When remote started security light comes up when key is inserted and remains on till shut off and restarted with key.

Question

INT-SLPL was installed with remote starter in 2000 Olds Silhouette.  Everything works fine but when the car is remote started with remote the security light comes on when the key is inserted.  The car still runs but the customer would rather have the light off when he drives.  Thank you in advance.  Michael Pepper

Answer 1

Hi Michael,

What is the 12 digit service number written on the back of the unit?
Is there a "+" or "PK3" stamped on the shaft of the key?

Just to confirm some connections:

• 12V
• Ignition 1 - Pink
• Ignition 2 - White
• Accessory - Orange
• Starter - Yellow

Do not connect the second accessory which i believe may be brown.

You may also need to connect (-)Key-Sense:

• Light Green wire in the main ignition harness

Here is some more info on why the problem may occur:

1- Passlock light turns ON after takeover
Must cut PK3 power and connect through Yellow and Yellow/black of the INT-SL+.

Connection 3 of this installation guide has the proper orientation of the connections. It's important the Yellow and Yellow/Black are not reversed: INT-SL+ Installation Guide - Revision 20120308

 

2- Key light turns ON after remote start when inserting key
Must ground or power the Keysense wire of the vehicle with a GWR signal. Diode isolate the connection so that the INT-SL does not receive a ground whenever you insert the key.
