2011 Mazda2 power lock will not work..power unlock works fine - D2D connection.

Question

Remote starter : Viper875XV

Bypass: Fortin EVO-ALL

Connection: D2D (Both Evo-ALL and Viper set to D2D)

EVO-ALL flashed to recommended Firmware.  EVO-ALL programmed fine (both CAN data and Transponder) - used 2 keys.

The issue I was having was that the EVO-ALL will not lock the car.  When using the remote starter fob to lock the car,  the car actually unlocks.  Unlock command works fine.  The car has a multiplex lock/unlock wire.  Lock requires 1000ohm resistor, unlock requires straight ground. As per manual/guide, the green/red wire of EVO-ALL is connected to the specified wire in the car (dark green wire in gray connector - Factory alarm arm/disarm wire of the vehicle) It seems like the EVO-ALL is not supplying the 1000ohm resistance.  I also tried turning off the D2D of Evo-ALL and hardwired (W2W) the connection between the remote starter and evo-all but it was still doing the same thing.

I ended up wiring the remote starter power lock/unlock directly to the car using the correct resistor and everything works fine. Everything else was set to d2d but with the analog green/red wire disconnected - hope it is fine combining d2d and w2w. 

I was just wondering if this is a known issue and if it is, what the solition is.  If it is new, what could have been the problem? This will be just  an FYI for future installs as this particular car is gone.

 

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for contacting us with your information.

Yes, we are aware of this issue with the lock features not working properly by the EvoAll. Currently we are working towards resolving this issue and when there is a fix, you will be notified. For now, when we do encounter this issue, we do advise our clients to hardwire the door locks directly  from the remote starter to the vehicle, just as you did.

Door locks are also not working from EVO-ONE on my 2010 mazda3 - will hook up the lock/unlock wires manually.
