2012 Tundra - 3x Lock trips panic, keyless does not work after remote started

0 votes
I have had the Fortin Evo One remote starter installed for nearly three months, and it has worked flawlessly until yesterday. The 3X lock will now almost always (but not every time) cause the factory alarm to go off. It will also remote start the truck in the process, but will not allow me to use keyless to unlock/lock the vehicle. The running lights flicker when I press the unlock key on the fob, but nothing else happens. Two indicator lights, the Traction Control and ABS lights, turn on and remain on even after a successful/uneventful remote start. Any ideas?

Nothing has been done to the truck lately. I walked out of work yesterday and this started to happen. I haven't inspected the connections. I didn't install it. Where would I start?

Where do I find the service number?

So I went to look for the service number and check connections before I replied, and I had the same issue. However, I went inside the truck, put the key in the ignition and turned it. Then I turned it back, removed the key, and pressed the brake, turning off the truck. The unit now works normally.

Is this more of a software issue?
I would suggest if you were not the one who installed it, the next time the truck acts up to take it to the person/shop that installed it to have it diagnosed....
