Safety check

Before vehicle reassembly, the remote 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 completed before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.

1. 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 contin-

ues to run, check the brake circuit connection.

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

• If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. Once the system passes all three tests, the vehicle can

be re-assembled. Do not the use the remote start system or ﬁnalize the installation if it fails any of the

safety check tests.
