When and where Fortin-SL2 V2 Blue wire connect to?

Question

Is this question answered by users only or also Site admin?

 

I just bought fortin passlock-sl2 v2 for my 2005 colorado.

per manual, i need to follow option #6.

BLUE wire - connect to remote starter while running.

1.  is that running with remote starter or running with a key?

2.  is this blue wire connect to remote starter STARTER wire or remote starter 30a output wire?

3. same as above, Where do i connect my remote starter STARTER WIRE(violet)?

4. is accessories wire required?

 

During programming, car won't start.

press prog button, plug, light comes on, release

turn ignition, light flashes, start/on(doesn't start)

light blink 4 time.

 

Answer 1

1- connect the blue wire to the remote starter groud while running input wire.

2-it is not connected to the remote starter wire be carful you do not want to fry the module, it connects to the remote starter wire (ground while running input), every remote starter brand is different you need to look at the diagram.

3- the remote starter wire (from the remoe starter) goes to the car side (most probably ignition harness) starter wire.

flashing 4 times means you follwed option 6.

You can mention the remote starter module and the model number as well, we might able to help you.

you didn't answer my question.

While running - is that running with a key or remote start(keyless)

I have bulldogsecurity deluxe 500.
i had it running with PLJX (bypass module) similar to this SL2 V2 much easier to program.

i mentioned 2005 Colorado, this generation of GM/CHEVY do not have starter wire. Such as Cobalt, ION, Hummer.

Answer 2

It goes to the remote starter. Since it only gets ground when the vehicle is remote started. 

 

The dark blue wire on the passlock sl2v2 is like the activation wire. It is a negative signal not a positive signal.  

On you remote starter you should have a wire designated "bypass activation" wire or a wire labeled "(-) when running". It would get connected to that. You will need to refer to your remote starters installation documents in order to determine which wire it is.

looks to me i need to use 7/1 wire.

H7/1 - (-)200mA Ign 3 Control Output. 

This wire provides 200mA negative ground out put that becomes active 4 seconds before remote start unit initializes, and remains grounded while running

H7/2 - (-)200mA programmable 

H7/3 - (-)200mA Horn

H7/4 - (-)200mA Dome

H7/5 - (-)200mA programmable

H7/6 - (-)200mA programmable

H7/7 - (-)200mA trunk

H7/8 - (-)200mA unlock door

H7/9 - (-)200mA Grounded output when disarmed

H7/10- (-)200mA Grounded output when armed

 

So again, it doens't matter when i connect the wires?

 

I'm still missing the remote start wire from remote starter, where does it hook up to?

---

There is no starter wire to be connected on that vehicle. It uses the vdata wire and the voltage difference between ign and acc to determine when to crank.

 

It does matter were you connect the gwr. It should be hooked up the gwr or bypass activation wire on the remote starter. If you are unsure of which wire that is, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer that produces the remote starter brain.

---

Yes i'm aware there is no starter wire from this vehicle and mentioned to the user previously trying to help me.

I got the gwr.  I'm just confused to where to hook the starter wire from remote starter.
I would think you would need it to remote start.

With a different bypass module(PLJX) it has wire for Remote Starter to connect it's starter wire to.

Assuming we are looking at Connection 6 from the Passlock SL2 guide: https://fortin.ca/download/24951/passlock-sl2v2_revl.pdf

 

The starter wire from your starter does not connect anywhere.

The vehicle will crank when accessory drops as long as the correct vData is present.

The Passlock SL2 knows when to give the proper value vData because of the Accessorie input on it.  Once it drops during the remote start crank cycle, it will shoot out whatever it needs.  
 

For the programming, if the car is not starting, verifiy that orange and orange black are not reversed.

---

Thanks for the clarification Rob!

I triple checked the orange/orange/black seems to be correct but i will have to switch it around see if that works.

---

So it comes down to my remote brain not working. No click when activate.

---

Some remote starters require that tach be programmed in order for it to even attempt to start. 
 

Other 3 reasons a starter would not activate:

1. starter is in Valet mode
2. Hood is open
3. Brake is detected

 

Best would be to contact the remote start manufacturer if all else fails as they would be best at knowing their remote starter.

so I dont think it was the bypass module from the beginning but i dont know what it is.

I have 3 remote starter.
1. working
2. Used to work
3. new

also have 3 bypass module
1. used to work PLJX
2. this fortin Sl2 new
3. XK06 - can't program

tried all the combo above.
1. RS not in valet mode, at least 1 or 2 above
2. Hood is not hooked up
3. Brake is connected.

When programmed, it blinks and flashes as it should.  When remote start, engine icon comes up no crank sound but some kind of sound in the engine bay.

I know for sure the RS works because:
1. if i start with the key and RS start and take off the key, it still run but not long.  It shuts off because of security not getting bypassed.

---

Keeping in mind there is only so much we can do to try and help as we are not in the car with you, at some point it may be a good option to visit a local shop.

 

My only other suggestion is to use Pin 4 of the OBD2 connector as a grounding point for the remote starter and the bypass module.

---

Thanks Robb, this is why i keep asking so i can try to eliminate reasons.

Are all RS module suppose to have 'Ground when running' wire?

at the moment, i'm try to work with this combo:

PKE Push button w/ remote start + fortin sl2 v2.

I don't think this module has that wire but i dont want to assume.  Sometime things made in China can translate to different meaning.

and oil sensor, i'm assuming that's for tach wire?

All name brand remote starters have a Ground While Running output since it is required to "activate" the bypass module it is connected. Problkem is, nobody names it the same thing.

Ground while running, while running, status output, bypass output .... some examples.  It provides a (-) output only when the remote starter is actived.

 

 

First remote starter i see with an oil signal input.

You will have to contact the manufacturer of the remote starter to answer the question of if they have a "ground while running"
