2006 town & country, remote starter

Hi all. I have a problem with remote starter on T&C 2006. I don't know what I did wrong or I miss something. The remote start and run for 5 second then shutdown and keep doing it. But if start with the key or drive to to someplace for awhile then I can start it just fine or comeback 3 or 4 hrs later then start it'll start rite away and stay. But not more then 6 or 7 hrs. My setup on this one was CM6200 w blade al & RF-2W9000 do the bypass in type 2 like datalink recommend. Did connect brake and parking light from the control unit and those working just fine. The only one thing I'm confuse about the second starter most the website or in here said I need to install the second starter with relay and resistor but in datalink instruction didn't said that only type 5 use that relay. But I still go with the most recommend and the problem I only have is above like I state. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks all.

Did you use a relay & 180 Ohm resistor connected to the T&C's PURPLE / Brown MUX wire?  According to the ADS AL(DL) CH6 install guide, it handles the Starter MUX control thru Data.  Disconnect that wire going to the PURPLE / Brown MUX wire and see what happens.  For the ignition circuits, all you should need from the CM6200 is an Ignition connection to the Pink/White wire and a Starter connection to the Yellow wire.  ( There is no Accessory wire. )Soldering is fun!

It sounds like its either the 2nd starter wire (what kreg mentioned) or a bad tach signal learn. Did you connect the tach wire? Try relearning the tach and see if that helps. If not relearn the tach again, but with your foot just barely on the pedal (just bring the rpms up a little bit). That way it will learn a slightly higher tach rate which may help with cold starting.Kenny

Yes I. Did use a relay & 180 ohm resistor and a diode too. OK I'll try to disconnect that and see what happen then. Oh I use tach less on this one. If I want to use tach then which wire should I connec then. Thanks

It sounds to me like you need to connect the tach wire. Tachometer     NOT BROWN / white     ac     ign. coil pack or any fuel injector That should fix your problem. It sounds like when trying to start cold, it isn't cranking long enough to get the car running. Tach is always the best way to connect it.Kenny

The ADS Blade AL with Blade AL(DL) CH6 firmware should supply a good tach signal.  It uses an internal connection between the Blade and the CM6200

with data it pulls off the J1850 Data wire.  The CM6200 comes defaulted for Tach Mode operation ( 2-10 Opt 1 ).  All you should have to do after the Blade is successfully programmed to the van is the Tach Learn Process.

STEP 1: Start the vehicle with the key. Allow time for the engine to idle down.

( Step 2 not necessary with Blade AL module supplying the Tach signal. )

STEP 2: Test wire and make connection. At idle the tach wire should test between 1 to 4 Volts AC. As the

vehicle RPM’s increase the voltage on the meter will also increase. Always solder tach connections.

STEP 3: Learn tach. While the vehicle is at idle, hold the foot brake and activate the remote start function

on the remote control for 2.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once and the siren will chirp once to

confirm a good tach signal. The parking lights will flash two times and the siren will chirp two times to

indicate the tach did not learn. Two seconds following the two flashes, the number of parking light flashes

will indicate the cause of the error.

If Step 3 does not give the one flash learned signal, then try an external Tach source as listed above previously.

Soldering is fun!

Ahh... I missed the part about the blade-al. Kreg is correct, it should supply the tach signal and all you have to do is make sure your programming is set for tach sensing then program the tach signal.Kenny

Sorry to respond late. I did remove the starter 2 and test I can start without the relay hookup. And tried to learn tach like kreg said but not successful the parking light flash twice thats mean not learn. So I just go back and try on tactless mode and it still work but after 4 or 5 hrs passed. I tried again the starter not work.I think I have to go with the tach wire then. I'll post that up later. Try to rest now since still got sick. Thanks all.

Did you check the programming to make sure you are set for tach sensing mode?Kenny
