Can any body tell me why after installing a remot start, the Check engine light might come on??  I have checked everything that I did and there seems to be no problem on my end.

Thanks    T

Drive it like you rented it!!!!!

Most of the time it's because you did not power up an ignition or an accessory wire that needs to be powered. What year, make & model vehicle is this your installing into ?

this is on a 96 chevy blazer.  The wiring diagram from this site show that it is supposed to have 3 ingition wires, but the rs only comes with 2 hook ups.  Is This the Problem....If so how do I fix it??

Add another relay for you third ignition.  Not a biggie at all.  That should take car of the light

Here is what I would do.  I would buy a relay and hook it up as follows.

Red Wire  -   Ignition output from brain

Black wire  -  Ground (VERY GOOD GROUND)

Yellow wire  -  12volt constant supply (Ignition harness)

Brown wire  -  Hook up to third ignition wire

Orange wire - Do not use

This is with a Directed relay and recomend you use these since they can handle a lot of current.  Let me know if you have any more q's!

Pin 30 goes to the 3rd igntition wire you need to power up

Pin 87 goes to fused 12v+ power source

Pin 86 goes to an Ignition  wire

Pin 85 goes to a (-)out when running wire from the RS.

So what you are saying is that the brown wire does not even need to be attached
