If the vehicle remote starts and then quickly dies, follow the below
steps in order to resolve the problem.
1. Shut down the remote start
2. Is the Theft System light flashing or off? If the light is off
advance to step 3. If the light is flashing advance to step 4.
3. Start the vehicle with the key.
■If the vehicle starts make sure the BLACK wire on the
556L is soldered to the center BLACK wire of the vehicle
passlock wires, also verify that the bulb check wire has
been correctly identified and is soldered to the BLACK/
WHITE wire of the 556L, Check the connection on the
VIOLET wire of the 556L to the relay satellite ribbon
harness VIOLET wire, both of these wires are required for
passlock 1.
■If the vehicle does not start and the Theft System light
remains solid, recheck all connections and meter the
passlock wires to verify you have interfaced with the
correct wires.
4. Wait five seconds and attempt to restart the vehicle with the
key. If the vehicle will not start with the key advance to step 5.
If the vehicle starts and stays running, recheck all connec-
tions. The vehicle has entered Short Tamper mode caused by
a failure of the passlock module to read the R-code within the
time window allowed, verify that the blue/black off the 556L
is seeing a ground trigger when remote started, and is sol-
dered to the Blue status output from the remote start unit. If
3 attempts are made to start the vehicle in which no R-code
is read the passlock system will enter Long Tamper mode
5. The system has entered Long Tamper mode, this mode will not
allow the vehicle to start for 10 minutes, long tamper mode
is almost always caused by the wrong R-code being sent to
the passlock module. This will immediately cause a No-Start
condition, even if an attempt is made to start the vehicle
with the key, In this case wait 10 minutes and reattempt to
learn the R-code after all connections have been verified.

2. Is the Theft System light flashing or off? If the light is off

3. Start the vehicle with the key.
■If the vehicle starts, use a meter to confirm that the
correct wires have been interfaced. Verify all connec-
tions and make sure the BLACK wire on the 555L is
soldered to the ORANGE/BLACK or BLACK wire of the
vehicle passlock wires. Then verify that the VIOLET and
BLACK/WHITE wires from the 555L are NOT connected to
anything, the YELLOW goes to the key cylinder side of
the yellow passlock wire, and the BLACK/YELLOW goes to
the car side of the YELLOW passlock wire.
■If the vehicle does not start with the key advance to
step 4.
4. Wait five seconds, then attempt to start the vehicle with the
key.
■If the vehicle will not start with the key advance to step
5.

nections. The vehicle has entered the Short Tamper
mode. This is caused by a failure of the passlock module

is almost always caused by the wrong R-code being sent to
