Evo-fort1 standalone 2007 edge no brake shutdown, vehicle start with door keypad

Question

Installed EVO-FORT1 /EVOALL standalone 3x lock into a 2007 Ford Edge. Install went well, when testing noticed that vehicle will not shut down with brake pedal pressed.  Verified gray and gray/black connections to obd connector wires, are exactly as shown in diagram, color and pin position.  Ended up setting it to shut down on door open as a temporary solution.  Also, not related, but noticed that it is possible to start vehicle now by pressing 7 and 9 buttons on drivers door keypad together 3x, fob not needed. Is there a way around this so random people cannot walk by and start the vehicle? I have noticed a few other questions on this forum asking about the brake pedal not shutting vehicle down when on standalone but do not have a onclusive answer as to how to resolve te issue.  Is there a way to make this work properly? Thanks, Mike.

Answer 1

sorry for lateness Michael.

I'm starting to wonder if brake status is simply not on the can-bus for the 2007-2008 models. There's a few GMs like that. Worst case, if ever you get another, get the vehicles brake wire, convert the (+) to a (-) with a relay, and connect it to the dark blue on the evo (hood input).

 

As for the door button presses. This is normal. They generate the same stuff on the can as the remotes. So the evo is going to detect it.

For the keypad you can program the module to start with Lock-Unlock-Lock

Answer 2

is the vehicle shutting down after you turn the key to the "ON" position then step on the brake?
