Safety check

Before vehicle reassembly, the remote start system must be checked to ensure safe

and trouble-free operation. The following test procedure must be used to verify

proper installation and operation of the system. The installation must be com-

pleted before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.

Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), activate the

remote start system. Once the engine is running, press the brake pedal.

The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run,

check the brake circuit connection.

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.

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.

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

Set the emergency brake.

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

Put the vehicle in Drive (D).

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.

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 connection. The

vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch. (See H2/1 BLACK/

WHITE neutral safety switch input in Remote Start Harness Wire Connec-

tion Guide section of this guide.)

If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. Once the system passes

•

the tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use

the remote start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety

check tests.
