Evo-All and Viper remote start Not working -2016 Toyota Rav4 - Evo-All Solid Red light

0 votes
I finally had time this evening to install the remote starter but i believe the bypass is faulty.  I used the instruction provided in fortin website using the code(as usual).  I connected as is exactly as in the diagram..
- Hardwired wires from evo-all to Viper 5305 module as per dotted lines in the diagram....no more, no less.  
- Cut red and black wire of Datalink cable,  then connected Red to 12v and black to ground.  
- From Evo-all Connected Yellow(Ignition), Lt Blue/black(IMMO Data, Green/red(driver hoodpin and Lt Blue(Door lock data) as per diagram.
- Programmed the Evo-all as per instruction(it seems it worked according to Flash pattern in the diagram instruction.
-  I pressed lock/arm in Viper remote,  transponder and viper module communicates no problem which i can see on the viper's  antenna LED and siren chirps as it should.  even unlock button works as well between transponder and Viper module.
 
 
Now the problem........
- nothing happens to OEM arm/disarm when lock/unlock is pressed on the transponder.
- nothing happens to Door's lock/unlock  when lock/unlock is pressed on the transponder.
- no crank when remote start is pressed.  But transponder shows it did send the signal.
- when Viper is armed,  I can open any of the doors and alarm won't sound nor security system work.
- i know Viper is Working fine because when it's armed and start the engine using Key,  it didn't crank and alarm sounded...loud.
-  also,  no parking lights flashing or turning on.  But if i connect the Parking light from Viper to car instead of through evo-all,  then parking lights works.
 
After couple of hours trying all the tests  I know the module is not sending any info to either Car or Viper module.  I did a little more test by arming OEM security using car's FOB,  armed Viper by pressing lock,  then tried to remote start and voila,  it would crank but won't continue because the evo-all bypass seems not bypassing.  I reset/re-programmed  the module then suddenly all i got is solid Red bottom light.  It stays Red even after unplugging every wires then re-plugging it the datalink by itself.  It won't re-set anymore.

For lenghty complex issue such as this it is best to call tech support whn you are in the vehicle with the modules and testing equipment.

Hi Derek,

 

Thanks for your input.  I actually fixed the issue......it was the module.  I hardwired but it was programmed for D2D.  Haven't seen the options as i have not flashed firmware yet.  But i was told that the module was set for D2D. But i don't understand why it went to solid red light after trying to reset.  But anyways,  i replaced the module and everything worked...this time D2D  as i didn't wan to repeat the work of soldering.

 

thanks
