Installation guide

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park

(P), open the hood. Activate the remote start system. The vehicle

should not start. If the starter engages, check your hood pin and

connections. Note: If programmed for Diesel Mode, the system

will turn on the ignition, but the starter should not engage with the

hood open.

3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:

Important: Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and

rear of the vehicle before attempting this test.

a. Make sure the hood is closed and no other shutdown circuits

are active.

b. Set the emergency brake.

Note: Failure to do so could result in personal injury, property

damage or both.

c. Turn the ignition key to the run position but do not start the

engine.

d. Put the vehicle in Drive (D).

e. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on

it. Be ready to step on the brake to shutdown the remote start

system.

f. Activate the remote start system.

• If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down

the system. If it does engage, recheck the neutral safety input con-

nection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch.

• If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. Once the sys-

tem passes all three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled. Do not

use the remote start system or ﬁnalize the installation if it fails any

of the safety check tests.
