2015 Kia Sorento Standard Key T-Harness Evo-One Step 4 Solid Amber Light

0 votes
Installing a Evo-One in a 2015 Kia Sorento with T-Harness and standard key. Completed wiring. Spliced yellow A1 into pink ignition wire in T-Harness. Cut white wire in T-Harness. I have flashed the Evo-One with the lastest firmware in both remote start connection and bypass mode. In FlashLink Manager for desktop Pro Mode, I set the mode to OEM Lock-Unlock-Lock on 38.4(?). I am using an OEM key. That is the only option I configured.

With the key out, I plug in the 6 wire harness while holding the programming button. Lights flash red->blue->red & blue->yellow and I release the button. Yellow is solid on, other lights are off. I plug in the remaining connectors. Insert the key into ignition, and turn to RUN position. The light stays solid yellow.

I have probed the C2 & C4 and have 2.4v for CAN-Low at the C connector. I have 2.6v at the C1 & C3 connector for CAN-High. I can not get to the blue flashing x10 times in the programming steps.

Car starts normally with key.

Light staying solid yellow is that the unit cannot read the immobilizer.

If the vehicle is in the US and did not require PATS-DATA connection to do, follow programming method #2 on page 5. https://fortin.ca/download/60661/EVO-ONE_IG_THR_BI_HYU2-KIA-SORENTO_2014-2015_KEY_A_60661.pdf

Thanks for the reply. I checked the drivers kick panel again, and I do not have the PATS wire. I followed the programming method #2 on page 5. I released the programming button when the light is on blue, and plugged in the remaining harnesses. I turn the ignition to the on position and the blue light is flashing. I turned key back to the off position, and the blue light turns off. With all doors closed and pressing Lock->Unlock->Lock, I hear the Evo-One make a click sound after about 3 secs. No lights illuminated on Evo-One. No start is attempted.

Probing all the connection on the main harness, I have 12v constant on the red with white stripe. I don't have any voltage readings on the remaining wires.

In FlashLink Manager, I tried updating the module again by loading the default options. Only changing the option to use the OEM key. Are any other bypass modules required with the Evo-One to use the OEM key to start the vehicle?
