If the idle is too slow or too high, the system will shut down the engine to prevent damage. If the starter does not crank long enough to actually start the engine, it is possible to change the programming to extend the crank time. Refer to the Programming Options section of this guide.

On some vehicles the electrical system has too low of a voltage variance for the remote start module to see. In this case the engine will not be protected from over cranking, over revolution, or under revolution of the engine.

If this is the case, it will be necessary to locate a tachometer wire in the vehicle using the multi-meter. Identify the suspect wire according to the web information. Then start the vehicle with the key and place the black lead of the multi-meter on the nega- tive battery post and secure it. Put the multi-meter in the AC position and probe the suspect wire with the red lead of the multi-meter. With the engine at idle the multi-meter should read between .05 volts to 1.5 volts.
