7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| System does not respond to remote. | Dead remote battery; remote out of range; system not receiving power. | Replace remote battery; move closer to vehicle; check main power and ground connections to the control module. |
| Alarm triggers randomly or frequently. | Shock sensor sensitivity too high; faulty door/hood/trunk pin switch; improper wiring. | Adjust shock sensor sensitivity; inspect and test all pin switches; verify wiring connections. |
| La bateria del vehicle es descarrega ràpidament. | Parasitic current draw from the alarm system due to improper wiring. | Ensure all power connections are made to constant +12V and ACC as per the diagram. Verify proper grounding. Professional inspection recommended. |
| Door locks do not operate correctly. | Incorrect door lock wiring type (positive, negative, reverse polarity); insufficient current for actuators. | Re-verify your vehicle's door lock wiring type and ensure the alarm system is configured or wired accordingly. Consider external relays if current is insufficient. |
| Siren is not loud enough or does not sound. | Siren connection issue; faulty siren. | Check siren wiring and connections. Test siren directly with 12V power. |
| Passive arming is undesirable. | System is programmed for passive arming. | Refer to the programming section (if available in the full manual) to disable passive arming, or consult a professional installer. |
| Alarm chirps three times after door opens/closes. | Door trigger input is active when it shouldn't be, or system is indicating a previous trigger. | Check door pin switch wiring. Ensure the door trigger input is correctly connected and not falsely activating. |
