I have a RS on a 2003 Duramax, When the trucks engine temp is above 70 the rs starts the truck just fine but when the engine temp is below that the rs will start the truck and it runs for about 1 min and then shuts down. I have tried to reset the vitural tach but i still have the same issue. Anyone have any other ideas?

try running a tach wire should solve your problem

NOTE *3 The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is located in the LEFT FRONT of the engine compartment to the left of the fan shroud.

NOTE *7 On DIESEL ENGINES the TACH is in the GRAY plug, Pin 37

Ill bring it back to the dealer he said that he has a tach wire hooked up but im not sure. Would that cause it not to start with a cold engine?

yes it could you said you reset virtual tach that doesnt use the tach input wire that uses voltage to monitor if the truck is running or not

That's your problem right there a dealer installed it. And it's having problems how about that. haha but really have him hook up tach the proper way.

i dont have the manual for this alarm. But there should be a TACH setting thats what you should be using. You will need to set the system to tach mode and then learn the tach signal to the system
