2009 Honda Civic - Not locking after start

Question

Hi,

 

I purchased a Fortin Evo-One with the THAR-HON-A2 T-harness for my 2009 Honda Civic (automatic) with facory Alarm.

I went through the Options in the Fortin App and flashed it with the latest firmware.   I configured the option to LOCK the door after it remote starts.  I also configured the option to not stop the car when the door is opened.    The car starts up fine, but it does NOT lock the door after the remote start and it stops the engine when i open the door.   It seems to be ignoring all the options I have set.

It is not clear to me if I need to tap into the drivers door lock harness or not.  I was under the impression that the door locks would be controlled by the CANBUS and this hookup was no longer required with the newer firmware.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

 

Please provide the S/N number on the back of the module.

 

Also, did you connect lock and unlock?

 

Best regards.

I have NOT connected the lock and unlock wires as I was not sure if this was neccessary with the new firwmare.  Please confirm.

Thanks.

Yes, lock and unlock are required, test before connecting.

Thanks.

Is there a cheap tool you recommend for testing the wrires?   As i looked at the wires and either I can colour blind, but i had a hard time finding the gray wire (looks white to me).

Would a simple Automotive Test Light be sufficient ....one that cuts into the wires?

Yes, an automotive computer safe test light is fine for testing circuits.
