WARNING!

➤

Verify that the transmission is set to park and that

the parking brake is set before beginning installation.

➤

On vehicles with air bags or supplemental restraint

systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow tube

with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the

steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamper

or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly dam-

ages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering

may cause unintended deployment of airbags.

➤

This system is intended for automatic, fuel-injected

vehicles only. Installation in any other vehicle is con-

trary to its intended use.

Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections

Ground Wire

The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper

fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the

BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.

Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel

(do not ground on dash). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the

screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down,

pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.

Constant Power and Ignition wires

Almost all your power and ignition wires can be found behind the

key cylinder under the lower driver's side dash panel. Using the

appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel taking care

not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily, check

for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition

harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of

heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.).

Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in

the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge

wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be

obtained at www.readyremote.com.

note! More problems are attributed to poor ground

connections than any other cause. Take extra care

to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal

contact and secure.

Testing for Constant Power Wires

WARNING! Before making any connection to constant

battery power make sure that the two 30 amp fuses

are removed from the fuse holders on the two pink 12

VOLT wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or short-

ing of sensitive electrical components.

With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The

constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the

constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy

gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and

wrap the connection with electrical tape.

note! If the vehicle has more than one constant

power wire, utilize two of them. Connect one of the

heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant

power wires and the other heavy gauge PINK wire to

the other constant power wire.

Testing for Ignition Wires

With the multimeter lead still connected in the kick panel, locate

the suspected ignition wire. It will test differently than constant

12 volts. Place the red lead of the multimeter on the suspected

wire. With the key in the off position the multimeter will read 0.

Turn the key to the on position and the multimeter will read 12

volts. Now, watching your multimeter, turn the key to the crank

position. If the 12 volts stays on, then you have found your igni-

tion wire. If the wire tests correctly, solder the BLUE heavy gauge

wire to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the web site

information, follow the same test procedure and solder the GREEN

heavy gauge wire to it then wrap the connection with electrical

tape. If your vehicle has only one ignition wire, secure the GREEN

wire and dress it out of the way.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional

relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

Accessory and Starter wires

The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness

as the ignition and constant power.

To find the accessory wire leave the multimeter’s black lead

connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire

suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multi-

meter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position the

multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank

position. If you have the correct accessory wire the multimeter

will read 0 volts while the starter is cranking and 12 volts once

the key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip

some insulation off and solder the WHITE heavy gauge wire and

wrap it with electrical tape.

If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN

ign2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory output.

If the GREEN wire is being used for ign2 an additional relay (not

provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the diagram

below.

Now that the accessories have been located, find the suspected

starter wire according to the web information. Leave the black

lead of your tester on ground and place the red lead of your multi-

meter on this wire. The multimeter should read 0 volts in all key

positions except the crank position. In the crank position your

multimeter should read 12 volts, and will go to 0 volts when the

starter disengages.

Many Nissan and late-model Chrysler vehicles have two starter

wires. A relay and/or resistor (not provided) is required to hook up

the additional starter wire. Refer to the diagram below.

note! Always check the Web site information

on your vehicle for warnings regarding the

starter wire and check engine lights. Some

vehicles will trip a check engine light if the

starter wire is cut.

Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half (check the

web information before cutting) and try to start the vehicle. If

the vehicle does not start, the correct wire has been identified.

Reconnect both ends of the starter wire while soldering the thick

YELLOW (6) wire of the heavy guage wires to it and wrap the

connection with electrical tape.

Step 2, H1, Main Harness Connections

Factory Alarm Disarm

Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm it

is necessary to disarm it when unlocking the doors or during

remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer

system. They each require different disarm operations.

Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site informa-

tion. Once the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red

lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it. Put the multi-

meter in the DC position then probe the suspect wire with the

black lead of your meter. While probing the wire, place the key in

the driver's door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold

it when testing for the disarm wire. The multimeter should read

12V and will go back to 0V when the key is released.

When the correct wire has been found, solder the BROWN/WHITE

wire of the 6-pin harness to the wire that you determined to be

the factory alarm disarm wire. After this wire has been connected

wrap the connection with electrical tape.

note! On some vehicles the Factory Alarm Disarm

wire is connected to a Body Control Module or a Door

Module. If you find this configuration, please call

Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.

note! Some vehicles use a + trigger factory alarm

system. Use the website to determine if your vehicle

has a + trigger. If your vehicle has such a system call

1-800-477-1382 for live technical assistance as spe-

cial wiring and an additional relay is required.

Parking light flash

There are several different types of parking light circuits. The

following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking-

light circuit, only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)

parking light circuit, the fuse jumper (on the side of the module)

must be moved to the opposite position.

The default position for this jumper is for a positive parking light

circuit.

Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected

wire. Connect the black multimeter lead to ground in the kick

panel. Probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter.

With the switch in the off position the multimeter should read 0

volts. While watching the multimeter, turn your headlight switch

to the parking light position. The multimeter should read 12 volts.

While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light

control up and down-the voltage should NOT vary. If the voltage

does vary then this is the wrong wire. Continue probing to find the

correct wire.

Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the small YELLOW

wire of the 6-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with elec-

trical tape.

important! Remember this description is for a (+)

parking light circuit. A (-) circuit will test differently.

Also, if the web information requires using resistors

for parking lights, contact Technical Support.

Safety Shutdown Wires

With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate

safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin

wires.

WARNING! These wires are meant to protect the

vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They MUST

be connected to prevent damage to the vehicle

and possible bodily injury.

First locate the factory brake wire using your multimeter. Find the

switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. Use

your vehicle specific wiring information to determine the color of

this wire. With the black lead of your multimeter still in the kick

panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your multi-

meter. With the brake pedal at rest the multimeter should read 0

volts. While watching the multimeter, depress the brake pedal.

The multimeter should read 12 volts. Once you have located the

correct brake wire, solder the small ORANGE wire in the 6-pin

harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

WARNING! Do not use the vehicle until you

confirm the operation of the brake shutdown.

Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a hole in a metal

lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin

switch to be completely depressed when the hood is closed. The

pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire

connection.

Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire and run the wire

into the vehicle's passenger compartment through a factory rubber

grommet (at the same time you might want to run Tachometer

Input wire and Horn output wire from Optional Harness through

the fire wall as you may need to connect them using the following

steps).

Using a sharp, pointed object poke a hole into the grommet

(being careful not to damage any existing wires in the grommet)

and attach the wire to the object with electrical tape. Pull the

wire through the grommet taking extra care to keep the wire away

from any moving parts or anything that will generate extreme

heat.

An alternative to this method would be to find a spot on the fire-

wall with sufficient clearance on both sides and drill an access

hole through the firewall. Take note of what is directly on the

other side of where you are drilling as to not puncture brake cylin-

ders, computers, etc. Once the wire is run into the vehicle and

secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to the VIOLET wire

of the 6-pin harness and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

WARNING! This wire MUST be connected. Do not

use the vehicle until you confirm the operation

of the hood pin shutdown. Improper operation

could result injury or death.

Step 3, H3 Door Lock Connections

There are 8 different types of door lock systems (Type A - H).

Refer to the vehicle-specific wiring instructions on the web and

the chart below to help determine which door lock system your

vehicle uses. On some late model GM vehicles a door lock data

interface module may be required.

Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

note! From the factory, your system is set up for Type

B (-) door locks. To change your door lock outputs to

Type A (+), simply use the wires in the oposite con-

figuration. You will now have (+) door locks.

Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are

wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory

relays. Relays (not included) will be required for this type of door

lock system.

Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include

slave systems without an actuator in the driver's door, but with

factory actuators in all the other doors.

Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems.

Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock.

This is a vary rare system found only mainly in early 90's imports

Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. One wire controls lock and unlock

using resistor(s).

Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. Same as type G system, but uses

(-) pulse instead.

All other door lock systems will require additional relays and/or

resistors. A Directed Electronics 451M Doorlock module can be

used for these other applications. The 451M also includes

diagrams and resistors required for most applications.

Step 4, H2 Harness

Engine Monitoring Explained

During remote start the system will need to know if the engine is

running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the

vehicle's electrical system (or the tachometer-see next section).

Voltage Monitoring

note! If the system has been programmed for

Tachometer monitoring previously, it must be

reprogrammed to Voltage monitoring.

Vehicle electrical systems usually rest at about 12.6 volts when

the engine is not running. This system is programmed to detect

the rise in battery voltage that occurs when the charging circuit

activates after starting, and keep the engine running if the rise is

adequate. It will make up to three start attempts before discon-

tinuing due to an inadequate voltage rise.

Some vehicles have alternators that do not activate immediately

or do not increase voltage sufficiently after starting, this system

will compensate by delaying the time before reading the battery

voltage on the second and third start attempts. This delay will

allow most alternators to activate so the remote start will

continue to run.

The voltage read times are:

First attempt: 10 seconds

Second attempt: 20 seconds

Third attempt: 50 seconds

After the third start attempt, if the voltage increase is still not

adequate to keep the engine running, the Tachometer input

option should be used to monitor the engine.

Tachometer Wire

WARNING! In the following procedure DO NOT use

a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause

grounding of sensitive electrical components caus-

ing damage, including damage to the power train

control module. A digital multi-meter is required to

test for this wire.

Do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled

in rotating engine components. Ensure that your

hands and arms are well clear of these rotating

components when working in the engine compart-

ment. Lastly, ensure that all wires and tools are

clear of falling into or entanglement with these

rotating components.

Identify the suspected tach wire according to the web informa-

tion. Next, place the black lead of a MULTI-METER on the nega-

tive battery post and secure it. Put the multi-meter in the AC posi-

tion and connect the probe to the suspect wire with the red lead

of the multi-meter. Then start the vehicle with the key. With the

engine at idle the multi-meter should read between .50 volts to 6

volts, and should fluctuate when you rev the engine.

Have a second person press the gas pedal to increase the RPMs

and watch the meter display. When the RPMs increase the voltage

should rise slightly (not all tachometer outputs will rise when

engine RPM increases). Once the correct tachometer wire has been

identified, turn the vehicle off.

Run the GREEN wire from the 8-pin harness through the firewall

into the engine compartment along side the hood pin wire. Use

the same procedure as with the hood pin wire and pull the wire

through the grommet taking extra care to keep it away from any

moving parts or anything that will generate extreme heat. Once

the wire is run into the engine compartment, strip a small portion

of insulation off the tachometer wire in the vehicle and solder the

green tachometer input wire to it. Then wrap the connection with

electrical tape.

note! If using a tach signal, the tach signal MUST

be learned before using the remote starter.

LEARNING YOUR TACH SIGNAL

If using a tach wire, you must learn the tach signal after

completing the installation.

To learn tach signal:

1. Start car with key

2. Wait about 5 seconds for the engine to idle down

3. Press and hold the Momentary switch (about 10

seconds)

4. Tach learned: After a few seconds the LED will flash 2

times and turn on. Continue to hold the switch for 2 - 3

seconds and release.

5. Tach not learned: The LED will not turn on and will flash

3 times when the momentary switch is released. Check

the connections and try again.

Following is a brief description of the remainder of the wires in

the H2 harness. For specific details on connecting these outputs

contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Horn/siren wire

The Blue wire provides an output for activating the vehicle horn

circuit or an external siren. The output is programmable in Feature

Menu 1/9 for the desired use.

important! This is a low current output and that

requires an external relay when connected to circuits

that draw more than 400mA in current.

Wait-to-start wire

The Red/Black wire is for use with diesel engines that require a

short delay for the glow plugs to warm up before cranking the

engine. Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the

signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dashboard. In

most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and

the Red/Black wire can be directly connected. If the vehicle uses

a positive wire (12V to turn on the bulb) a relay must be used to

change the polarity.

Ignition Output wire

The Yellow/Green wire should be the ONLY the ignition input to an

existing aftermarket alarm system. This wire will prevent the host

system from sensing that the ignition is on during remote start

operation.

Trunk Release wire

The Green/White wire can be used to activate a vehicle trunk

release solenoid or to operate optional modules that require a

negative input. Whenever the

button is pressed for a few

seconds the system will disarm/unlock and then activate this

output. The output will then remain on until the transmitter

button is released.

important! this is a low current output and that

requires an external relay when connected to cir-

cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

Retained Accessory, Dome Light or Starter Kill wire

The Brown wire has three optional uses depending on the vehicle

application and user preference. The three available operations are

programmable in Feature Menu 2/11

➤

RAP or Retained Accessory Power: This option is

designed to turn off accessories that remain on after the

ignition is turned off. It will pulse 10 seconds after the

remote start status output ceases. It will make the vehi-

cle body control module think the door has opened, thus

turning the accessories off.

➤

Dome Light Supervision: This option will turn on the

dome light for 25 second each time the vehicle is

unlocked. It will cease if on when the doors are locked

or the ignition in turned on.

Start Kill/Anti-grind: This option activates when the

doors are locked to allow for starter kill for the alarm

system and also works as an anti-grind when the remote

start is active.

important! this is a low current output and that

requires an external relay when connected to cir-

cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

Headlight Control wire

The Yellow/Brown wire provides an output for activating the

vehicle headlight circuit. It is controlled by both the ignition

switch and the transmitter. It is programmable in Feature Menu

1/10 for the type of ignition controlled activation.

important! this is a low current output and that

requires an external relay when connected to cir-

cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

Door Trigger wire

The Gray/Black wire will trigger the alarm and is designed to be

connected to the door switch that turns on the dome light when

the door is opened. It is a negative input circuit only. If your

vehicle uses a positive door switch circuit, call for assistance in

making the connection.

Step 5, Mounting the Receiver/Antenna

Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle

owner prior to installation, since the antenna may be visible to

the vehicle’s operator.

The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on

either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the anten-

na should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally

in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from

metal, but range will be diminished. Metallic window tint can also

affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining

the mounting location.

After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:

1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or

alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.

2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the

receiver/antenna.

3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double-

sided tape.

4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module

and plug it into the four-pin antenna connector.

important! To achieve the best possible range,

DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under

the dash. Always extend the cable full length dur-

ing installation, regardless of the antenna mount-

ing location.

Step 6, Immobilizer Bypass Modules

Most newer vehicles have a factory engine immobilizer system

designed to prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle. These

immobilizers will cut off power to the starter and the fuel supply

preventing a thief from starting the vehicle.

There are several types of immobilizers, with the most common

being the resistance-based passlock/passlock 2 systems found on

most newer GM vehicles. This system can be bypassed using the

20402, 29402 or 556L immobilizer bypass modules available at

your local authorized retailer or at www.directedstore.com. The

majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems can be

bypassed using the 20402, 29402 or 556U immobilizer bypass

module available at your local authorized retailer.

The WHITE/BLACK wire of the 6-pin harness supplies a 400mA (-)

output as soon as the control module begins the remote start

process. This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer bypass

unit.

note! Any vehicle equipped with a factory immobi-

lizer must use an immobilizer bypass module to

remote start. If not used, the vehicle ignition or

fuel supply circuits could lock up and require a

costly trip to the dealer to reset the computer sys-

tem.

To determine which bypass module your vehicle requires, use the

website Interface Module Look-Up tool at www.readyremote.com.

Step 7, Programming

Programming transmitters

Your system can learn up to 4 transmitters. The following proce-

dure will show you how to add additional transmitters or replace

old ones. Each transmitters can be programmed one button at a

time or you can use an auto learn procedure that learns the

intended factory configuration. Learning one button at a time is

generally only used when using one transmitters to control two

different cars. Being able to program functions to different chan-

nels on each transmitters prevents multiple cars from responding

simultaneously.

1. Turn the ignition ON

2. Press/release the momentary switch the same number of

times as the desired transmitter learn Step number, and

then Press/HOLD.

3. After Holding the momentary switch for 2 seconds the

LED will begin to flash to indicate of the accessed trans-

mitter learn Step.

4. Press the transmitter button that you want to control

the function assigned to that transmitter learns Step;

the Horn/Siren will emit a long chirp.

note! For transmitter learn Step #1, you must press

the “*” button on the transmitter, this will auto-

matically program the transmitter buttons to the

default function configuration. See the transmit-

ter button auto learn chart for the assignment

functions.

You can learn more than one transmitter function at a time by

advancing to another transmitter learn Step.

To do this, first release the momentary SW and then press/release

it the same number of times as the difference between the current

transmitter learn Step and the desired transmitter learn Step, and

then press/HOLD it.

example! To advance from transmitter learn Step 2

to transmitter learn Step 8, release the momentary

SW and then press/release it 6 times and HOLD it

on the 7th press.

After Holding the Valet Sw for 2 seconds the LED will flash 8 times

and repeat. You can now learn a transmitter button to step 8.

There are several ways to exit transmitter Learning, by TimeOut,

Ignition or momentary SW Presses.

1. TimeOut: If more than 15 seconds elapse between

momentary SW presses or transmitter signals.

2. Ignition: If the Ignition is turned off at any time during

transmitter Learning.

3. Momentary SW presses: if you press/release the momen-

tary SW more times than transmitter Learning steps in

the menu.

The Horn output will pulse 5 times rapidly and the Led will turn

off to indicate exiting feature programming.

System Diagnostics

Alarm diagnostics

When arming or disarming the alarm, this system will alert you of

alarm triggers or active inputs by changing the Horn/Siren and

light flash output. It will then indicate the active input by

flashing the LED.

Arming diagnostics:

When arming, if an alarm input is active (door or hood open) the

Horn/Siren output and Parking Lights will pulse three times

instead of one as an alert.

The LED will then flash/pause and then repeat 5 times to indicate

the active input (See alarm input chart)

The active input will be bypassed until it has been inactive for

more than 5 seconds but all other alarm inputs will be monitored

normally to assure the security of the vehicle

Disarming diagnostics:

When disarming, if the alarm was fully triggered in your absence,

the Horn/Siren output and Parking Lights will pulse four times

instead of two as an alert.

The LED will then flash/pause and then repeat 5 times to indicate

the input that caused the trigger (See alarm input chart).

note! If the alarm was triggered more than once, the

diagnostics will only report the last input that fully

triggered the alarm. Sensor War-away triggers are not

reported in diagnostics.

Testing the system

Once steps 1-7 have been completed, the operation of the system

can be tested.

Ensure that the two 30-amp fuses are in the relay harness PINK

wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the

emergency brake on and the hood closed. Press

2 times on

the remote to initiate the remote start function. The parking

lights should flash to confirm the remote start command has been

received, The accessories and ignition should turn on followed by

the starter cranking and the vehicle engine running (this may take

a moment to initiate). Pressing

2 times again on the remote

will shut the engine off. (See Programming System settings

section for 1 press remote start operation)

This completes the testing, if all functions do not work correctly

check your wiring against the manual and verify all connections.

If you still experience problems contact Directed Technical

Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Neutral Safety Test

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch.

Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically inter-

rupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear.

If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide

protection from starting in gear.

However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and

the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In

these vehicles, it is impossible to interface the remote start

system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,

if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is acti-

vated, the vehicle will move and may cause damage to persons or

property.

important! This test must be performed to deter-

mine if the vehicle will start while in gear. If the

vehicle attempts to start during this test you

must call Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382

for assistance before using the remote start fea-

ture.

Testing the Neutral Safety Switch

note! You must complete the remote start system

installation before doing the following test.

Ensure that the remote start system is function-

ing normally. This includes connecting to the

brake as a shut-down.

1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and

rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.

2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote

start shut-downs active.

3. Set the emergency brake.

4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the

shifter.

5. Place the shifter in the drive position.

6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not

depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the starter

engages.

7. Activate the remote start system.

8. If the starter does not engage, no additional safety

interfaces are required.

9. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to

shut the remote start system down.

IF THE ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE THEN THE TEST

HAS FAILED

CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE AT 1-800-477-1382

warning! If the vehicle fails this test the remote

start must be disabled until the proper Safety

Interface has been installed that will keep the

vehicle from starting while in gear. Failure to do so

may result in property damage, injury or death.

Troubleshooting

The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank.

➜

Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle

have an engine immobilizer? Does it start with the brake pedal

depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the brake shutdown when

performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock.

Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by energizing it

yourself with a fused test lead.

The starter cranks for 1 or 2-seconds but does not start.

➜

The wrong ignition wire is being energized or the system's ignition

and accessory wires have been connected backwards. Also, the

vehicle may have two ignition circuits. Try activating the unit with

the ignition key in the "run" position. If the vehicle then runs

normally, retest your ignition system.

The starter continues to crank after the car has started.

➜

Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning section of

this guide. Is the tach wire receiving the correct information?

Either the wrong tach wire has been used, or a bad connection

exists. Verify that all of the heavy gauge wires are plugged into

the correct tabs on the control unit. If they are incorrectly

connected, the starter could stay engaged.

The climate control system does not work.

➜

Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than

one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to

operate the climate control system.

The remote start will not activate.

➜

Check to ensure that the hood is not open and that the brake

pedal is not depressed. Check harnesses and connections. Make

sure the harnesses are fully plugged into the remote start module.

Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. Check

voltage and fuses. Use a meter and check for voltage between the

RED wire and the BLACK ground wire. If you have less than battery

voltage, check both 30A fuses on the main power wires. Also make

sure that the ground wire is going to a good paint-free chassis

ground.

The remote start will activate but the starter never engages.

➜

1. Check for voltage on the YELLOW starter wire two seconds

after the remote start becomes active. If there is voltage

present, skip to Step 4. If there is no voltage present,

advance to Step 2.

2. Check the 30A fuses.

3. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some Immobilizer

systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.

4. Check connections. The two PINK heavy gauge input wires

should have solid connections. "T-taps", or "scotch locks" are

not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring.

Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire,

then connect one PINK wire to each.

The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.

➜

Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle's immobilizer

will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting

attempts.

The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds.

➜

Is the remote start module programmed for voltage sense? If so,

try programming the unit to tach mode.

Alarm and Security Features

Transmitter Arming of the Alarm

You can arm the system by pressing the

button of your trans-

mitter for one second. When the system arms, the Horn/Siren

output will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once.

If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will

also lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash once

per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your

vehicle.

If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 3 times, refer to the

Diagnostics Section. This indicates an alarm input is active at the

time of arming and should be checked. The LED will flash in groups

to indicate the active input.

Passive Arming of the Alarm

This system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called

passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming,

it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned

off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by

opening and closing a door.

Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming count-

down, the status LED will flash rapidly. At the 30-second point,

the Horn/Siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash to indi-

cate that the system is armed.

note! If the door, brake or hood inputs are acti-

vated during the 30 second countdown the

timer will stop and reset, it will re-start once

the input becomes inactive. Active sensor

inputs will not stop the countdown.

Auto-rearming feature

Auto-rearming is designed to protect the vehicle in case of unin-

tended disarming of the alarm.

It will automatically re-arm the alarm and lock the doors 120

seconds after any transmitter disarm occurs.

To stop Auto-rearm simply open a door or turn the ignition on

before the 120 seconds expires.

Alarm Input Operations

When armed the alarm has 6 inputs that will cause a full alarm

trigger output. Refer to the Alarm Diagnostic section for addi-

tional detail.

➤

The Door, Hood, Ignition and Brake inputs will cause an

immediate full trigger output when activated.

➤

The Sensor inputs can cause two types of outputs; Warn-

away and Full Trigger.

note! An optional two stage sensor is required for

the Sensor outputs to activate. Call Technical

Support for more information on compatible sensors.

Alarm Trigger Outputs

➤

Warn-away output: this output consists of 5 chirps of

the Horn/Siren output and 3 flashes of the parking

lights.

➤

Full Trigger output: this output consists of flashing the

Parking lights and the Horn/Siren output for 30 seconds

followed by a 5 second pause to monitor the alarm

inputs. If an alarm input is still active the output will

repeat.

Transmitter Disarming the Alarm

To disarm the security system, press the

button of the trans-

mitter. When the system disarms, the Horn/Siren output will chirp

twice and the parking lights will flash twice.

If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will

also unlock. The LED will turn off and the vehicle can be entered.

If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 4 times, refer to the

Diagnostics Section. This indicates that the alarm was fully trig-

gered in your absence. The LED will flash in groups to indicate the

input that caused the trigger.

Momentary Switch Disarming the Alarm

If your transmitter is lost or will not disarm the alarm, you can

manually override it using your ignition key and the Momentary

Switch.

To override the Alarm using the Momentary Switch

➤

Zone Bypass Feature

The Zone Bypass feature temporarily bypasses alarm inputs that

trigger excessively when the system is armed while monitoring the

other inputs for triggers. This keeps constant triggers due to envi-

ronmental reasons from annoying the neighbors.

Protected entry bypass:

If the door, hood, brake or ignition inputs become activated

through 3 consecutive 30 second full trigger durations, it will be

bypassed until it has become inactive for more than 5 seconds.

Sensor bypass:

If one of the sensor inputs is triggered 3 times within 1 hour, a

bypass timer will begin and that input will be bypassed for 1 hour.

If a trigger occurs on that input while the bypass timer is active,

the bypass timer will reset.

You can Disarm and then Rearm the alarm to defeat the sensor

bypass at any time.
