Remote starter, 5 volt on wire starter cranck
Hello,
I have a 1999 accord sedan ex-V6 automatic.
I am an electrical engineer and have installed remote starters before.
I installed a remote starter my self and when it did not work I started investigating my wiring.
The remote starter starts the car fine. It is when I shift to any gear beside park and neutral.
I have a relay that is hooked up to the wire of the starter crank that is coming from the key switch. that wire has 12 volt when I turn the key all the way to start the car. and 0 volt when it is off.
when the car is running, even without the remote starter, I have 5volt on the starter crank wire when I shift from park to reverse. it is on all gears except neutral and park.
I have the relay installed to cutoff and reset systems that are hooked upto the ignition 2 wire.
The relay that I hooked up was drawing 150mA when the 5 volt appeared and was confusing the transmission control module.
The solution would be to relocate it to after the starter solenoid so it will only see 12 volt when I start and disconnect when it is not crancking anymore.
What my question is if anyone have seeing 5volt on the cranck wire in front of the starter solenoid before?
Thanks in advanced.
