Open the driver’s door (the driver’s door must remain open throughout the entire process). 2. Depress and hold the vehicle’s brake pedal. 3. Turn the ignition to the “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, then back “on” and leave “on” throughout the programming process. (Four ignition key cycles ending in “on”, total duration from point of first ignition “on cycle must not exceed five (5) seconds) 4. The system will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the horn three (3) times, indicating that the system has entered transmitter learn mode. 5. Press and release the “ “ button on the transmitter you wish to program. 6. The system will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the horn one (1) time, indicating that the system has learned the transmitter. Upon successful programming, the remote start confirming transmitter button will flash one (1) time (within five (5) seconds). 7. Repeat step five (5) for any additional transmitters (the system will accept up to eight (8) transmitters). 8. The system will exit transmitter programming mode if the ignition key is turned to the OFF position, the door is closed or after two (2) minutes. 11 Remote Engine Start Diagnostic Mode The Forester remote engine start module is equipped with a diagnostic mode that will aid in troubleshooting abnormal failure to start or abnormal shut down conditions. The diagnostic mode saves the last abnormal failure to start or abnormal shut down in memory. Normal shut downs will not be included in the diagnostic table. Normal shutdowns include: 15-minute run time expiration, shut down or failure to start when the vehicle door is opened, shut down via RES transmitter and failure to start when the service mode is active. Accessing diagnostic mode (same as transmitter learn mode): 1. Open the driver’s door (the driver’s door must remain open throughout the entire process). 2. Depress and hold the vehicle’s brake pedal. 3. Turn the ignition to the “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, “on” then “off”, then back “on” and leave “on” throughout the programming process. (Four ignition key cycles ending in “on”, total duration from point of first ignition “on cycle must not exceed five (5) seconds) 4. The system will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the horn three (3) times, indicating that the system has entered transmitter learn mode. 5. Release the brake pedal and then immediately press and release the brake pedal again. 6. The system will flash the side marker lights, tail lights, front position lights and honk the horn a number of times corresponding with the table below. Horn Honks 12 Shutdown Condition Diagnosis No Honk Normal Operation Normal remote start operation. No abnormal shut downs have occurred since installation of the system. 1 Honk Hood Safety Switch Active Verify that hood is closed and latched. Check for damaged or mis-aligned hood switch/bracket. 2 Honks Brake Pedal Depressed Check for damaged or inop brake switch in vehicle or connection issue between BIU and brake pedal switch. This does not indicate failure of an RES component. 3 Honks RES Stop Request The vehicle's BIU sent a "stop request" to the RES module to indicate a vehicle related concern (DTC's, etc.). Vehicle condition must be corrected prior to restoring RES operation. This does not indicate failure of an RES component. Contact SOA for a listing of conditions and DTC's that would cause the BIU to transmit an "RES Stop Request" message. 4 Honks RPM Over-rev The RES module reads a CAN message to determine engine speed (> 3,500 RPM). Check vehicle systems to determine what would cause an abnormal high RPM. This does not indicate failure of an RES component. 5 Honks Missing CAN Messages The RES system detected missing CAN Bus messages from the BIU or TCU. Verify proper operation of both BIU and TCU. This does not indicate failure of an RES component. 6 Honks Shifter Not in Park This indicates that the shifter was not in park at time of RES activation or was moved out of park after RES activation. Verify operation of transmission/shifter switches. Verify operation of the BIU and TCU. This does not indicate failure of an RES component. 7 Honks CAN Error This fault indicates that the RES module recorded 24 or more CAN error messages. Clear any vehicle DTC's that are present and re-test. If DTC's continue to occur, remove the (2) 30 AMP fuses from the RES main harness. If DTC's return, there is an issue with another vehicle component. If DTC's do not return or return only when RES system is running the vehicle, replace the RES control module p/n H001SFJ010. Advanced Troubleshooting The RES system shuts down when any vehicle door (or rear gate on 5-door vehicles) is opened. - This is an additional safety feature and is normal operation. Note: The vehicle will continue to run if the trunk is opened on sedan vehicles. The vehicle starts by itself without pressing the transmitter button Two conditions could exist that would allow the vehicle to start without user interaction with the RES transmitter. 1. Another user’s transmitter accidently programmed to the system and in range of activation. 2. Damage (usually caused by severe drop/shock) to the RES transmitter that is allowing the button to stay engaged or damage causing a self transmit. 1. Another user’s transmitter accidently programmed to the system and in range of activation. To correct this situation, the unauthorized transmitter must be de-programmed from the system. All customer RES transmitters must be available. Following the transmitter programming instructions on page 11 of this guide, when you reach step 5, you will program each transmitter multiple times to fill all 8 memory slots. For example, if 2 transmitters are available, program each transmitter four (4) times. This will de-program any unauthorized transmitter. Does this solve the problem? NO 2. Damage (usually caused by severe drop/shock) to the RES transmitter that is allowing the button to stay engaged or damage causing a self transmit. If this issue is the cause of the vehicle starting on it’s own, a slight touch or rub of the button on the RES transmitter would cause it to activate. If this is the case, the recommended action is to replace the RES transmitter P/N H001SSG060. 13 Advanced Troubleshooting The SSMIII SDI screen displays “Registration Failure” when attempting to register the RES module to the vehicle. - Are the 8-pin and 12 pin connectors at the RES control module secure? -Are the ignitions switch T-connectors properly installed and secure? - Are the vehicle pre-arrangement connectors secure between the RES control module and pre-arrangement connectors?
