I have a Code Alarm ca545 remote start system installed in my buddies 1994 camry. I installed everything, and in the beginning, everything worked fine.

Heres the problem: When i remote start the vehicle, everything works, but the vehicle will only run for about 1 to 2 minutes. After that, it shuts down, and refuses to remote start again (parking lights flash 3 times). I can repeat this process by unplugging both power harnesses from the brain. After I do this, I am able to remote start, but like i said, the vehicle only runs ro 1 to 2 minutes.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Could the accessory circuit be drawing too much power, and maybe the unit has a shut off for something like that?

Anything helps-

THanks in advance

What does 3 flashes mean? Is there a diagnostic tool on board? You may need to reprogram the tach signal. The accessories should be turned on and the car should be warm when you program the tach.

i have a little experience with code alarms..they suck! lol but seriously, i dont remember what 3 flashes means. i know they are programmed default to run for 10 minutes. check the diagnostics to see what 3 flashes is and you will know where to start.

Thats the thing, neither of the manuals tells me what 3 flashes means. I know what 4 flashes means but not 3.

Do you have the unit set for tach or voltage?
