When Valet mode is On, the LED turns off after 1 hour and resets each time the ignition is turned off.

Rapid Resume

If power is ever disconnected by a mechanic or thief, the system will resume the state it was in at the time of disconnection, when power is reconnected.

Automatic Remote Updates

The system sends a silent message to all remote controls after any major action has occurred. When the remote receives this message it updates the status screen icons. This way all users are able to quickly review the system status just by accessing the status screen.

Page 50

Out of Range

Each time a command is performed the remote will expect a command response from the system. If a command response is not received the

OUT OF RANGE

screen and tone plays as an alert.

No Remote Output

Occasionally when a command is performed the remote may not generate a command response output or Out of Range output. This indicates that the system received the command but it was an incomplete command (e.g. Aux button pressed too short to activate the trunk release) or it was an illegal message (e.g. the command was corrupted due to local RF interference). These are temporary normal functions of the system and remote, perform the command again within 10 seconds to return to normal operation.

System Expansion Options

Controlling two vehicles (Car Select)

The Responder HD and 1way companion remote can control systems in two different vehicles saving the need for multiple remote controls. This feature also allows for customized system conﬁgurations on each vehicle that has more than one driver. See Owner Recognition for details.

When you select the car you wish to control, the remote control sends a request to the selected car which, if within range, responds with its system status information. The remote then displays the new car screen followed by the updated status screen. If the newly selected car does not respond the remote control then displays the

CAR 1 NOT AVAILABLE

screen (or Car 2 if applicable) and remains in

the newly selected car mode.

Owner recognition

The system can be conﬁgured to recognize the remote used when disarming and change selected features to match the remote users preferences. Memory seat adjustment, siren chirps, passive arming, remote button auto unlocking, alarm output duration can all be custom set for each remote user at the time of installation.

Comfort closure

Comfort Closure emulates turning the key in the door cylinder or holding the lock button of an OEM keyless entry. It will automatically close the windows and sunroof on vehicles with this type of OEM convenience feature.

Alarm output duration

The length of time the siren sounds can be adjusted from 1 to 180

Page 57

seconds at the time of installation.

Arming and warn-away chirp control

The system arm, disarm and sensor warn-away chirps can be conﬁgured for those that prefer a custom silent alarm operation.

Driver door priority unlocking

The door unlocking operation can be conﬁgured to emulate an OEM style of driver priority unlocking for added security during disarming.

Auxiliary Channels

The Auxiliary Channel outputs of this system can activate many of the convenience features found in today’s vehicles. Once a command is performed to activate a convenience feature the Responder HD displays an animation that matches the feature.

Battery Information (Responder HD)

The Responder HD remote control is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that can be serviced only through an authorized Directed Electronics dealer. The information and precautions in this section can help maximize your battery’s life and usage in providing your Responder HD remote control with many years of trouble free operation. The battery information for the 1way companion remote control can be found in the 1-way Companion Remote Control section of this manual.

Warnings! NEVER connect the supplied AC adapter to products other than the Responder HD remote control. It is a high current device designed speciﬁcally for rapid charging of the Responder HD battery and may cause severe damage or explosion when connected to any other products.

Charging the battery when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 113°F (45°C) may cause severe battery damage and/or reduce battery life. Avoid placing the remote control in areas exposed to extreme cold or heat (direct sunlight) when charging the battery.

Battery

Low Battery

After a command is performed the Responder HD and 1way companion remote controls check their battery level and, when the level requires attention, will begin generat-

Page 59

ing alerts. Once the alerts begin they will continue to command the system for several days but should be charged at the earliest opportunity or failure to control the system may occur.

Low Battery Alerts

When disarming the system using a remote control with a low battery the siren will emit one additional chirp as an alert. If conﬁrmation chirps are programmed off, the system will still emit one chirp as an alert when disarming. The Responder HD remote control also interrupts each Status screen output and plays the

LOW BATTERY ON REMOTE

screen with several alert beeps.

Important

To preserve power at critically low battery levels the HD remote disables the color display, stops receiving messages from the system, and only performs basic commands. The beeps and blue transmit LED continues to operate while performing basic commands until the battery is charged.

Battery Life

The Responder HD remote control has many features that make it one of the most unique remote controls on the market today, including superior long range communication with the system. The default feature settings provide for excellent battery charge duration. However, to maximize this duration between charges, the following suggestions will help:

Warning! Safety First

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask your retailer or contact Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.

Remote Start Capable

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed menu wheel. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.

Manual Transmission Vehicles

Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You

must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your authorized Directed dealer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.

Page 66

Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:

Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or s behind the vehicle. Only remote start on a ﬂat surfaces Have the parking brake fully engageds

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the owner have the parking / emergency brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualiﬁed automotive shop biannually.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to ﬁx the problem.

After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer

Safety

must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN

YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

This product is designed for fuel injected vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.

This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain risk.

Interference

All radio devices are subject to interference which could affect proper performance.

Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire tach inputs)

To program Virtual Tach:

After the install is complete, 1. remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of the starter before the engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal programming operation. Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.2. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed. 3. To reset Virtual Tach, go into the Reset and Deletion section of this guide. Virtual Tach cannot be reset with the Bitwriter.

Note:

Virtual Tach cannot be used in MTS Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel

trucks.

Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected.

Important: After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters may over crank or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used ﬁne tune the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence.

Learning the Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach)

To learn the tach signal:

Start1. the vehicle with the key. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control button.

After 3 seconds the status LED on your Control Center lights constant when the tach signal is learned.2.

Release3. the Control button.

Note: When the tachometer is programmed, the main unit automatically enters the Tachometer engine

checking mode.

Neutral safety switch interface

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the vehicle has a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part.

Important: You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the following test. Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connecting to the brake as a shut-down.

Testing the neutral safety switch

Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.1. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.2. Set the emergency brake.3. Turn the key to the “run” position, this releases the shifter.4. Place the car in drive (D).5. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the 6. starter engages.

Page 83

Activate the remote start system.7. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down. If the 8. starter does not engage, no additional safety system is required. If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to

directechs.com

www.

for Document 1008 under the Resource tab. For an alternative shut-down method which prevents the starter from engaging. If the vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics Technical Support for an alternative shut-down method.

Do not return the vehicle to the customer until this feature is properly installed!

Remote Start Shutdown/Startup Diagnostics

Shutdown diagnostics: If the remote start activates but fails to stay running, the remote start module has the ability to inform you of what may have caused the remote start failure. Before performing shutdown diagnostics it is important that you let the remote start shut off on its own i.e. let it attempt to start 3 times then shut down, if this is not done the unit will report the shutdown you used to shut off the remote start.

Note: Shutdown diagnostics does not report if the vehicles factory immobilizer is causing the problem.

To perform shutdown diagnostics:

With the ignition Off, 1. press and hold the Control button (on Control Center). Tur n2. the ignition On and then back Off while holding the Control button. Release3. the Control button. Press4. and release the Control button. The status LED ﬂashes to report the last shutdown for one minute or

until the ignition is turned on, as shown in the following table:

Status LED Flashes Shutdown Mode

1 ﬂash Runtime expired 2 ﬂashes Over-rev shutdown 3 ﬂashes Low or no RPM 4 ﬂashes Transmitter shutdown (or optional push button) 5 ﬂashes (+) Brake shutdown 6 ﬂashes (-) Hood shutdown 7 ﬂashes Timer mode/Turbo mode/Manual mode error * 8 ﬂashes Neutral safety shutdown 9 ﬂashes Low battery (voltage mode) 10 ﬂashes Alarm triggered ** 11 ﬂashes Wait-to-start input timed out

* Timer mode error: Ignition is on or shutdown input is active when activating timer mode. Turbo mode error: Turbo mode is programmed off, engine is not on or shutdown input is active. Manual mode error: MTS mode not enabled. ** Alarm was triggered during remote start sequence.

Startup Diagnostics: If the vehicle fails to activate the remote start, the remote start module will notify you via your Responder HD 2-way remote control and will ﬂash the parking lights on the vehicle to notify you of what caused the no-start situation.

Reset and Deletion

If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure.

Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIO LET, H1/6 must be connected.)1. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be connected).2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control button: 2 times if you want to delete remotes, 3 times 3. to reset features or 4 times to reset virtual tach. These features are described next.

Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the memory of the security system. This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen. Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system or reset the Virtual Tach setting.

Reset Features: This resets features all of the security system to the factory default settings. Note: This feature does not delete the remotes from the security system or reset the Virtual Tach setting

Virtual Tach Reset: Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach, and on the next remote start sequence the unit begins virtual tach initialization.

Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual tach setting.

Once you have selected the function step, press the Control button once more and hold it. The LED ﬂashes 4. and the siren chirps to conﬁrm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control button While holding the control button, press the 5. the feature has been successfully reset.

Once the feature is reset, the Control button can be released.

Long Term Event History

The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory is replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event history:

With the ignition Off, 1. press and hold the Control button (on Control Center).

Tur n2. the ignition On. Release3. the Control button.

Within 5 seconds, 4. press and release the Control button. The status LED ﬂashes in groups indicating the last two zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned off. Refer to table of zones.

Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and is not reported.

Page 95

Table of Zones

A zone is represented by the number of status LED ﬂashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input.

Zone Description Input Description

1 Trunk Pin H1/7 Blue wire

2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact

detected by the onboard shock sensor

3 Door switch trigger H1/8 Green or H1/6 Violet wire

4 Instant trigger: For optional sensors Optional MUX port

5 Ignition trigger H3/1 Pink wire

6 Hood Pin H2/15 Grey wire

On board shock sensor.

Troubleshooting: Alarm

Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:

Was the onboard shock sensor adjusted before the brain was mounted? If so re-adjust the sensor.1. Has the onboard shock sensor been turned off? The sensor has the ability to be turned off when 2. adjusting. Has the NPC® system been triggered? If so, you hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the 3. ignition key on and off to clear the NPC® memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of NPC®, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of the owners guide.

Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the ﬁrst 3 seconds:

That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system even if the door s is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren continues.

Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:

Have you correctly identiﬁed the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong s door input has been used.

System does not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:

Is passive arming programmed ON?1. Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/7 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the ve-2. hicle? Either the H1/8 green or the H1/6 violet should be used instead.

Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:

Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See s Table of Zones sec- tion of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.

Door locks operate backwards.

This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck wire connections to see if you have re-s versed these.

Page 96

Troubleshooting: Remote Start

The remote start will not activate the remote start

Check remote startup diagnostics.1. Is the neutral safety switch plugged in and turned on? 2. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, make sure the remote start is programmed for Automatic 3. Transmission mode. Is the remote programmed to the system?4. Can the remote start be activated manually by applying a ground pulse to the H1/10 White/Blue 5. wire? Check the harnesses and their connections. Make sure that the harnesses are completely plugged into 6. the remote start module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. Check voltage and fuses on the main 12-pin harness and on the heavy gauge remote start harness.7.

The remote start will activate, but the starter never engages.

Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds after the remote start becomes active. If 1. there is voltage present, skip to Step 8. If there is not voltage present, advance to Step 2. Check the 30A fuses.2. If the gray/black wait-to-start wire is detecting ground upon activation, the starter will not crank.3. Is the tach wire connected? If so disconnect it and remote start the vehicle to see if the purple wire 4. sends out voltage. If you get voltage you will need to go to an alternate tach source, the tach wire you are currently on has a voltage spike upon ignition power up which can cause the remote start to not send out the crank voltage. Is the vehicle a Chrysler or GM with a multiplexed starter wire? The vehicle will not crank if the resis-5. tance is incorrect on the multiplexed accessory/starter wire. Is the vehicle a GM? If so the Brown 2nd accessory needs to be powered up on some of the vehicles 6. for the vehicle to crank. If this is a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch will need to be bypassed (see tech tip # 10000 at 7. www.directechs.com) Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the optional starter kill/anti-grind 8. relay. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank 9. if active. Check connections. The heavy gauge remote start input wires on the heavy gauge 10-pin connector 10. should have a solid connection. “T-taps” or “scotch locks” are not recommended.

The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.

Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer can cut the fuel and/or spark during 1. unauthorized starting attempts. Is the remote start programmed for virtual tach or voltage sense? If so, the crank time may not be set 2. high enough. Voltage sense will not work on some vehicles. Is the remote start in tach mode? If so has the tach been programmed to the system?3. Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after crank-4. ing.

The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running.

Is the system programmed for engine checking off or virtual tach or voltage sense? When pro-1. grammed for either of these features, the engine cranks for the pre programmed crank time regardless of how long it takes for the vehicle to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time. Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to indicate a successful learn.2. Make sure that there is a tach signal at the purple/white tach input wire of the remote start. If there 3. is not a tach signal, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or shorted to ground leading to the remote start. Is an ignition or accessory output wire connected to the starter wire of the vehicle? Verify the color 4. of the starter wire in the vehicle and conﬁrm that an ignition or an accessory output is not connected to that wire.

The vehicle starts, but will only run for 10 seconds

Page 97

Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If this does not work, a tach wire should be 1. used. Check shutdown diagnostics.2.

The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle.

Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one igni tion or accessory wire must 1. be energized in order to operate the climate control system. If the vehicle has an electronic climate control system some will reset when the key is turned off and 2. then back on, unfortunately this is a function of the vehicle and cannot be bypassed.

MTS - Manual Transmission Start diagnostics

When enabling MTS, if you get a failure notiﬁcation from the remote or the vehicle fails to remain started check for following:

Tachometer not connected or programmed.s

E-brake not connected to the remote start unit. The black/white H2/18 neutral safety wire must have s a ground when the parking brake is set.

Foot must be off the brake when activating the MTS mode on the remote.s

Is the door open when enabling the MTS mode? If so this would cause the unit to enter Pit Stop Mode s and the remote start will continue to run when arming/locking the system.

Is the door input connected? The system needs to see a door open then close after initiating the re-s mote start. Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light? If you are connected to the dome light wire and the s dome light is staying on after arming/locking the system, the system can exit the MTS mode.

Make sure the neutral safety switch is plugged in and turned on.s

MTS mode exiting diagnostics:

If the remote start has entered the MTS mode but exits the mode after the system is armed/locked. Check these for possible causes.

The vehicle door has been opened or the security system has been triggered in your absence.s

Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light circuit or does the dome light come on when the ignition s is shut off? If so you may need to go to the independent door inputs of the vehicle.

If you are connected to the dome light wire in the vehicle and cannot connect the system to the s individual door inputs of the vehicle due to it having normally closed door inputs, you can use the Xpresskit DTIMAZDA module or Tech Tip # 1921 at www.directechs.com to interface with these types of circuits.

The E-brake wire connected to the neutral safety input of the system loses ground when ignition s is turned off or after a certain amount of time, with these vehicles unfortunately there is no workaround.

The E-brake wire connected to the neutral safety input of the system has a poor ground. Clean the s contacts on the switch or replace the switch.
