A wrench is lit on the Starline key fob: what does it mean and how to remove the icon on the A93

Under standard conditions, the complex performs a lot of security functions. But if you need to transport the car to a service station to perform repair work or check the electrical circuit, the Starline A91 alarm system has a special service mode. If the corresponding icon lights up on the display, this indicates that the alarm is now in service mode. If this mode is enabled, the angle/tilt sensor is deactivated, and it is also impossible to activate a number of functions:

arming or disarming;
switch to programming mode;
activation of the “hands-free” mode;
closing the doors, hood and trunk via a command to the central locking;
activation of the “Panic” and “Anti-robbery” mode;
automatic arming;
calibration of the central unit of the system;
remote start from the remote control or execution of autorun parameters;
linking new key fobs to the system;
change of individual code.

When activated, a key icon appears on the display, which is either constantly lit or blinks periodically.

What to do to make the wrench light up on Starline

When the service mode is set, repair or maintenance work can be carried out, so you need to know how to connect this option. On the Starline A92 model alarm, this is done in several ways, but you must always first disable the security mode in order to quickly transition to this state.

The first way is through a key fob. To do this, press button two and hold it for four seconds. After this, the key fob will emit one melodic signal, and a nut icon will appear on the display.

The second method is cursor. The owner uses short presses to move the cursor to the icon with the key symbol, and then briefly presses the third button. Now the corresponding icon lights up on the display, and some of the security functions are deactivated.

If you have a GSM module and a SIM card with a positive balance, you can turn it on via your phone. Using a special service application from Starline, you just need to visit your personal account and activate the transition to service mode.

In addition, the owner can activate it via voice command. You need to make a call to the system number and say the corresponding code “51”. The option can be activated via SMS. In this case, a similar code must be written in the SMS.

How to remove a wrench on a Starline alarm

If all maintenance work has been carried out, then it is necessary to transfer the system to the standard state by disabling the service mode. On the Starline A93 alarm system, to do this, you need to press the second button for a long time (for four seconds). After this, the remote control plays a melodic signal, and the car blinks its headlights twice, indicating that the mode has been successfully turned off.

For this type of system, a convenient mobile application is available, controlled directly from a smartphone. When installing it, you can activate these options remotely. This functionality is also available from your personal account on the official website. Additionally, you can deactivate the mode via a phone call with voice command 50 or via SMS with similar numbers in the content. In order for such commands to work, the system must have a special GSM module, as well as a SIM card with a positive balance.

What to do if the wrench is on and the StarLine alarm does not turn on

In some cases, the standard scheme for removing from the service state may not work. This means you need to check the following places:

power element. A weak battery may prevent correct signal transmission. Therefore, you need to check this particular part first;
battery. The reason for the incorrect operation of the Starline A39 alarm system may be a dead battery;
If the battery in the remote control runs out before the service mode is deactivated, and after replacement the icon is inactive, this does not mean that the mode itself is disabled.

For completely correct operation of the system, you need to re-activate and then deactivate the mode. An alternative way out is to exit this mode by using a spare key fob (here the exit is carried out only by pressing the keys, since there is no LCD display).

central control unit. Its failure may lead to incorrect response to commands from the remote control. Therefore, it is important to check its functionality and serviceability. These works are best carried out by a specialized service;
Incorrect connection of the positive yellow wire, which should go to the ACC ignition switch. Without constant contact, the turbo timer, autostart functions will not work, and the transition to and from the service position will not be carried out correctly.

Basic functions of the Starline alarm key fob buttons

Let's look at the functionality of the control key fob using the example of the popular car alarm StarLine A63/A93. There are a total of 4 keys on the key fob, they are conventionally numbered from left to right (if you hold the key fob with the display facing your face).

First button of the Starline key fob:

Short press - activation of the security mode (setting the alarm);
Double short press - turns on the shock sensor of the first zone (front of the car), pressing again switches to the second zone (rear of the car).

Short press - disarm;
Pressing button 2 for 3 seconds switches to the cursor function selection mode.

Short press - request about the current state of the car (the battery charge and temperature inside the cabin are displayed on the remote control monitor);
Pressing twice quickly turns on the tilt sensor;
Pressing the third button and holding for 2 seconds + short - adjusts the sensitivity of the shock sensor of the first zone. When you press this combination again, we enter the second zone of the shock sensor, in which you can also adjust the sensitivity (with buttons 2 and 3).

Double short press - search for a car, at the same time the engine temperature is displayed;
Pressing button 4 for 5 seconds goes to the key fob programming menu (setting the time, alarm clock, adjusting the volume of the key fob beeps, etc.).

Basic key combinations:

Long press of the first button + short press of the second - setting to silent security mode;
Simultaneously pressing the first and third keys on the remote control turns on the “anti-robbery” mode;
A short simultaneous press of the second and fourth keys will block all key fob buttons (you can unlock the lock by pressing the 1st and 4th buttons).

Volume settings

To adjust the volume mode of the controllers, the driver must know the location of the Valet service key. The setup procedure is carried out through the main pager, which must have a feedback function. When the ignition is turned off, the service mode key is pressed five times, then the ignition is activated. The car siren will emit five beeps. Press key number 2 on the remote control. The message SO UN will appear on the pager display, this indicates that the security system has been switched to volume control mode.

To configure the parameter, press and hold key number 3 in this position for several seconds, then press the button on the left.
The pager display will display a number that corresponds to the volume level. To make adjustments, press the third key once. To increase the volume level, you should go through all the modes in a circle and select the required value.

To deactivate the adjustment function, turn off the ignition.

Anton Megavolt spoke about adjusting the controllers, as well as setting the siren volume in the Starline security complex.

What to do if the brake on the key fob is on and the car does not start with the key

Alarm Starline A61 setting the time on the key fob
There are times when the car refuses to start when autostarting, and the key fob shows the inscription “Brake”. This means that the car believes that it has not applied the brake (handbrake) and for safety does not start the engine. Accordingly, to do this, you need to check whether the handbrake is tightened or whether the pedal is pressed (depending on the type of connection).

The Starline A96 alarm system has many different operating modes. But, most often, owners have problems with the service mode.

Not everyone understands why it is needed and when it should be used. Let's look at the example of the official instructions.

Possible problems and their solutions

Users of Starline A91 security systems and other modifications sometimes have problems - the system does not exit the service mode. People often do not read the operating instructions carefully and perform actions in the wrong sequence.

First you need to enter the cursor control mode, and only then turn the option on or off. Be sure to wait for the correct sound alarm to appear after each action. It is also necessary to be near the car to ensure reliable reception of the tag signal; If you do everything according to the instructions, the system will exit this mode.

Setting the duration of starter cranking

How to set the time on a Starline key fob?

It happens that the car does not start in cold conditions if the starter operates for about a second (Starline A91 factory settings). In this case, you can extend its operating time. The instructions are as follows:

with the ignition off, you must press the Valet service button six times to enter the programming mode;
after turning the key (On), the car's lights will blink six times. Then you need to press the Valet key nine more times;
pressing any button on the key fob determines the starter rotation speed (first – 0.8 seconds, second – 1.4 seconds, third – 2.0 seconds). Long plus short click of the first button – 3.6 seconds.

To prevent the starter from turning when the engine is running, you need to connect the gray and red wire to the tachometer panel for automatic stop.

How to set the key fob to turn off

In order to avoid accidental clicks in your pocket and activation of unnecessary functions, there is an option to turn off or block the Starline A91 key fob. To do this, press the first and third buttons simultaneously. Unlocking occurs when the second and third keys are pressed simultaneously.

Reset

If various problems or car alarm glitches occur, it is recommended to reset the settings to factory settings. To remove them, you must perform the following procedure:

the ignition key is inserted into the lock and turned to the On position;
after this, press the Valet service key 10 times;
Now you need to turn the key to the Off position. The machine will blink its dimensions ten times and also emit ten beeps, confirming a successful transition to the user settings reset mode;
press the Valet button again, and the car beeps again;
The first button on the key fob is now pressed. A short melody will confirm that the operation was successful and all parameters are returned to factory settings;
To complete the procedure, you need to turn the key to the On position. The second way is to not press anything for ten seconds. The car itself will indicate that the exit has been completed by blinking its dimensions. The keychain will play a short melody.

How to set up the key fob after replacing the battery

press and hold button three until the third beep. The clock on the display now flashes.
using the first and second keys we increase or decrease this indicator;
The next click on the third key takes you to setting the minutes. It is carried out in a similar way (keys one and two);
Next comes setting the alarm clock, as well as setting the time on the timer;
To confirm the parameters, just do not click anything for several seconds.

Next, you should restore the remaining parameters set by the user.

How to configure?

Let's look at an example of setting up a Starline B9 key fob with feedback:

Disable the protection mode; the ignition must first be deactivated.
Find the key to activate the protective mode and press it seven times.
Install the key in the lock and activate the ignition. The siren should emit seven beeps, this indicates that the complex has successfully entered the pager binding mode.
Then buttons on pager 2 and 3 are clicked simultaneously. They must be held until the complex confirms that the setup procedure has been successfully completed. The siren signal should sound 1 time.
Point number 4 is repeated for each programmable pager. Please note that the interval between setting up the next remote control should be no more than five seconds. When you subsequently configure the pager, the complex should emit the appropriate number of pulses. For the second remote control - two sounds, for the third - three, etc.
Turn off the ignition in the car. When the service mode is turned off, the turning lights will blink five times.

You can learn about controlling the security complex using the pager keys from the video from the REALAUTO channel.

The procedure for setting up a personal code is as follows:

Go to the options configuration menu and select one of the methods for using a password for service shutdown. The icon with the phrase PIN CODE will light up on the pager display.
Go to the password settings menu. The ignition in the car must be turned off, the emergency mode button is clicked four times. Each time you press the device's LED indicator will blink.
Activate the ignition by turning the key in the lock. The siren will emit four beeps.
The service mode call key is clicked 1 more time. When the siren makes one beep, this indicates that the security system is ready to enter the first digit of the password. Within five seconds, the first digit of the password is indicated using the pager keys. Please note that to assign numbers 1, 2 and 3 to the password, click the corresponding pager buttons - first, second or third. With each click, the siren will emit several beeps. Number 4 of the code is entered by double pressing button 1 - first a long click, and then a short one. To assign the fifth digit of the code, similar actions are performed with the second key, and for the sixth - with the third button.
To exit the password assignment menu, turn off the ignition in the car. If you do not perform any actions with the pager, the function will turn off automatically. After deactivation, the turning lights will blink five times.

OC7 error

Many people have to deal with this StarLine error when running autorun. This indication means that the alarm has exhausted all attempts to start the engine, but it still does not start. In fact, the “cipher” OS7 (or, as it sometimes seems, 007) is an attempt to show the inscription “STOP” on a segment screen. There can be many reasons for an error to occur.

Firstly, the engine operation detection itself may not work correctly. In this case, Starline, having completed preparations for the start and cranked the engine with the starter, will start it, but without detecting the fact of starting, it will automatically turn off the ignition. Depending on how the alarm is configured, this is due to:

Control via CAN. The module itself does not work correctly (reflashing is required) - the alarm cannot read the engine speed from the bus.
Control by tacho signal: the alarm either does not receive pulses, or at idle their amplitude or duration is insufficient for the alarm to “see” the revolutions. This problem occurs if the analog tacho input is connected to the motor injector. Often at idle, the injection duration is so short that the alarm is unable to register individual pulses. At the same time, as soon as you slightly increase the speed, engine recognition works correctly. In this case, it is worth reconnecting the tachometer input of the alarm to the control wire of the ignition coils, or changing the method of controlling revolutions in the alarm settings.
Monitoring the operation of the generator (the input is connected to the control lamp) - if the relay-regulator is faulty, the alarm does not recognize the engine starting.
Voltage control. Insufficient voltage at the generator output when idling, or problems with the alarm connection. For example, if its power is connected through poor-quality twisting, then the voltage drop across it will be noticeable, and when the motor starts, the alarm will not register an increase in the supply voltage above the threshold at which the motor is considered running.

If you do not know how the engine control is configured, check it in the autorun settings menu. We have already written earlier how to enter the menu using the StarLine A93 as an example; for other alarms, check the instructions.

Secondly, autostart may not work due to problems with the standard immobilizer bypass. If you use a modern car alarm with a keyless bypass, you should contact certified installers. In older models that use a regular crawler, check its operation yourself:

Remove the crawler without disconnecting the connectors from it.
Remove the key or immobilizer chip from the crawler if the chip was removed from the key when installing the alarm.
Follow the standard procedure for preparing for auto start, open and close the driver's door, and arm the car.
By placing the removed key or chip on the ignition lock cylinder, give the command to autostart. If the engine does not start, then the standard immobilizer does not recognize this key, contact a diagnostician.

SP or 5P error

Video: “sp” starline error with autorun

Many people have also encountered this error. But, if OC7 indicates problems when operating Starline, then for the SP indication to appear (from the English Start Procedure, some read it as “5P”) when trying to autostart, it is enough not to perform the “software neutral” procedure correctly. This error indicates that preparation for autorun was not carried out correctly.

If you do everything correctly, then check: 1. The functionality of the driver’s door switch (the alarm “did not see” that the door was opened and closed before arming). 2. The operability of the handbrake limit switch (if it has oxidized, the signal to raise the handbrake will be interrupted).

Similarly, the SP error will also occur when, after arming the car, you disarm it or open the trunk with the alarm. In this case, the “software neutral” procedure will be canceled, and subsequent autostart attempts will become impossible. Perform program neutral again.

Handicraftsmen and reset

Some people manage to reset this indicator temporarily in this way

Pull the ignition key out of the lock;
Press the odometer button for 5.0 seconds;
Without releasing the button, insert the key and place it in the extreme right position (to start). The panel should all light up with LEDs;
At that second when the entire panel lights up, release the odometer button and then repeat pressing and releasing five times with a minimum interval. Key for several thousand km. mileage will go out. But will this save you?!

Many people do not recommend this method, since there is a high probability that you will be 1000 km away. If you forget about the signal on the side of the car, you will cause even more damage, and sometimes even irreparable.

How to reset?

If the Starline security complex did not save the changes during setup, then you need to reset the configuration to the factory one and adjust the parameter again.

The procedure for resetting the configuration to factory default is as follows:

The ignition in the car is turned off; there is no need to remove the key from the lock.
The service mode entry key is pressed 9 or 10 times. The number of clicks depends on the specific model; check this point in the instruction manual.
The ignition is activated by turning the key in the lock.
The security system will emit a certain number of sound signals, depending on the number of clicks on the service key.
The button to call the service mode is pressed again, now the car owner needs to wait for a response signal from the system.
The first button of the pager is pressed, the key fob should emit a sound signal, after which the function of resetting all settings is confirmed.
To leave the menu, activate the ignition. If the procedure was carried out correctly, the car’s turning lights will blink five times. Then you can re-program all modes.

What is service mode

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more". In fact, this mode is debugging

During operation it is practically not used, but when repairing a car it may be needed. Sometimes it is also commonly referred to as the maintenance mode, implying that it allows you to effectively perform maintenance on the security system and the vehicle.

In fact, this mode is debugging. During operation it is practically not used, but when repairing a car it may be needed. Sometimes it is also commonly called the maintenance mode, implying that it allows you to effectively carry out maintenance of the security system and the car.

Setting up shock sensors

Attention! This method is suitable for the most common starline alarm models A63, A93, A64, A94, B64, B94, D64, D94, E60, E90, E61, E91.

The “Starline” service mode, also called “Valet”, is designed to disable the security functions of the alarm system during vehicle maintenance or repair at a service station.

What to do if the Starline A93 key fob blocks the fuel pump

When connecting the alarm, an additional relay is installed, which is responsible for blocking the fuel pump. It is this that can fail - the engine may not start at all or start for a few seconds and stall. If such malfunctions occur, it is necessary to check the corresponding relay for proper contact.

It is also advisable to check the serviceability of the immobilizer bypass, which may be the cause of the malfunction. The likely problem is a broken or inconsistent connection of the wires. In this case, you will need to check the cable for the relay contact and the fuel pump using a light bulb (12 Volts). The tester will not help here, because it will not show the presence of a bad contact. Often the problem arises from the fuel module plug, which must provide reliable contact.

Errors when reading the temperature sensor

When trying to check the engine temperature from the key fob, an HI error (read as “n1”) may appear. This indicates that the sensor is faulty and Starline considers the temperature too high (from English HIGH). Since the engine temperature sensor is a thermistor, the resistance of which is proportional to temperature, then most likely this resistance has increased due to oxidation of the twists or has become infinite (broken wires). The sensor itself breaks down much less often.

Similarly, the LO (LoC) error is associated with the temperature sensor. It indicates that the temperature is too low - that is, physically low resistance at the input of the temperature sensor (short circuit in the wires).

On older StarLine models (for example, A91), the engine temperature sensor was connected parallel to the hood limit switch. Often, installers saved time by not extending an additional wire from the sensor to the central alarm unit, but by connecting it to the limit switch wire directly under the hood. This leads to incorrect temperature recognition: the sensor must be connected as close as possible to the central unit connector. Water at the very end of the hood also creates problems (condensation, consequences of car washing). Subsequently, engineers abandoned the joint connection of the sensor with the limit switch, and this problem disappeared.

What to do if the car does not disarm the alarm system?

The Russian manufacturer of security systems Starline has provided several ways to disable the anti-theft system without interacting with the key fob. The system is deactivated using the emergency key or using a specialized access code.

Deactivating the alarm using the valet button

The “Valet” service button helps disarm the car from the alarm system if the key fob does not work and the driver does not know the service password. The key is most often located in the following places:

under the steering wheel;
behind the glove compartment;
behind the radio;
under the control panel;
near the pedals;
in the design of safety elements.

Algorithm for deactivating the anti-theft system using the “Valet” button:

Activate the alarm by opening the car door lock.
Set the ignition key to ACC mode.
Find the “Jack” button and click on it three or four times.
Remove the key from the ignition.

If everything is done correctly, the alarm will turn off and stop sounding alarms.

Deactivating an alarm using a code

The anti-theft system can be deactivated if the key fob is faulty using the service password. The initial code is set by the manufacturer - the security system is assigned the numbers 11.

Algorithm for disabling the Starline alarm using the service code:

Activate the alarm by opening the car door lock.
Set the ignition key to ACC mode.
Click on the “Valet” button - the number of clicks corresponds to the password number.
Set the key to the “OFF” position.
Return the key to the "ACC" position.
Enter the code for the second digit of the password by pressing the “Valet” button

The number of clicks on the service key corresponds to the password number. If the code begins with the number “3”, then you need to click on “Jack” three times.

Removing contaminants

The Starline security system does not respond to the key fob if the structural parts of the remote communicator become dirty. You can clean the remote control from dust deposits and moisture in this way:

Clean the housing with a dry cloth.
Dismantle the batteries by cleaning the slot intended for installing the battery.
When traces of oxidation appear, elements consisting of metal are cleaned with alcohol.
Disassemble the device body using a Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size.
Clean the parts located inside the structure using a dry cloth that does not leave marks or lint.
Clean the microcircuit using cotton swabs, a brush or an eraser.
Reassemble the device body, returning the parts to their original positions.

At the end of the work, you should check the key fob: if everything was done correctly, the security system will respond to commands without any delays.

Step-by-step guide to disabling

If the vehicle engine does not start due to the alarm, then you can disable the anti-theft installation using several methods:

by emergency shutdown of the installation;
using a secret code to turn off the siren (the author of the video is the REALAUT0 channel).

Regardless of the method you decide to implement, you will in any case need to find out where the Valet service button is located in the car. This button is intended to switch the anti-theft system into service mode. As a rule, it is mounted in a hidden place so that a potential criminal cannot detect it, otherwise the attacker can also turn off the alarm and steal the car. So if you are faced with the need to search for a button, then try to remember where you placed it when installing the alarm or call your installer for advice.

Possible locations for this button:

on the center console, under the steering wheel, closer to the engine compartment;

StarLine service mode management

When the service position is activated on the Starline A39, A63, A9, A96 or E90 alarm, some functions become unavailable to the owner. For example, in this position you can unlock or lock the doors, open/close the trunk, and activate the window closer. At the same time, recording new key fobs, changing autostart parameters or an individual unlock code is impossible.

Moreover, changing the parameters for automatically closing doors in this position is carried out exclusively through the Valet button.

Enabling Starline service mode

To transfer a car, for example, a Nissan Terrano, to a diagnostic service, you will need to temporarily disable the security functions. The owner of the car must enable the service mode and transfer the car to the appropriate state. To do this, you need to disable the security mode - transferring to the service position is impossible without this.

Switching on is carried out as follows: you need to set the cursor icon on the key fob to the wrench symbol, and then briefly press the third key on the remote control. After this, the car will emit one light signal, and the key fob will play a melody. A wrench icon will appear on the display. For Starline i96Can, I95, A92, A94 or A95 systems, the functions of remote control of door locks will continue to work, but the shock and tilt sensors, as well as other security options, will be disabled.

Also, if you have a GSM module, you can activate the repair mode using a mobile application. The owner must send an SMS with command 51 to the built-in SIM card or make a call where he can give command 51 in voice mode. Or go through his personal account on the official website of the company (you must go through the registration procedure).

How to disable the StarLine anti-robbery service mode

This function is designed to scare away car thieves in an emergency. When the anti-robbery mode is activated on the Starline A92, E91 or E95 models, the car turns on sound and light alarms, locks all doors, and turns off the ignition on the engine, first pulsed, then permanently. At the same time, the key fob vibrates and plays an alarm signal.

This option is activated from the key fob by long pressing the first and third buttons. After this, the corresponding icon will become active on the display. The car owner can enable the hidden anti-robbery mode. It is activated after the driver closes all the car doors and presses the Valet service button for two seconds.

It is important that deactivating the Anti-Robbery mode (when turned on from the key fob) from the remote control is impossible. It is carried out exclusively through entering a personal code

you need to move the cursor to the corresponding icon;
Briefly press the second key on the remote control.

It is not possible to activate the anti-theft function in repair mode.

How to enable and disable

Enabling the “service mode” is possible only if the car is disarmed, and the owner (key fob) must be near the vehicle. There are several ways to switch to service mode:

quickly press buttons “1” and “3” on the key fob;
select the appropriate item in the key fob menu;
SMS with command 51;
when going to the voice menu, command “51”;
through your personal account on the official website;
in the mobile application.

Your task is to choose any, most suitable option. The developers of Starline a96 took care of maximum convenience for users. After entering the mode, the label will glow yellow.

To exit the service mode, simply do any of the following:

quickly press buttons “1” and “3” on the key fob;
through the key fob menu;
press and hold the tag button for 5 seconds;
in voice mode we give the command “50”;
send SMS with “50”;
by visiting the website or app.

There is nothing complicated with turning on and off the service mode; any driver can handle it. But, it is worth remembering that in this mode you can reset the alarm settings, which will worsen the quality of its operation. It is recommended to trust only professionals to work with this mode.

The “Starline” service mode, also called “Valet”, is designed to disable the security functions of the alarm system during vehicle maintenance or repair at a service station.

Disabling Starline using the service button

As already noted, the Valet key is used in particular for emergency disabling of the security mode when it is impossible to use the control panel. The algorithm of actions differs little from model to alarm model, although the number of clicks may vary.

In general terms it looks like this:

open the doors and turn on the ignition;
within 20 seconds press Jack: three times (A91, A92, B94, E90) or four times (A8);
turn off the ignition.

To disable the A61 model, you will have to enter a personal code using the same key - in the second stage, pressing it a number of times equal to the password digit.

Alarm operating modes

Most alarm models in the mid-price segment of this manufacturer have a variety of sensors and operating modes that form a large multifunctional vehicle security complex. This complex includes programmed modes:

Advanced immobilizer mode.
Regular self-diagnosis of the entire alarm system.
Monitoring sensors, setting them up (using a key fob or computer).
Silent security mode (this mode can operate both when the engine is running and when it is turned off).
Monitoring vehicle location via GPS.
Service modes for setting up alarm systems and flashing key fobs by the user.

Remote engine shutdown

Starline A91 allows you to remotely turn off the car engine both to prevent theft (the interlocking circuits should in this case break the wiring sections necessary for the engine to operate, and not block the starter), and to terminate the autostart early.

In the first case you will need:

Program function 8 of the service menu in advance (see procedure above) to value 1 or 2. In the first case, the engine, after turning on the “anti-robbery” mode, will be turned off the first time you press the brake pedal, in the second - immediately.
To directly turn off the engine, simultaneously press and hold buttons 1 and 2 on the key fob.

Disabling the anti-robbery mode will require pressing button 2, as with normal disarming.

To turn off an engine running on autostart:

On the main key fob, press button 2 for a long time, then briefly press button 3.
The additional key fob does not provide the ability to turn off the engine.

Why is it used?

As already specified above, a similar mode is used for security system settings. To do this, some functions that may interfere with the settings are disabled. Can also be used for a number of electrical and engine related jobs.

These are the functions that cannot be enabled and used in service mode.

Removing and arming the system.
Working with central locking. It cannot be opened or closed.
Hands-free mode.
Turning on the pre-heater.
Panic mode.
Automatic switching to security mode when the trunk is open.
The main unit cannot be calibrated.
Visit the CAN information section on the website.
Automatic (by timer) and remote engine start.
It is impossible to enable the anti-robbery mode.

As you can see, the security functionality is significantly limited. But this is precisely what allows the owner to eliminate a number of vehicle malfunctions without additional difficulties, as well as perform its maintenance.

How to set up a key fob - basic functions

In terms of the set of functions, both the main and additional StarLine A93 key fobs are similar, except for the fact that all combinations with the “4” button on the additional one are impossible due to its physical absence. A number of functions are activated by different combinations of buttons on different types of key fobs.

There are three types of button presses used for control - short, long and double. A long press is carried out until a signal is given, in other cases it lasts about a second. A double tap is two short presses of a button within a period of no more than a second. If the combination involves sequential pressing of different buttons, then the first of them is long (until the sound signal), the second is short.

Something else useful for you:

Basic settings of the Starline key fob:

arming: short press button 1;
disarming: short press button 2.

In both cases, the car gives light and sound signals; in case of an alarming event, a siren sounds in security mode.

If we put the car on security, but it should not give signals (for example, at night under the neighbors’ windows), then use other combinations:

Setting: sequentially (see above) press 1 and 1 on the main key fob or double press 1 on the additional one.
Removal: press 2 and 2 sequentially on the main key fob or press 2 twice on the additional one.
