This system is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combina- tion Keyless Entry/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage. MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission. INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE: Select a mounting location inside the passenger

at the ignition switch then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle s battery. This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay. This Remote Start 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 recei

Note: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. 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.

WIRING THE 4 PIN ALTERNATE IGNITION HARNESS ORANGE/BLACK Wire: Parking Brake Input This wire is used only when the turbo timer mode, Bank 3, feature # 16 is selected ON. This input insures that the vehicle parking brake is applied whenever the vehicle is set up for and the turbo timer circuit is used. This input must switch to ground when the vehicle's parking brake is applied. Connect the Orange/Black wire to the negative output of the vehicle's parking brake switch. RED/BLACK Wire: + 12 Volts

YELLOW w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output Note: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected to in the vehicle. This wire provides a + 12 Volt output when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is “OFF” and when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter. This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The Yellow

C. GM VATS Key Override: If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This; 1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the key's value from the resistor pack supplied. 2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition switch to the VATS control

Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input The Green/Yellow wire will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plug wire. When the unit receives a start command, this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1 is activated by the remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of the vehicle drops the + 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait to start input, then 500mS later the starter will eng

3 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector) The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay, or a pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw through these outputs must not exceed 300mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed ground only, and will only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after a first unlock comma

Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground. The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the

5 Pin Accessory Output Harness Dark Blue Wire : Delayed 300 mA Pulsed Output/Channel 3 The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil. This output is activated by the same transmitter button that is used to activate the remote start function. Press and hold the trunk/key button to activate this trunk release output, or press and release the tr

Blue/Red Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 7 The light blue/red wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil. WARNING: Connecting the light blue/red to the high current circuits, will damage the control module. Connect the light blue/red to terminal 86 of the AS - 92

TIMED START OPERATION: To begin the start timer, within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition switch, activate the RF command to start 2 times. (Press the trunk/key button four times). The lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times. Indicating timed interval mode has been initiated. The vehicle will automatically start every 2 or 4 hours as programmed. To cancel the timed start mode start the vehicle either by RF or by the ignition key. Programming Tach Rate: Note: All applications re
