06 silverado 5901 dlpkgm problem

Hello Everyone.  Long time reader, first time posting.

I've been reading up in this alarm and finally got a good deal on one.  I got the 5901 and DLPKGM.  I downloaded a bunch of information, made notes on the install manual and went to town.  I've installed a few stereo systems, and this is my second alarm install.  The first was on my motorcycle, so it's not as sophisticated as this.  The issue I have is the check engine light is on.  Whether I start it with the RS or the key.   I have no idea why.  Here is what I connected.  Any ideas, please let me know.

Viper 5901:
Main Harness H1 (12 pin):
Red -12V constant
Brown - Siren
Black - Ground
White – Parking light output (gray and black wire)

H3 10-pin
Pink - Ignition 1 pink wire
RED / White – Ignition 2 White
Orange - Hooked to Accessory 1 orange
Violet - Car Side of starter wire Yellow
Green – Ignition side of starter wire Yellow
Red - 12V Constant

RS (5 pin):
BLACK/ White - Grounded
Violet/White – Tach on 5901
Brown - White wire above brake pedal
Grey - Hood Pin

DLPKGM
Pink – Ignition 1 (same as H3 pink wire)
Purple – ODB2 purple wire
Violet White – Tach on 5901

And that’s it. As I was typing this, I think my error is in the H3 harness. I should use the pink/white wire to White. Not %100 sure.

Thanks for your help!!!

You got it wrong.

RED / white should go to +12V constant and pink/white goes to ignition2 white

Also you have to connect RED / black to +12V constant if you hadn't already done so.

Ok, this is what I've done so far,

H3 10-pin
Pink - Ignition 1 pink wire
RED / White – 12V Constant
Orange - Hooked to Accessory 1 orange
Violet - Car Side of starter wire Yellow
Green – Ignition side of starter wire Yellow
Red - 12V Constant

Pink/white - Ignition

RED / black - 12v Constant

The check engine light is still on.  Do I need to do anything with the pink/black?

Thank you so much for your help moonliter, I really appreciate it. 

Can you be more specific ? Describe what steps you had done after you corrected the wiring connections. You hooked up the dlpkgm, did you successfully programmed it ?

Go back to rs, did you learn the tach ? You initiate remote start, did the truck start ? no start ? Is the engine light on all the time even you start with the key ? or just comes on during remote start ?

First, thanks so much moonliter.  I appreciate you taking the time to help.  I would buy you a beer, but the beer over here doesn't compare to an ice cold Molson from Canada. :-)

I double checked the connections.   Everything works as its supposed to. The dlpkgm was programmed successfully.  I learned the tach.  Remote start works wonderfully .  The engine light came on with the key and during remote start.  So I took it to a local auto parts store to see if they can read the code and to my surprise, it is no longer legal to do that.  I would either have to buy one or take it to a mechanic.  I went to another auto parts store and they told me the same.  As I'm driving back, I decided to check the air to see if its working.  as soon as I turned it on, the check engine light turned off!!!   wth???   What a relief.  So I'm not sure what the problem was, but turning on the air cleared the check engine light and I am happy.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi all,

I've had this for almost a couple of months and I love this alarm.  I have 1 issue and I think I may know the answer but wanted to check with you guys. 

Every so often, the airbag light will turn on for about a second and then immediately after, my battery light comes on and stays on until I turn off the car and turn it back on.  It does not do it all the time.  Does anyone know why?

Also, do any of these wires need to be diode isolated?

Thanks!
