2012 Taurus remote starts then shuts off after 5 seconds

0 votes
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?

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!
