Section 3: Troubleshooting
Auto Detect Mode
So you tried the auto detect feature and at the end the LED did
not stay solid "red". Instead it started flashing, meaning that the ASWC-1
did not detect the vehicle.
Follow these steps to determine what may have happened:
1) Verify that you have 12-volt accessory and a good ground to
the ASWC-1. Sometimes the factory ground is not sufficient, a
chassis ground is highly recommended. If your vehicle has a SWC
reference ground wire, chassis ground that as well, along with your
aftermarket radio.
2) Validate using the vehicle information sheet (Axxess website) that
the correct steering wheel control wire(s), in the vehicle, were
connected to the correct wire(s) to the ASWC-1.
3) Confirm that the 3.5mm connector is connected to your radio
securely and in the correct location.
4) If using the female 3.5mm connector in Eclipse, Kenwood,
select JVC, or Metra OE radios verify that the radio's SWC wire is
connected to the correct wire to the ASWC-1.
Manual Programming Auto Detect Mode
If your vehicle is not listed for auto detection by the ASWC-1 on the
Axxess website, www.axxessinterface.com, you can manually program a
non-data vehicle by the following steps (have ASWC-1 legend available).
