2006 Acura tl dball2/clifford 4706x problems (resolved)

You can test the thick Pink wire for a +12V output during a remote start attempt. I believe that it is dead and will not output the +12V signal. Assuming that is the case, the work around is your best hope ( short of a replacement brain ). Did you try Engine Checking = OFF?Soldering is fun!

i'll test the pink wire again tomorrow when i can get to the shop and to my multimeter, because i only hit it with a test light on the wire and at the pin for the brain the other day and it showed power going to it. i'll have to try the engine checking as well. i'm just hoping the one careless mistake didn't cost me the brain. i'm almost st the point of just coughing up the $165 and ordering another clifford 4706x, wiring it the original way and seeing if that will fix my issue. just wanted to exhaust all options before i ordered another. would hate to order another one and still have the same problems and then not being able to return it.

tried the remote start shutdown/start up diagnostics. wired up the original way i get 3 and 4 flashes. wired up the work around i get 3 flashes.

Tach issue? Have you tried programming to Engine Checking = Fixed as a test?Soldering is fun!

i ran a tach wire to a fuel injector wire on friday, did learning the tach and got the constant led on the control center. just tried programming to engine checking = off and now i'm getting 4 flashes and 9 flashes

And this is with the "work around" wiring?Soldering is fun!

just redid the learning the tach and got the constant led again. tried a remote start and got 3,4,9 flashes

yeah this is with the work around wiring

Did you test the thick Pink wire during a R/S? Did you connect that thick Pink wire to the Pink/White wire through a diode?Soldering is fun!

i checked it with it wired in the original wiring and during a remote start it would jump way up to 20 then settle at 12v. yeah i hooked it up through a diode but still the same results. i'm bout ready to pull my hair out with this thing and i know you probably are as well. i'm sorry for all the troubles but i definitely appreciate the help. i'm still pretty tempted on pulling the trigger on a factory refurbished Viper 4806V i found for $129.99 just to see if that fixes my problem.
