06 Toyota 4Runner Remote Start, Windows

Just installed a compustar alarm/rs and bypass in a 06 4runner. When I remote start the truck the airbag light comes on. When I start it with the key there's no light. No factory alarm, and everything else works fine. Any ideas?

This sounds as if you may have missed one of the required wires. Did you hook up both ignitions and the accessory? Verify that you have voltage to all the required wires while remote starting.

Take a look at the ignition switch itself and see if there are more wires than what is listed on the sheet. The sheets are always a good guide, but not always 100% accurate. I have run across a couple of vehicles that required more than what the sheets list. I would recommend testing all the wires coming from the switch to determine their function, and energize one at a time with the proper output (ignition, accessory, etc) if your light goes out, then make a permanent connection using a relay to the wire that solved the problem. The other thing I would recommend trying is if there is no other wires coming from the switch, I would try energizing the accessory as ignition when remote starting. I run into this a lot on Dodge trucks, where the check engine light will trip after remote start if one of the accessory wires is energized as an accessory, for some reason the ECM does not like the delay of accessory power returning, so I set it to ignition output and all is good.

Shouldn't be a problem, i do lots of 4Runners. As long as the two ignitions stay powered during crank this should not happen. You really don't even need the accessory wire, so i know that's not it. Could it possibly be something in your bypass hookups?Mike M2

Definately sounds like an issue with that 2nd ignition wire. Put your test light on it and activate the remote start to watch it and see what it's doing. Mike

I plan on hooking up 2 window modules to a 4runner. I'm using 2 crimestopper cs5501s for rear/sunroof and 2 front windows. I might forget the rear in favor of open/close on sunroof. Anyone have experience with 4th gen 4runners? I've already tapped into the sunroof motor (bypassing any circuit boards). Is this an open, 12v, or ground at rest system? Thanks

Thanks, I'll check the sceond ign. Mike, I'm installing window modules in my 4th gen 4runner (posted a new one in this section) any hints?

hooking up some modules and can't figure out if the windows are open, grounded, or live at rest. I'm hooking up the sunroof, rear window, and front two to a crimestopper module. Set my compustar outputs to latch (-). Thanks
