3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!
Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle before
attempting this test.
a. Make sure the hood is closed and no other shutdown circuits are active.
b. Set the emergency brake.
c. Turn the ignition key to the run position but do not start the engine.
d. Put the vehicle in Drive (D).
e. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut-
down the remote start system.
f. Activate the remote start system.
If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down the system. If it does engage,
recheck the neutral safety input connection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch.
(See H3/1 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in
Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide
section of this guide.)
If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
Once the system passes the three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use the remote
start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety check tests.

Has the NPC system been triggered? If so, you will hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the igni-
tion key on and off to clear the NPCs memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of
NPC, see

section of this guide.

That's how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger,
remember, since even if the door is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.

Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has
been used. (See
