How does a Viper remote start system work?
Depending on the age of your remote start system, there are a few ways that the remote start can be programmed to detect when the engine has successfully started so it can stop cranking the starter. Older Viper remote start systems had two options; tachometer (tach) sensing or voltage sensing.
What causes the whirring sound on a bad starter?
If the engine is cranking and your vehicle won’t start, then you are probably dealing with an ignition or fuel system problem.

What is the neutral safety wire on a Viper?
And when a remote start is installed on a manual transmission vehicle, the neutral safety wire connects to the emergency brake wire. You can test to make sure your neutral safety wire is getting a ground signal by testing continuity to ground. The neutral safety wire on a Viper remote start system is the black wire with white stripe (black/white).
Why is my Viper remote not working properly?
This is a safety feature in a viper remote system. It is designed to prevent the activation of remote start if the vehicle is in gear.

Remote Not Paired This doesn’t happen very often but on rare occasions I’ve seen remotes become unpaired from the system.
Where is the tach on a Viper remote start?
On some models it is located on the antenna assembly. When the LED from the remote start brain turns on solid, the tach was programmed successfully. Activate the remote start with the remote.
Where to test continuity on Viper remote start?
Alternatively you can test continuity to ground on the hood pin wire when the hood is closed. The hood pin wire on a Viper remote start system is the grey wire. If you’re not sure how to test for continuity with a digital multimeter, check out my post on Multimeter Uses and Functions – How to Use a Digital Multimeter. 3.
