2012 G37x won't remote start unless factory fob is present in vehicle.

Question

G37 is automatic and push-to-start. I have installed the T-harness and programmed the Evo successfully multiple times. I tried different options with the Flash link updater as well.

While monitoring the Evo's LEDs, I can see the blue LED flash with each lock press. After the third press the red LED comes on for a second and the brake lights come on. Red LED flashes a few more times like it's trying to start but to no avail. It repeats this process for 2 or three times I think.

If I hit lock x3 while the key fob is in the vehicle, it starts right up.

I have double checked all my connections. Considering that it's a T-harness, this shouldn't be an issue.

Answer 1

What is the service number or S/N  to the module?

did you connect the purple/yellow to the lt.blue/black?

I did not see any instructions pertaining to those wires. I'm also not seeing a purple/yellow listed in the instructions.

I still don't see any reference to a purple/yellow wire.

This wire.

Thanks for clarification, I will try that out. 

Bigger issue though, why is it that when I select my vehicle out of the 4 guides available, none of them have that purple/yellow connection stated?

https://cdn02.fortin.ca/en/download/24031/24031.pdf This is the main guide I followed as it's options were for my setup, at least to my understanding. Even still, checking through the other guides did not have this information.

Not sure how you are going about selecting it. All i did was go to your car on our website and click the stand alone guide...

Yes, exactly what I did. Then I clicked on Troubleshooting Guides tab, and the guides available to me there were not the same as you pulled up. The guide you linked me specifies EX35.

---

You should be selecting the guide when you select the vehicle. Not the troubleshooting guides as they are not always update to date or vehicle specific.

---

Connected the purple/yellow to the lt.blue/black. Issue still persists, key fob needs to be in vehicle to remote start.

Please call tech support for furhter troubleshooting when you have the vehicle and module in hand.
