ok guys.... i got my remote start done (viper 791) with the bypass module (dei 555l), and everything seemed to be working fine....it starts the truck normal, but my check engine light is on, and the transmission isnt working right....it takes off really hard in first gear, and shifts terribly to 2nd gear....if i shut the truck off and start it with the key, everything works great, but my light never goes off....anybody have ideas??? did i miss a wire or what?? (the 2nd ignition wire is hooked up, the white wire, so thats not the problem) anybody heard of this before?? thanks a lot

The problem could be that you damaged your transmission....you have to power up all the ign wires on the harness.. not powering one up will cause the check engine light to come on and potentionally damage that. What year is the vehicle?and how many wires did you hook up from the relay pack?

double check the 2nd ign white wire, and make sure it's getting 12v at the correct time., disconnect the batt for a few mins then the light should go out, start it with the key, drive it around, if the light stays off it's the rs doing it. if it comes back on, get a scan tool and pull the code.....

DEI states that not connecting the second ign white wire can cause damage to the trans. i would hook up the second acc, brown wire as well, ive seen this trigger check engine lights.

yeah sounds like 2nd ignition to me, I've seen it throw tranmission codes if it wasn't hooked up right. Check it with a multimeter.

hook up second acc, brown wire, that can trigger a check engine code. your trans could just be messed up by itself.
