561R lock/unlock troubles

Need a little more info.

Is this causing any kind of problem? In other words do the doorllocks still work when you press the remote, or do they only work sometimes?

Getting a pulsed ground out reading on both wires won't hurt anything so I wouldn't be too concerned as long as the system is doing its job. A 98 Acura just needs a simple ground pulse for lock/unlock so we knows it's not the wiring. Also, when you read this ground are you using a test light or a meter? And, are the doorlock output wires connected to the doorlock wires of the vehicle when you are checking them, or you checking directly out of the 561 with nothing else connected?

You really don't need to use a 451m for this car and if the problem turns out to be defective units (highly, highly doubtful) the 451m would do the same thing because it is controled by the same doorlock outputs of the 561.

Also note..,most DEI brains will put out a positve at the SAME time as the other doorlock wire sends out a negative...then it switches the next time you press the remote.

Any chance this could be causing the confusion? It dosen't hurt anything because your car is a negative doorlock which uses relays from the factory. So sending a neg. moves the doorlocks..sending a positive does nothing because the other side of the relay coil is also positve.

They do this so the units have more flexibiltiy, you don't need relays for a positive doorlock, or negative doorlock circuits.

The chance of bad 561R's is almost zero. That leaves things that change when it remote starts, like possibly the amount of amperage. Have you checked the simple stuff, like a ground problem or power issue?

I agree completly with M2.

There has to be something in the install that is effecting the doorlock outputs. what exactly I don't know because I have never encountered this phenomina. However, it is probably something really simple you overlooked. Check everything until you find it and post back in case this ever happens to one of us.

Thanks

you didnt strap arm/disarm with the lock/unlock wires did you?

also, you only hooked up to ONE wire in the vehicle, right?    for example, you didnt do keyless to the keyless wire and also arm/disarm to the security wire?      as you only need to connect to one or the other....     just a thought.....
