06 Toyota 4Runner Remote Start, Windows

Just installed a compustar alarm/rs and bypass in a 06 4runner. When I remote start the truck the airbag light comes on. When I start it with the key there's no light. No factory alarm, and everything else works fine. Any ideas?

This sounds as if you may have missed one of the required wires. Did you hook up both ignitions and the accessory? Verify that you have voltage to all the required wires while remote starting.

Take a look at the ignition switch itself and see if there are more wires than what is listed on the sheet. The sheets are always a good guide, but not always 100% accurate. I have run across a couple of vehicles that required more than what the sheets list. I would recommend testing all the wires coming from the switch to determine their function, and energize one at a time with the proper output (ignition, accessory, etc) if your light goes out, then make a permanent connection using a relay to the wire that solved the problem.

The other thing I would recommend trying is if there is no other wires coming from the switch, I would try energizing the accessory as ignition when remote starting. I run into this a lot on Dodge trucks, where the check engine light will trip after remote start if one of the accessory wires is energized as an accessory, for some reason the ECM does not like the delay of accessory power returning, so I set it to ignition output and all is good.

Shouldn't be a problem, i do lots of 4Runners. As long as the two ignitions stay powered during crank this should not happen. You really don't even need the accessory wire, so i know that's not it. Could it possibly be something in your bypass hookups?

Definately sounds like an issue with that 2nd ignition wire. Put your test light on it and activate the remote start to watch it and see what it's doing.

I plan on hooking up 2 window modules to a 4runner. I'm using 2 crimestopper cs5501s for rear/sunroof and 2 front windows. I might forget the rear in favor of open/close on sunroof. Anyone have experience with 4th gen 4runners? I've already tapped into the sunroof motor (bypassing any circuit boards). Is this an open, 12v, or ground at rest system? Thanks

Thanks, I'll check the sceond ign. Mike, I'm installing window modules in my 4th gen 4runner (posted a new one in this section) any hints?

DRIVER WINDOW UP	Extend lock pulse to roll up window
DRIVER WINDOW DOWN	Extend unlock pulse to roll down window
PASSENGER WINDOW UP	Extend lock pulse to roll up window
PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN	Extend unlock pulse to roll down window
LEFT REAR WINDOW UP	Extend lock pulse to roll up window
LEFT REAR WINDOW DOWN	Extend unlock pulse to roll down window
RIGHT REAR WINDOW UP	Extend lock pulse to roll up window
RIGHT REAR WINDOW DOWN	Extend unlock pulse to roll down window

hooking up some modules and can't figure out if the windows are open, grounded, or live at rest. I'm hooking up the sunroof, rear window, and front two to a crimestopper module. Set my compustar outputs to latch (-). Thanks

Window mods just aren't needed for the side windows or the back window for that matter. Extra channels off the alarm brain can already do these functions....

Thanks mike. Should I tap into the wire near thr motor, switch or find them in the kick panel? You wouldn't have colors for these would you?

Oh yeah, will I burn the motors out? I have my compustar outputs set to negative trigger latch instead of pulse.

You want your channel outputs to have a negative trigger as long as you hold the button in, which in most cases is the pulse setting.All you need to do is simply tie the channel output directly to the drivers door key cylinder wires. They are blue for lock and up , green for unlock and down. you will find them in the divers door harness in the kick panel. These are the same wires you should have your lock wires connected to for your alarm. The longer you give a negative to the wire the further down the windows will go.

As for the back window, you need two relays. wire them to give 12volts out when you press the channel on the remote. Feed 12volts from them to 1) the BLACK/ blue on the back of the dash switch 2)the 1st ignition wire at the igntion switch. Again, as long as you hold the remote button down the further it will go. For rear window up you need a third relay, powering the up wire on the switch(can't remember the color) and the same igntion wire as down.

ok windows are giving me attitude. I'm applying constant - trigger to the lock wires in the kick panel....no good. tried with key on...no good. extended unlock pule to 2.5 seconds, no good. took apart the door and tried at the motor and swich ... no good.

windows don't roll up or down with the key turned in the door, unique to 03+ 4runners?

LF Window up/dn	see notes
Notes: Extended triggers on the door lock/unlock wires will roll the windows up/down. Use validity channels to control.

This is from DEI's website. I have personally tried this and it works....

No good on my 06 sr5. Toyota's manual doesn't mention windows rolling from outside, except the rear, and I tried it in the drivers door (only door with a keyhole). Thanks a bunch though Mike. Also I used a SPDT relay on my compustar 3000 brain and programmed the aux for latch (continous _ output) and the sunroof. Hit it once and it stops at close, again and it vents. Anyone interested and I'll post the details...

Hmmm, maybe it's an option on just the higher end ones, like the Limited. The Sport is a basic model...

Thanks Frank, what do you mean type A? Is that circuit open at rest, negative triggered?

That means Its reversal rest at ground.
