This is on a mazda 3 2007

I installed a prostart with a PKall express kit to bypass and today all its doing is getting up to the point that everything is on and that then gets 3 flashes from the park lights.

Plus my little immobilizer key on the dash flashes really quick when its trying to start.

any Idea??

Its out of valet mode and the home valet is disabled.Im leaning towards the Expresskit Bypass box that is not working but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

diagnostics indicate it can be one of the following below. Does the car just crank? if so then you might need to check out the bypass wires and see if anything came loose. What you can also do is place the key in the ignition, and if it starts there is a bypass problem.

Entering Cold Weather Mode

Entering remote valet

Entering ignition valet

Exiting Ready mode

Hi!

thanks for the info!

The car starts with the key but with the remote start it doesnt crank at all.It just powers up the accessories,then my remote beeps and I get 3 flashing lights from the park lights.

Plus when my remote starter tries to start the immobilizer key in the dash flashes really quick.

I did a continuitiy check on all the wires to the immobilizer box too.

www.prostart.org

most of the new stuff, they all use the same brain so the diagnostic codes are pretty much similar. if it attempts to start and fails, its a bypass problem. try remote starting it with the key in the ignition. if it starts up no problem, then you definitly have a bypass issue. tripple check wiring or check if the ground when running (status ouput) is working.

Perfect thanks again!

i did check that ground when running wire and it was good.I will go and exange the bypass box tomorow,I even tried reseting the starter box plus reconfiguring the xponder bypass with no luck in the start.

correct me if im wrong but if the car is atempted to start without the key in the immobilizer key light will flash really quickly.I can thinking that the box has failed.I will see tomorow:)

It ended being the the kpall express kit bypass box that was faulty.

Thanks for the help
