Hello experts,
I'm sure there are tons of remote start issues in this community forum. However, after spending hours of researching and reading, I still couldn't find the answer for what I'm looking for. So I hope that someone out there who has experienced installing Viper 5901’s on 98 integra's could please help.
I did exactly as what it said in the Viper Responder LC Model 5901 Security and Remote Start Installation Guide:
https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/downloads.asp?srch=all&term=viper+5901
Here is how my connections look like:
Remote start input - 5-pin connector:
====================================
1. BLACK/ WHITE [(-) Neutral safety switch input] to EBRAKE wire (@ebrake switch). I don't remember the color because I've already put the console back but there is only 1 wire to the switch (I think it's GREEN/ BLACK).
2. VIOLET/WHITE (Tachometer input wire) to BLUE (ECM @passenger side kick panel, middle 31-pin connector, the BLUE wire comes out from pin 2 if viewed from the wire side of female terminals, this is the crankshaft position sensor wire). I also tried to hook it to one of the injectors uncommon wire (Normally YELLOW/BLACK), so I picked RED - No.2 FUEL INJECTOR @ the ECM 32-pin connector (pin 3 if viewed from the wire side of female terminals).
3. BROWN [(+) brake shutdown wire] to GREEN / WHITE (@Brake Pedal Switch)
4. GRAY (hood pin switch input) to GRAY (Hood Pin)
H3 (Heavy Gauge, 10-pin connector)
==================================
1. PINK (Ignition 1 input/output) to BLACK / YELLOW (Ignition Switch Harness)
2. VIOLET (starter output) to BLACK/ WHITE (Ignition Switch Harness) Starter side
3. GREEN (starter input) to BLACK/ WHITE (Ignition Switch Harness) Ignition switch side
TACH was learnt as per instructions for manual transmissions:
1. Start the vehicle with the key.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Valet/Program switch.
3. After 3 seconds the LED lights constant when the tach signal is learned.
4. Release the Valet/Program switch.
As well as remote start activation (many attempts have already been done) as per most people recommendation (all doors, trunk and hood closed, start engine, put gear in neutral, pull ebrake, release brake pedal, press the remote start button on the transmitter, shutdown engine, remove key, open then close driver's door, etc.)
So that's what I have but RS still won't work. All I heard from my remote control was a long beep and ERROR on the display. I believe I got 7 flashes which means Manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized. Unfortunately, the installation guide won’t give you further information on how to fix it.
I also tried the others' recommendations, i.e. leave the key in the ignition switch at different positions, depress the clutch, then try to RS. You know this is not what I wanted to do to RS my car. Just wanted to try to see if I had any issues with my connections or not. None of it works. Well, I'm willing to try everything now if anyone has any more suggestions.
The only thing I haven't tried is to connect the PINK and BLACK wires together at the clutch switch to bypass the clutch. The reason why I didn't try that was because I have talked to a Viper Sales representative before and he told me that for 98 Integra's there are no clutch bypass modules required. And also there is not a single word mentioned anywhere in the installation guide above about this. Other models like 791 XV also did not mention about clutch bypass. So I thought, they appear to be all the same, correct me if I’m wrong.
Any help on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Please don't tell me to make sure the connections are clean and good.
