Hello,
I am new to the board and am experiencing an issue that was totally self imposed based on my ignorance (wanted to get that out of the way)
I have an 06 Chevy Avalanche bought used with a remote starter / Keyless entry. I believe the Starter is Compustar ( haven't actually accessed the module to check) It does have the Idatastart ADS DL GM module for the ignition interface.
The remote start was working great until yesterday when I was looking at swapping the one way remote for a longer range 2 way remote. In the process I pushed the program button on the ADS Dl module. The LED started blinking and my Keyless entry and remote start stopped working.
I was able to reset the ADS DL module, then 'program' it so that the keyless entry is working again. But, when I try to remote start the hazard lights flash a single time, pause, then 2 more short blinks.
The car does not start.
Since this install was working fine until I pushed the program button I believe the issue is strictly around programming the module correctly, but, no matter what document I reference it seems like Im missing something in the programming procedure.
I realize this post is getting long already. But I can explain what I have done
Disconnect ADS DL module.
while holding the reset button down I plug in the 4 wire data connector
keep holding till the light blinks red
when light stays on solid I connect the other connections back up
light begins flashing green 1 blink repeatedly.
I hold down the program button to save Mode 1 (data), light turns to solid green
On this step I have tried a couple different ways
Turn key to start (meaning the truck actually starts and runs)
Light turns solid green
turn car off, then try remote start with no luck
I have also tried that above process with only turning the key to RUN
Still no start
If its obvious what I'm missing please let me know!
Something else that I don't understand, the programming document tells me how to check the year of my vehicle, but I don't understand if the module needs to know that info somehow, or how it would be entered.
I look forward to seeing what ideas you guys have in solving this. Its cold in Canada. I need my starter to work again.
