This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic T ransmission- Fuel Injection Gas or Diesel Vehicles Only!

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE: PART # 1365186

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin main wiring harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. The module will be secured after all wiring is completed which will allow complete access until the job is done.

Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof. HOOD PIN SWITCH: PART # 1363699

The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the 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. THE PUSH-BUTTON/PROGRAM SWITCH/LEDASSEMBL Y : P ART #PRLED

Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dash knockout plug or front dash panel is desirable as the now Push-Button LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the outside of the vehicle and will be used for valet modes, programming features, programming transmitters, and for overriding the remote start unit when the vehicle is being serviced. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and pressing on the bezel until the switch is fully seated.

SHOCK SENSOR: PART # AS9492a

Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation 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 allow access to the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer for use later in the installation.

ST ARTER INHIBIT RELA Y: PART # 1363731

Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness. CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause

This unit is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination Alarm/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.

chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping sheet metal screw . Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.

THE OPTIONAL RECEIVER/ANTENNA /PUSHBUTT ON/LED ASSEMBL Y :

The optional Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna, ADDSS or ADDP1 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 for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. Af ter securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 3 connectors toward the control module and plug the single blue wire's white connector into the mating LED connector on the module, plug the single gray wire's blue connector into the mating valet/override connector on the module and plug the 3 wire RF connector into the mating connector of the module, using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception no LED, or the inability to program the unit.

IMPORT ANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MUL TI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BA TTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BA TTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.

WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS: PART # 1123742 NOTE: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and

located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle. 1 Violet Wire: Accessory Output

Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 V olts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions, and will show 0 Volt s when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ST ART" or "CRANK" positions.

2 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 "ON" or "RUN" and the "ST ART" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0 Volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions. For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating. (See selectable feature Bank 3 #1 1)

3 Fused Red Wire:

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay.

5 Yellow Wire: Starter Output Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from

starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.

Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and ensure that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral. In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Y ellow wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 V olts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 V olt s in all other ignition switch positions. 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 of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage. SEE NEUTRAL ST ART SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DET AILS.

WIRING CONNECTIONS: 16 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART # 1 124049 1 Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire: External T rigger Input

The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect this wire to a ground pulsed output from the controlling circuit.

2 Grey Wire: Negative Inhibit Input / T rigger When Armed The Grey wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote St art Control Module whenever it is grounded.

This wire also trigger the alarm when armed. Connect the Grey wire to the hood pin switch previously installed. This wire must be routed through a grommet in the firewall and connected to the hood pin switch. If connecting to a factory hood pin switch, it is recommended that a double diode circuit be used to prevent feed back of one device to the other. IMPORT ANT! This connection is a safety wire and must be connected as shown and tested as specified. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. See detail of wiring in the following diagram. This wire may also be used if the vehicle brake light circuit switches ground to the brake lights. An isolation diode must be used for ground switched brake light circuits and must be connected to the output of the brake switch.

3 Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input The green/yellow wire, when connected to the wire that get + 12 Volts during the glow plug preheat st age

will delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 V olts. In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with glow plug preheat circuit, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle will not crank until the glow plugs are hot enough to fire the atomized fuel oil when injected into the cylinder. By connecting this wire to the glow plug + 12 Volt wire, when the remote start unit activates the ignition one output, the glow plug output also activates. The remote start sees the green/yellow with positive voltage and waits for this to go inactive (drop the 12 Volts) before activating the st arter motor . If this wire is not used or you have difficulty accessing the glow plug preheat circuit, you may elect to utilize the Diesel timed output as specified in Remote St art feature selection #9. NOTE: If green/yellow is used, it will override or negate any setting of feature #9.

4 White Wire: Parking Light Flasher Output This wire is the normally open contact of the on board parking light flash relay. Connect this wire to the

vehicle's parking light feed wire. This is the wire that gets switched on, either (+) or (-), when the vehicle's parking light switch is activated.

5 White w/ Red T race Wire: Parking Light Flasher Input This wire is the common contact of the on board parking light flasher relay . If the vehicle you are working

128-8971a

on has +12 Volt switched parking light s, connect this wire to a fused + 12 Volt source. (Max. 15 Amps)

NOTE: If the vehicle's parking lights are ground switched, connect this wire to chassis ground.

Parking Light Wiring Detail

6 White w/ Black Trace Wire: (+) Optional Siren Output

This is the positive siren feed wire. Route this wire through a grommet in the firewall to the siren location. Connect the White w/ Black Trace wire to the Red wire of the Siren. Secure the Black wire of the Siren to a known chassis ground or solid clean metal surface.

7 Black w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA Horn Output The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current

output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch. If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay (or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.

8 Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote St art

module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine

128-8971a

compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote S tart 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 single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See Multi Coil Pack Adaptor wiring detail shown later in this manual for additional information.

NOTE: For Hybrid mode selection, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connection is not required, the unit will

9 Orange Wire: 300mA (-) Ground When Armed Output

This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit relay . Connect the Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the relay provided. Connect terminal #85 (red wire) of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is +12 Volt s when the ignition switch is turned to the on and start positions and off when the key is off. Locate and cut the low current start solenoid wire found at the vehicles ignition switch harness. This wire will have + 12 V olts when the ignition key is moved to the start (crank) position and will have 0 V olts in all other key positions. Connect one side of the cut wire to terminal #87a ( Black wire) of the relay . Connect the other side of the cut wire to terminal #30 (White/Black wire) of the relay . See below for detail of wiring, also see Yellow St art wire detail for connection to vehicle considerations.

start the vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.

10 Brown w/ Black T race Wire: Positive Inhibit Input Plus T rigger When Armed The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an inst ant shutdown for the Remote St art Control module whenever

it gets + 12 V olts also triggers the alarm when armed. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volt s to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch. This will allow the Remote Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key while running under the control of the Remote St art. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.

11 Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be

certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self tapping screw and ring terminal. 12 Brown Wire: (-) Negative Door Trigger If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and imports), you

must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases the Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. This wire will be shunted when remote starting the vehicle and will remain shunted, if active, while running under command of the remote start. If this wire is active when the system is armed, the siren will emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the siren will emit 1 chirp to confirm full arming. NOTE: For vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".
