Installed a 791XV... programmed the tach, and the car starts right up. However several gauge lights stay on (ABS, Check Engine) and also on the message display "Check traction control" I double checked my wires and the only question I have is do ALL of the accessory wires have to be used in order to remote start? I have both ignition wires hooked up currently. I disconnected the battery and reconnected it back then tried starting the car with the key and all was well. No lights in the gauges stayed on. But as soon as I used the transmitter, then the lights came back on again.

Any help will greatly be appreciated. TIA

I have checked Audiovox, Ultrastart and JBS wiring charts:
There is some confusion on what wire is what:

Audiovox an Ultrastart say:

Ignition 2 GRAY / YELLOW (+) IGN SWITCH HARNESS
Accessory 1 BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

But JBS says:

IGNITION 2 BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
ACCESSORY /HEATER BLOWER 1 GRAY / YELLOW (+)   IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Have you tested the wires??

i got

Ignition 1 - BROWN / Pink (+) @ ignition harness
Accessory 1 - Gray / YELLOW (+) @ ignition harness
Accessory 2 - Gray / YELLOW (+) @ ignition harness

yes, both wires are the same colour and both must be used to allow the heater/blower motor to work.
