EVO-ALL Standalone grinding starter

Question

I've got an EVO-ALL installed on a 2007 Dodge RAM with the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine as a stand alone starter. Green/Red starter wire was not present on the ignition cylinder plug, so I followed connection #1 on guide #8141, the only thing I noticed was the 12v wire was Grey/Red in this vehicle instead of Green/Red as listed in the guide.

Options C1, D1, D1.3, and D2 were activated using the Flashlink module.

Everything seems to work fine, but when the vehicle starts, the start signal is held even after the engine has started (around 1-2 seconds too long), causing the starter motor to grind. It eventually stops grinding and the engine stays running, indicating that the module is detecting a tach signal and should know when to stop cranking (at least I assume so).

I've tried both firware versions 4.18 and the recommended 74.17, with the same results though with 74.17 the door locks were a bit erratic when remote starting (they would unlock, then immediately lock before starting). I've also tried disabling option D1.3 and D2, with the same grinding happening.

The service # on my EVO-ALL is 001A06-338389.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi George,

 

If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend calling tech support directly.

It does sound like it's not detecting tach properly and I would actually try putting the EVO in Hybrid mode instead of Diesel as a test.

The firmware 74.17 should be working fine. The door locks on vehicles with an alarm will unlock before and relock after start. That is how the factory alarm gets disarmed before remote starting.

I am having the same problem. Have you found a fix for this yet??

Please double check your Options settings and make sure you are in connection mode: bypass when you are setting the options in the EVO-ALL

 

By looking at your service number, I can see that your options are not all set up the way it's supposed to be. they are randomly jumbled as if the unit was flashed in connection mode: remote starter. You can see it here: /http://fortin.ca/en/support/001A06338389/
