2015 Toyota Corolla H-Key Without Smart Key Remote Start will start but won't keep it on.

Question

Hi I have an Evo All updated to the lastest firmware as of today (12/11/2020) 79.65 I believe, with all preset options, meaning i did not turn on or off any feature on the Evo All through the FlashLink Manager. To pair with the Evo All I have an Encore E1.

 

My vehicle is a 2015 Toyota Corolla L H-KEY without smart key (no lock or unluck button on it)

Encore E1 Installation Manual.

So I have all the Evo All cables connected to the car which are

A20 to 30-pin connector position 16;

A18 to E3 White 40-pin connector position 34;

A10, C3, and C4 to OBD-II connector in its respective positions 7, 6, 14;

 

Also I have the Encore E1 connecting to the Evo All which are

10 Pin Encore E1 connector  ->  20 Pin Evo All connector

White/Red Tachometer  -> A12

White/Black Hood Pin -> A15

Black/White Brake Shutdown -> A11

White Ground when Runing bypass output -> A8

Pink Security Disarm Signal -> this is connected to Lt. Green wire in the Driver Kick white connector.

 

So its missing couple wires to be wireout such as:

 

Encore E1 10 pin connector

White/Blue Instant Start Input (+) -> which i have no idea what is the purpose of this wire and where to connect.

Gray Channel 3 Trunk Output -> i didnt do it because i dont have a eletronic trunk release, mine is manual pull up type.

Blue/Black ACC2 -> because my vehicle doesnt have a second ACC

Yellow Ignition 3 output -> again because the car doesnt have it.

 

So, to summarize, the vehicle locks and unlock just as it should through the Encore E1 4-Button remote control, however, the remote start function will turn on the car in the first try but it will only stay on for 5 seconds, then it shut itself off. After, it tries to start it again, and the cycle repeats 1 more time after that, totaling 3 tries. It starts but wont keep on after 5 seconds.

What am i doing wrong? what am i missing here?

I have no idea whats missing or why this is happening. If someone has an idea, please share with me. Thank you so much.

Answer 1

Ok, I got this working now.

What I was missing was to get the Encore E1 to learn the RPMs. Once I did it, it worked fine.

The procedure to get it to learn the RPMs on Encore E1 is:

- Put the key on ignition on and of 3 times, and leave on off on 3rd time.

- Press the Valet button 7 times, and hold it on 7th until you hear a long horn.

- After that on your 4 button key fob press the remote start button until you hear 2 short chirp from the horn. Once you hear it you're in RPM learning.

- next start the vehicle with your key. - then hold pressed the Valet button for 2 seconds. You will hear a long horn and the valet led will flash, confirming that the RPM has been learnt.

- then shut off the vehicle

And that's all to it.

The Encore E1 it's the only module from Encore Automotive Systems that don't have a complete manual and it's the cheapest remote start they have. Paired with a Evo All these two comes with tons of features. :)
