Subject: remote starter won’t activate
Date Posted: December 28, 2008 at 8:56 AM
We are installing a AutoPage RS-602 into a 2009 Toyota Corolla, and it acts like it is disabled. The remote starter won't activate. It responds to the lock and unlock signal. But no response to the remote start.
Wiring is:
Violet = Starter
Red = 12V Constant
Yellow = Ignition 1
Pink = Ignition 2
Brown = Accessory
Wiring appears to be correct, it's been double checked and triple checked. But still no response to the remote start. Is this a programming issue?
I've installed these systems previously, but have not run into this issue before.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

It appears to be a programming issue. I had the same problem, make sure to go through the entire process on both remotes.

We did this, and it still does not activate the remote start, it only allows for the lock/unlock at this point in time. Is there anything else that might be an issue?
TIA

Is there a 2nd starter wire that is not connected? Did you check the hood pin or neutral safety switch or brake switch? When you hit the remote start what happens, does the process start or just no responce at all?

WELL?

If you mean the Ignition 2 Input, yes it is connected. Yes, these other issues have been checked.
When you push the lock and unlock buttons you can hear the relays activate. When you push the remote start button, nothing happens, no LED Response, no audible clicking, nothing.
Have reset the factory default settings, reprogrammed both remotes, and still have the same issue - lock/unlock buttons work, but nothing from the remote start will activate.

Well if it does nothing at all you can eliminate any ignition switch wiring as the problem. It would at least try to come on if it was. The issue is certainly not anteena as you get response for locks. That leaves only 3 possibilities, hood pin, neutral safety, or brake. Try disconnecting the hood and the brake and see if it goes....

We seem to have located the issue with this, the instruction manual indicates to program the Ignition with some vague terminology. After talking with a friend who installs these systems, he gave some helpful hints for this, and today we are going to try this again, and it should be up and running. It appears the issue was with terminology in the instruction manual - they really should state one needs to use the Valet Switch as part of the programming in this step as well - which it doesn't state in the manual. Hence, this appears to have been the problem all along. A programming issue, as we suspected, but were unable to determine exactly what that was. Step III Programming the Ignition indicates to use the programming key to start this, when in reality it is the valet switch they need to refer to.
