I installed the factory security system today. I went over all my connections and searched and searched Google and the forums.

With everything hooked up, I get the ABS light, AIRBAG light, passenger window won't work, drivers door won't lock or unlock with remote, car will not shift from Park.

When I arm the system the doors try to lock twice. The Scion Security light does nothing. I don't think I missed any harness connections, but my symptoms say that I did. Any suggestions where I should start looking? I've checked all my fuses.

This is for a 2006 Scion XB, and the security system specifies that it is the one for use with the steering wheel audio controls

I did replace the green/white wire from the white harness under the steering column with the one in the new harness.

Please help

Man Dennis, I wish I could but I do not have a security system for my box. I would definitely get it checked out by a professional because it sounds like you are having TONS of issues, good luck to ya!

 

Thanks man.
I unhooked most of the plugs on the drivers side so I could drive to work this morning. I know it sounds like I have a lot of separate problems but I'm looking for anything these problems have in common. Should I be looking at the security ECU? The security system is PnP but there was that one green/white wire under the steering column I had to switch out. I feel pretty confident that I did it right.

Suggestions?
Thanks
Dennis

 

yeah, still sounds too complicated for my non-existent ECU knowledge, definitely contact a professional if this thread stays dead.

 

I removed the whole wire harness today and brought it in to inspect it. I checked it out best I could. I tested all the "pass-throughs" for continuity and they were fine. My problems seem too random for it to be the security ecu, I think. Now that I've removed it everything in my car is working properly.

Anyone?
Dennis

 

Ok, I figured out how to check the diode in the harness and it was fine.

Anyone think of anything yet?

Thanks
Dennis

 

So, you're saying I should buy a Viper instead?

 

somebody help me!

 

dude i have the exact same problem i did the install and now i cant start the car and the abs light is on,if you get a way to fix it please let me know,thanks

 

do you guys both have the 06.5 with audio controls since the alarm is for the 06.5 specifically?

 

yes, I had steering wheel audio controls and the alarm was specifically for the one with said controls.

anyone ever figure this one out?

 

i have issues with the alarm too. i have a 6.5 with the audio controls-i installed the factory system myself and it SEEMED that went ok-> now my remote only works to arm the system-> when i use the remote to unlock/disarm the system the alarm just goes off-> i have to use the key to manually unlock/disarm system-> i did have that problem with air bag,traction control, etc etc lights staying but my car would still start-> what i forgot tot do was re-connect the passenger air bag and everything worked after i did that-> i don't think install instructions call for the removal of the passenger air bag but i had to because everything was so tight i couldn't fit my hands anywhere to install the harness

 

i still haven't figured out a solution for the remote to unlock/disarm without the friggin alarm going of-> any solutions?
