hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters

SHOCK SENSOR: Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent opera- tion from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8 self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to all

Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed Channel 3 Output The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel three of the receiver is accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button for three seconds will access channel two. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the trunk release or the circuit you wish to control. Connect the Dark Blue wire to terminal # 86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal # 85 o

Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank) The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles. NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement is more than 300 mA. 2 Pin Transpo
