A buddy of mine had a remote start installed on his girlfriends honda accord. a couple miles after they picked it up, the transmission light came on. The installers stated that he had never seen or heard of this type of problem. They then took the accord to a repair shop, which disconnected the remote start and the tranny light went off. Any ideas what could be making this happen? Sorry I do not have the specifics on the remote, but it is also security with door locks.

thanks

Make sure that the installer hooked up the 2nd ACC wire and also make sure that the proper wires were connected to the vehicle.

The remote start is a Pursuit Model PRO-9556 3 channel remote. The Accord has factory alarm & door locks.

I see the 2nd acc. being an issue for the ABS light, but tranny too? Thats a new one for me!

Don't these cars have an issue with starter kill needing to be hooked up at the fuse box rather than the wire comming from the key?

Never had a problem, but I have heard something about it causing a light to some on.

It sounds like your friend should take it back to the installer. If they can't fix it he should get his money back and go somewhere that can perform the installation correctly.

no problemo. well mthake tell your buddy to take it and get the install fixed or removed free of charge. then do what Kpearson mentioned, bring it to another place to get it done if they cant do it.
