When does EVO-NIST1 shut off the engine?

+1 vote
I installed EVO-NIST1 kit to my Altima 2010 few days back, car starts fine with 3x lock using oem remote, however, i cannot understand when does it decide to shut the engine off. First few times it started fine and didnt shut off, last two times the following happened:

Yesterday i unlocked the doors using the door handle buttons while key is in my pocket, opened back doors to get the kids in, then the engine was shut off.

today i remote started, unlocked the driver door using door handle button and got in, key in my hand, put the key inside the door pocket, put gear lever to D, engine shut off.

when i've done the installation, i did the following:

 

- spliced push to start brown wire / Evo white/black wire

- installed all T harnesses as instructed

- programming as instructed

- didnt connect any other wire

 

Please Help,

thanks

What is the service number to the module?

Instead of using the proximity feature if you physically press unlock on the OEM remote does the car continue to run when doing take over?

Absolutly possible, a connection that shorts out can cause issues. Test it and let me know.
How about the service number? Is it fine?
The firmware is correct for your vehicle, I cannot see the options as they were enabled offline.
So after few days of usage, the car still shut down sometimes, i noticed the following though:

 

- if key is in my pocket, engine doesnt shut off

- if i put key on passenger seat or diver door pocket, engine is shut off

 

is it that the key needs to be very close to the Evo? I am not even sure of the above, but it happened thrice and it was as mentioned above

The Evo needs to detect that the vehicle is unlocked by either:

1 The Oem remote (pressing unlock)

2. Aftermarket RF kit remote (remotestarter or RF kit)

3. Or by proximitiy remote (on supported vehicles only, by pressing on the button on the door handle)

If by any chance the Evo does not detect an unlock properly as described above then it will shut down the vehicle.
