2012 Taurus remote starts then shuts off after 5 seconds

Question

I used the T Harness for this installation in a 2012 Ford Taurus. I have tried both the two key method and the one key method (Currently configured for 1 key method). When doing the remote start (3x lock) the vehicle starts then after about 5 seconds shuts itself off. The vehicle then tries to restart and does the same thing. After the second attempt the red light on the unit flashes three times.

For the T Harness i have connected the light blue, light blue/black, and the yellow wire. I have also connected the CAN wires to the OBD port pins 3 and 11. I've tried a few suggestions for similar answers and still cannot get it to work.

Evo all in standalone is used.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Turn off option H2 and F2, turn on A4 and A6. After retry, no need to reprogram.

Hi Mathieu,

I just gave that a try and it still seems to shut off the engine after a few seconds. Are there any additional wires that i need to connect or more setting to change?

Thanks

Odd as it is, enabling 'Hybrid Mode' solved the issue.

I was having the same exact issue and enabled hybrid mode and it worked like a charm. Thanks for posting this information it was a lifesaver for me!
