KR-RS-F150M / KR-RS-F150MS – Installation Guide
Remote Start Install For 2021-2023 Ford F150 Trucks:
Vehicle Requirements & Tips:
- Factory hood switch: From all 2021-2023 Ford service guides and vehicles we’ve seen, the hood switch is standard equipment on all trucks.
– To check if you have a factory hood switch, turn the ignition on & pop your hood.
– If the dash message center says “hood ajar”, you have a hood switch.
– If it does not, you will need to purchase one from your Ford dealer (Ford P/N: ML3Z-16700-E) <<< CLICK TO SEARCH GOOGLE.
Troubleshooting & Tips:
The system is installed but will not remote start. . .
After trying to start I get several hazard flashes . . .
There are several vehicle conditions that will prevent remote start. When an error condition exists, the hazards will flash 3 times, pause, then flash the error code. NOTE: since the hazards use fixed timing for flashes, there made be longer delay between some flashes than others. Count the total number of flashes. If more than 3 seconds passes, the flashes are done.
Error code chart:
Code (# of flashes) | Error Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
1 | Engine is already running or too many start attempts. | Turn off engine, remove key. If engine is off, start the engine normally, place the transmission in drive, then park again. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and try to remote start again. |
3 | Door is open | Close all doors, hood, trunk/tailgate and try again. |
4 | Trunk is open | Close all doors, hood, trunk/tailgate and try again. |
6 | Hood is open | Close all doors, hood, trunk/tailgate and try again. |
10 | System is in valet mode. | Turn ignition ON>OFF 5 times within 7 seconds to enter or exit valet mode. |
15 | Overheat protection | Allow vehicle to return to normal temp. |
After trying to start I get no hazard flashes (nothing happens). . .
- Make sure the module is programmed to the vehicle and you received all LED light confirmations exactly as described in the install guide.
- The start command must be performed within 5 seconds.
- Example: LOCK, LOCK, LOCK will lock once without a horn honk and the 2nd, 3rd lock press will each give a honk. Be sure all 3 happen within 5 seconds.
- CHECK THE START COMMAND SETTING- The start activation method may not be set as expected or was inadvertently changed. See the “Options Programming Guide” above to see all settings and confirm that the method is set for the desired setting.
