3. Setup and Installation
Important: Professional car alarm installer installation is required. Attempting self-installation without proper knowledge may damage the vehicle's electrical system or the product, and may void the warranty.
Pre-Installation Considerations:
- Immobilizer Bypass: If your vehicle has a factory OEM key fob with a chip immobilizer, an extra bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B07NSLPBG7 or B00MEHBVIC) is required.
- Steering Wheel Lock: The steering wheel lock must be unlocked, released, or removed during installation.
- Vehicle Compatibility: This system is designed for 95% of DC12V petrol vehicles. For diesel cars with engine starting times over 3 seconds, turn on the ON dashboard first to pre-warm the spark plug, then start the car, or add an extra timer delay switch.
- Wiring Diagram: A detailed wiring diagram is available upon request from the manufacturer or seller.
Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits and ensure reliable operation.

6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your EASYGUARD EC002-T2 system, consider the following:
- System Not Responding: Check key fob battery levels. Ensure the vehicle's 12V battery is charged.
- PKE Not Working: Verify the key fob is within the specified range. Ensure no strong electromagnetic interference is present.
- Engine Not Starting: Confirm the system is disarmed. Ensure the foot brake is pressed firmly. Check for any immobilizer bypass issues if applicable.
- Alarm Triggering Randomly: Check all door, hood, and trunk sensors for proper connection and adjustment.
