avital 4103 not starting

I've browsed the other topics I could find regarding this issue but have had no luck yet. Hopefully I'll include all the details to determine what the issue might be. Avital 4103 on a 2009 Scion xb Remote Start Plug (2) red constant from avital tied together connected to (+) white 12v constant at ignition switch Pink/white from avital connected to (+) white ignition 2 at ignition switch Orange from avital connected to (+) black ACCESSORY /HEATER at ignition switch Purple from avital connected to (+) white starter at ignition switch Pink from avital connected to (+) gray ignition 1 at ignition switch Remote start harness BLACK/ white from avital grounded to bolt on frame violet/white from avital connected to gray tach wire at data plug brown from avital connected to blue brake wire at pedal gray from avital connected to hood pin blue/white from avital not used Satellite harness not used Main Harness black from avital grounded to bolt on frame white from avital not hooked up yet I think I covered all the wires I have connected. My issue is the remote start function. After pressing the asterick button the avital acts as if it is trying to start vehicle but never actually cranks. After the the three tries if I run the shutdown diagnostics I get 3 flashes from LED. I went in to menu 2 feature 1 and selected option 4, I started vehicle with key and re-learned tach. (is there a way to check which option is currently selected or a way to reset?)Still a no go with the remote start. I can perform the valet take over function and the vehicle will stay running. I hope this is a clear explanation. Thank you for any help you can provide on my situation.

Did you verify that your xB does not have a transponder based ignition immobilizer system?  Try a R/S with the ignition key head held next to the ignition switch.

There is a Starter2 wire that should be powered during a remote start with an isolated/separate R/S Starter circuit.

There are multiple White wires at the main ignition harness.  Did you verify each wires function with a DMM?

Soldering is fun!

I am under the impression the scion does not have a transponder. I did try to start vehicle with key inserted in ignition and in on position but it did not start. True on the starter2 wire, I don't have anything hooked to this. I wasn't sure what wire would connect to this from the avital. Which wire from the avital would go to starter2 wire? There are multiple white wires coming from ignition, I did test them to ensure proper function before connecting avital wires. Thanks for the help

Some xB's did have transponder systems.  Very strange that the 4103 could not remote start the car with the key in and

turned to ON.  ( Perhaps you have the Avital Starter output connected to Starter2? )STARTER     WHITE (+)  @ IGNITION SWITCH, (WHITE, 8-PIN PLUG), PIN 8    STARTER 2  WHITE (+)  @ IGNITION SWITCH, (WHITE, 8-PIN PLUG), PIN 1 

For the Starter2 wire you will need an extra 30/40 Amp SPDT relay, an inline fuse holder and appropriate fuse.  Here is the

wiring.

Relay Pin 85 to Avital 4103 PINK (-) STARTER OUTPUT, 4-pin satellite harness

Relay Pin 86 & 87 to +12V constant through fuseRelay Pin 30 to xB Starter2 @ ignition switch harnessRelay Pin 87a not used - insulate

Soldering is fun!

Thank you for the info. I will give that a try and post the results. Thanks again.

TYPO ALERT!!! Avital satellite STARTER OUTPUT is PURPLE

Thanks for catching that Dave.  I even cut and pasted it right out of the install guide, plus I knew and even mentioned it in a Pictorial.  Soldering is fun!

Thanks guys for correcting that. I'll be doing this later today.

Works like it's supposed to now. I really appreciate the help.
