Answer 1

A few things to note on this installation.

 

It acts the same way as the OEM starter.

So you cannot have a low fuel light on.

No check engine or abs light on.

The hood must be closed.

Hi , confirming all of above mentioned is ok, Confirmed with forscan and no DTC's are displayed.

Have i maybe missed a connection ? t harnes is plugged up, black and white connectors from t - harness plugged into the module. Do i need to connect anything from the 20 pin connector to car.

Still three reds blinks at the end of the cycle, is it maybe no tach as stated in the install guide. Thanks

No other connections should be required aisde from connecting the t-harness.

 

Can you please go into the cluster under the remote starter settings and verify that a run time has been selected.

---

CONFIRMING RUN TIME SET IS 15 MIN. REMOVED AND RESET REMOTE START OPTION WITH FORSCAN IN IPC AND FCIM MODULES BUT STILL NO START

---

Since you have a forescan...Is the remote start feature and all options associated with it turned on when you check in the sjb/bcm?

---

ONLY REMOTE START SETTINGS THAT CAN BE ENABLED OR DISABLED ARE IN THE IPC AND FCIM MODULES. NO REMOTE SETTING ARE AVAILABLE IN BCM. TRIED TO DIRECT  CHANGE THE ASBUILT VALUES TO AREA 726-22-02 FROM A O TO A 1 AS PER THE FORD FUSION SPREED SHEET BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CHANGE. NOT SURE WHAT SDJ STANDS FOR

ADDITIONLLY THE THE EVO MODULE WILL ONLY CYCLE IF SET TO LOCK UNLOCK LOCK, LOCK LOCK LOCK DOES NOT INITIATE ANY ACTIVITY WHEN TRIED. ANY FURTHER FEED BACK WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL INVESTIGATE IF ANY BUILD VARIANTS IN MY COUNTRY HAD FACTORY REMOTE START SO THAT I CAN COMPARE ASBUILT WITHIN THE BCM

Perform a master reset on the evo: https://fortin.ca/en/download/61931/61931.pdf

 

Using your forescan, return all vehicle paramters back to their factory default settings.

 

Re enable the options inside the evo for stand alone.

 

Re program the evo to the vehicle and re test.

---

STILL NO SUCCESS UPON FOLLWING YOUR RECOMENDATIONS, I RESET ALL MODULES TO ORGINAL ASBUILT CONFIGIRATION WITH FORSCAN AND RESET THE EVO AS RECOMMENDED

EVO WILL STILL ONLY CYCLES WHEN SET FOR LOCK UNLOCK LOCK ONLY WHICH IS FINE .BUT LED SEQUENCE CLICK HAS NOT CHANGED.

DOES THE THREE RED BLINKS AT THE END OF THE CYCLE  SIGNIFY A CERTAIN CONDITION OR FUALT ?

COULD THE FACTORY ALARM BE INTERFERING ?

COULD THE KEYLESS ENTRY TOUCH HANDLE SYSTEM BE INTERFERING ?

ONLY OTHER VARIABLE IS SYNC 3 TO SYNC 3,4 UPGRADE

ANY OTHER RECCOMENDATIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

THANKS

3 red led flashes indicates no tach signal, which of course it did not get since the vehicle is not even cranking.

 

The evo is attempting to start the vehicle with the light sequence you have described but something in the vehicle be it physical or software based is preventing it from doing so.

 

At this time I would suggest you call into technical support when you have the evo and vehicle on hand to continue troubleshooting.

Hi Chris,

 

We spoke on the phone not to long ago.

 

If you still have the vehicle could you please flash firmware 4.03 into the evo, re program it and try the remote start again.

 

Best Regards.

---

UNABLE TO CHANGE TO FIRMWARE VERSION 4.03 RECEIVING MESSAGE - DEVICE FLASH LIMIT REACHED. SN 001A07 331144

---

I have reset the flash limit for you. Should be good to go now.

---

HI,

CHANGED FIRMWARE AND RE PROGRAMED AS RECOMMENDED, UNFORNATELY STILL NO START BUT A CHANGE IN THE LED FROM RED - ORANDE AND 7 BLUE FAST BLINKS AND THE SEQUENCE REPEATS ITSELF ONE MORE TIME.BEFORE THE FINAL 3 RED BLINKS

DOES THE 7 BLINKS SIGNIFY ANY THING OF IMPORTANCE

ANY OTHER IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED

REGARDS

CHRIS
