Hello,

Recently installed a 5902 alarm with remote start in my 01 f-250. I am wondering what would cause my remote start to automatically shut off after 4 or five minutes of run time.

I am using the virtual tach setting and haven't had any problems untill recently. After a few minutes the truck will shut off then it will restart itself, it will run again and i will usually shut it off by then or take it out of remote start. My vehicle does not have a factory keyless entry, or a factory alarm system.

Some troubleshooting questions / ideas i have:

Will the wrong jumper settings do this? I believe they are vertical when the module is horizontal. Is there a bit writer setting that i may not have correct?

I have the remote start run time set for 30 min i have a 6 sec delay, starter release is at 150 milli sec it was at at 350 but i just bumped it down..

Not sure of what else to check?..... all my connections were soldered.... any one had this same issue?

On Ford vehicle, I often set the tach to off with a 1 sec crank time...this setting as often worked good for me on hundreds of Ford vehicle done....never add any come backs. Yes, tach is more stable but this setting above works beautifully. Good luck

you could always do shutdown diagnostics to see whats causing it to shutdown.

You know I gave up on this....I just couldn't get a strong tach signal and get the module to learn the tach. I don't know how to do the injectors that everyone is talking about either, so have been dealing with the virtual tach, and finding out that it's not really that reliable.

How do i do a shutdown diagnostic? That sounds like it may be worth a try before i delve into finding a good tach signal.

Let the remote start run its course . Then follow the install guide. It will flash the LED telling u what's wrong.

Definitely tach issue, maybe you could program the unit for engine checking off and set the unit to one second crank time and see how that works for you.

Tach off with 1 sec cranking time has always worked for me...You'll solve your problem instantly.

guys, I am kinda lost here. The OP said he can start the car, but it turns off after 4-5minutes of running. So I thought cranking time should not be a problem, right? because by the time the car shut down, the crank has been released long ago. am I right here?
