This Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automat

THE TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Transceiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash- board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window location fo

Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS. BLUE WIRE: Ignition 1 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions and will have 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.

PINK Wire: Additional Ignition Output This wire can be used as an additional + 12 Volt ignition output supplied by the Red/Black wire. This output can be selected to be on or off during the start cycle. (See feature bank 3 selection # 8) Connect this wire to the third ignition circuit in the vehicle and set the selectable feature # 8 of Bank 3 according to the way in which the vehicle's igni

If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch and that switch provides + 12 Volts to an under hood light, the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch. BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Bla

LIGHT BLUE Wire: Ground Output While Running. This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations: A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shu

Green/Orange Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If the vehicle has a s

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 Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector) The Red & Green Door Lock/Unlock output wires provide either a pulsed ground or pulsed + 12 volts to control the vehicle door lock / unlock circuits. The output of these wires has a maximum switching capability of 300mA. Many vehicles today have factory door lock relays which can be connected directly to these outputs

3. Diagnostics: 1. Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 9 as described on the front pages of this manual. 2. Press and hold the program push-button switch on, then turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. 3. The lights will flash and the number of flashes will indicate the reason for shutdown on the last remote start attempt. The indications are as follows. 1 Flash 5, 10, 15, or 20, minute run timer expired. 2 Flashes Low or No tach signal received. 3 Flashes Positive or Negative

MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT: The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation. To test the integrity of the manual shut down / enable circuit: 1. Place the control switch in the on (Closed To Ground) position. 2. Start the vehicle using the RF transmitter. 3. The vehicle should start and run under the control of the remote start unit. 4. Move the switch to the off (O
