Events Logging and Playback
This feature will play back the last two Start Failure event codes via the Parking Lights.
Start Failure Codes via Parking Lights
1x = No Start (the Module cranked three times without detecting a Tach signal)
3x = Hardware Reset
4x = Brakes
5x = No Tach Cut-off
6x = Hood
7x = Engine Running, no Ignition detected
Note
The
x
stands for one Parking Lights flash.
Events Playback
•
Press the Hood Pin-switch 3 times (
down-up / down-up / down-up
).
•
The Parking Lights and L.E.D. will flash the 2 events stored in memory.
Note
There is a pause between the events.
The system will play back most recent event first and
then the older one. If there is no error code (no event),
the Parking Lights still give 1-long flash.
Resetting the Module
The PS-2925 system is equipped with a reset function that allows the installer to erase all Transmitter codes and return
all Programming Options to their factory default values.
To reset the module:
1.
Ensure the Ignition is
OFF
, that Valet Mode is disabled and that the Hood is up.
•
Hold the Hood Pin-switch down for 4 seconds
•
Release the Pin-switch.
The Parking Lights will come on.
•
With Parking Lights on, immediately push and release the Pin-switch again.
The Parking Lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2.
Press the Valet Button 6 times (
1. down-up / 2. down-up / 3…
)
.
3.
The Parking Lights will flash 8 times to confirm that the Module has been reset.
Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
In order to ensure optimal range, the antenna should be installed at least 7.5 cm (3 in.) from the roof – 2.5 cm (one
inch) below the tint strip is generally the best location. Install the antenna as far as possible from radio antennas, GPS,
OnStar or factory compasses.
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
•
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
•
The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular phone towers…)
•
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
•
The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range.
•
The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this case the signal
from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control
can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the
second best performance is from the back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually
give the lowest range.
•
The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
•
Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter against your chin will
also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
•
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
•
Windows and windshields tinted with lead or metallic tints will decrease the operating range.
•
The antenna cable may have been cut and/or is grounded out on the chassis. Try using another cable.
•
The receiver may be faulty. Try replacing it with another.
