2015 Mazda CX-5 will not remote start

0 votes
Wired and installed EVO ALL according to Guide 62951. I did not connect the park lights. All programming steps worked according to guide.

When I attempt to remote start by pushing lock 3X on the fob, the module will light up as follows.

The red LED will light up. 2 seconds after the red LED lights up the yellow LED lights up. They both stay on for 8 seonds and then both turn off.  The process repeats a second time about 4 seconds after both LEDs turn off.  After the second time nothing happens.  

The blue LED on the module does flash when I hit Lock/Unlock on the fob.

I have tried remote starting with the Dark Blue wire for the safety switch grounded and not grounded with no difference.

The module has hardware version 6 and firmware update is 71.39.  Options C1 and D1 are selected.

The wiring in the engine bay was not making a good connection. The module thought the hood was open. I fixed the wiring and it now remote starts.    Thanks.

To remote start all factory key must be out of the vehicle and all doors/hood/trunk must be closed.
