2013 Equinox 3x Lock Remote Start Issues

Question

I have a EVO-ALL (v6) and on the latest firmware.

Chevy Equinox 2013 with standard key, and T harness kit.

Everything should be wired correctly.

I have done the programming and decrypted.

When I press lock three times, my car turns on (dashboard lights up, guages engage, radio on, etc.) but the car doesn't try to start. If I perform a remote start immediately after shutting off removing my key, the car will crank, turnover and shutoff.

It appears to be a failed start (3 red flashes) that I assume is caused by failure to read tach sensor

Any ideas?

Answer 1

What is the service number to the module? The service number can be located on the back of the unit above the bar code.

As stated in the installation guide: http://fortin.ca/download/63371/evo-all_ig_tsa_bi_gm1_lacrosse_regal_verano_c_63371.pdf

 

Flash firmware 4.12 and connect lt.blue to lt.blue/black.

 

Then re test.

 

If doing 3x lock make sure options C1, D1 & D1.10 are on also.

Derek,

 

I re-wired the harness and spliced together lt.blue to lt.blue/black. I also flashed to firmeware 4.12 (this was listed as a "beta" in FLM).

I now can remote start. I ensured that the options were set. I also opted for lock/unlock/lock autostart instead of 3x lock (this seems to avoid unnecessary honking of the horn).

The only remaining issue is timing the lock/unlock/lock sequence...it seems hit or miss. What pattern and timing will yield the most consistent results? Should I press lock until I hear the horn honk and then press unlock and lock?

The wiring fix and flashing to 4.12 definitely fixed the failed start error that I was expeirencing...every time the auto start sequence has been triggered now, the engine starts up without any issues.

put a one mississippi pause between each button press.
