Chevy Trax 2014 Takes 4 Button Pushes To Start

0 votes
I have a successfully working install for 2014 Chevy Trax with T harness.  Current firmware updated and used the flash updater to customize for the specific car.  Enabled the 3 lock button press OEM remote start option in the menu, saved those settings to the unit.  Followed the key on/off proceedures to program the unit successfully.

For some reason, it takes 4 lock button pushes to get the starter to engage.  Sometimes it take 2 sequences of 4 button pushes also.  So sorta scratching my head.

The unit is presently attached under the dash and I dont have the service number for the unit.  If it's critical, I can ge the number however.

You have a 3-second window for the 3x lock command.

So if pressing to fast or too slow then you will get the exact symptoms you are describing.

Count 1 Mississippi with each lock press and try it again.
