VERIFICATION OF INSTALLATION
Make sure that the module is set to desired mode, Automatic Transmission
or Manual Transmission
, at Stage 1 - Level 16 of programming
before
proceeding with main harness test.
STEP 1: ENGINE TAKEOVER TEST (CONTINUOUS MODE)
This test will help you verify if all required vehicle circuits are properly powered up with the remote start.
Programming should be performed before attempting to check the system since some outputs (e.g. immobilizer,
additional ignitions) need to be configured properly to prevent error codes from being stored in the vehicle’s ECM.
Check connections to the P4 harness with the following test:

Close all doors.

Put gearshift lever in neutral (N) and release the parking brake.
 Start vehicle with ignition key.

Activate parking brake once or twice, depending on the module programming (the purpose of this
is to allow the control module to take over the engine).
 Activate continuous mode doing the Start command (2 commands are required if Turbo mode’s
enabled)
 Withdraw key from the ignition switch.
The engine should keep running. Make sure that all functions operate properly:
 no warning indicators;
 charging system;
 climate controls;
 parking lights;
If any of these features fail to operate or if the engine stalls, additional relays may be required to activate additional
circuits or a programming may need to be changed. Read the diagnostic code on the control module LED and refer
to the table of diagnostic codes on page 24 for a description of the problem.
STEP 2: FULL START TEST
WARNING!! There is no need to attempt a remote start if the Engine takeover test procedure fails.
Start vehicle using the remote transmitter.
For manual transmission, execute the safety sequence, as programmed in Stage 1 - Level 16 and described in
the User Manual.
The vehicle should start and run normally with the circuits functioning correctly as in Step 1 above.
Note: When the remote starter is installed on a vehicle equipped with a transponder type immobilization system, it is
preferable to complete the installation of the control module and to test it before proceeding with the connection of
the interface that neutralizes the vehicle's immobilization system (anti-start). To do so, test the remote starter with a
key inserted in the key cylinder. Do not turn the key.
 If everything works fine, install the immobilizer interface and make sure that the vehicle can still be
remote started.
 If the vehicle does not start, see the diagnostic code reference chart. This code will tell you where
to look to solve the problem. You’ll need to solve this problem and have the remote starter working
with a key inserted in the key cylinder before installing the immobilizer interface to the vehicle.
