Honda/Acura stalls immediately after remote-started.

Symptom

Mode/Type 3 vehicles on HONDA-SL2 or HONDA-SL3 stall immediately after remote-started.

Cause

The vehicles battery is either poor or the ambient temperature is low enough that the battery cannot produce enough current during remote-start. The reduced current output of the battery causes the voltage to drop below 6volts DC during crank, where the vehicle's ECM resets several times. This can be easily seen by viewing the cluster while starting the vehicle. The cluster will blink (on/off) several times while cranking, and each time the cluster turns off then on the ECM has reset.

Solution

Upgrade the HONDA-SL2 to version 1.1 or the HONDA-SL3 to version 1.4 or above.
