2011 Altima Auto-headlights never turn off with remote shutdown with OEM remote

Question

Hi, I just recieved my EVO-NIST1 and I'm loving it! The only two issues I have are:

1) Auto headlights never turn off if I remote shutdown and don't open the doors. I have confirmed that the door pink/black wire is connected by remote starting in the car then pressing the brake. The engine shuts off. It doesn't do this if I open the door before pressing the brake.

2) Doors don't relock when remote shutdown is engaged. I have to press lock a 4th time on my OEM remote to lock the doors and arm the alarm.

Answer 1

1) the pink/black send a negative pulse after shutdown. Make sure this wire is connected to the driver door pin. When the door is open, the wire should be ground. Autolights will shutdown approx. 30 seconds after shutdown.

2) Program Lock after start in the EVOALL options. You will need the flashlink updater to enable this option.

Comments

Yes I can confirm that the pink/black wire is grounded. The lights still won't turn off if i never open the door.

And I do have the lock doors after start enabled, but it still won't relock when I turn off the engine remotely.

What is the service number to the module?

Have you tested the pink/black wire on the evo to see if their is an output when shuttind down the car?

Also have you tested the wire in the vehicle you connected to? If so how did the wire test in the open / closed position of the drivers door?

Answer 2

2) Doors don't relock when remote shutdown is engaged. I have to press lock a 4th time on my OEM remote to lock the doors and arm the alarm.

The answer to this one is simple. Door Lock wire needs to be connected. All Nissan/Infinit vehicles will unlock the doors once ignition turns off, this is by factory with or without a remote start installed.

You can find the door lock wiring in the guide or at a more convenient location in the driver kick panel as indicated in this post: http://wirecolor.com/en/qa/22473/

 

For the autolights, Check the following:

- test the vehicle wire

- test the output of the evo

- when testing the remote starter, do it like everyday use. ie. close and lock the doors, wait 1 minute, then try remote starting.

- keep in mind their may be a 45 second delay before they do turn off as indicated in the vehicle Owners Manual.
