This Remote Start is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this system is a sophisticated device 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!

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

PART # 1365407

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-BUTTONPROGRAM SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: PART # 1181202

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard 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 the double stick tape provided.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTILALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY 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 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 "START" 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 #12)

2 Red/White Wire: +12 Volt Battery 1 Source Fused 30A

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification:This wire will register voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White Wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.

3 Green Wire: Ignition 2 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.

NOTE: See programming information (Bank 3 Selection #7) concerning this wire to allow output during the "START" mode.

4 Purple Wire: Accessory Output

Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions, and will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "START" or "CRANK" positions.

5 Red Wire: +12 Volt Battery 2 Source Fused 30A

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: This wire 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.

6 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 Yellow Wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 Volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 Volts 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.

1 Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal

This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under the 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 coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders.

If the unit has difficulty sensing a single coil, this input can connect to an injector wire as an alternate.

NOTE: For Hybrid mode selection, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connection is not required, the unit will start the vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.

2 Green w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input

The Green w/Yellow Trace Wire, when connected to the wire that gets +12 Volts during the glow plug preheat stage will delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 Volts. 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 to 0 Volts) before activating the starter 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 Start feature selection Bank 3 Feature #12.

NOTE: If the Green w/Yellow Trace Wire is used, it will override or negate any setting of Bank 3 feature #12.

3 Dark Blue Wire: (-) 300mA Pulsed Channel 3 Output (Trunk)

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 three. 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 30 amp automitive relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused +12 Volt source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of channel 3.

4 Brown w/ Black Trace Wire: Positive Inhibit

The Brown w/ Black Trace Wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module whenever it gets +12 Volts. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ BlackTrace 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 Start. 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.

5 Brown Wire: (+) Inhibit Shut Down

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown Wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches +12 Volts when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that vehicle wire to prevent starting while in gear.

6 Gray Wire: (-) Inhibit / Shut Down

Any time ground is applied to the Gray Wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches ground when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that vehicle wire to prevent starting while in gear.

If the vehicle you are working switches ground to the brake light circuit, this wire can be connected 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 Start. 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.

8Black 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. This output is also selectable and can perform an alternate function as shown in feature selection Bank 3 Feature #20.
