A: This usually means that the engine sensing mode is not working correctly. If you are using a coil,
change to an injector or try alternator mode.
The vehicle will lock and unlock, but will not remote start or flash the parking lights.
A: The system is in valet mode. Tap buttons (I) + (III) for 0.5 seconds while the key is in the on position.
Whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the siren 3 times and will not arm.
A: Check the hood and trunk trigger inputs.
When I turn the ignition on the parking lights flash 3 times and/or siren chirps 3 times. What is
the problem?
A: When you program only 1 Way remotes to a 2 Way antenna and no 2 Way remotes the control
module reminds you of this situation each time you turn the ignition on. It does not affect the operation of
the system but will continue to do so until you program both 2 and 1 Way remotes to the 2 Way antenna.
Do the door locks flip flop in polarity?
A: No. You can use the CompuPack (relay pack) for high current positive (+) locks, or the DM600
harness used for low current 600mA positive (+) locks.
What is this cartridge slot on the rear of the CM5000 and CM5200?
A: This is the slot for the Blade cartridge system by ADS. This slot is for the Idatalink Blade remote start
bypass modules. For more information on the compatibility and install information please visit
www.idatalink.com/fitguide. Using this system eliminates many connections between your standard
control module and bypass module. IMPORTANT: If you are not using the Blade then you will not have
or use the 20 pin connector next to the back up battery port.
