BEFORE YOU BEGIN

PROFESSIONAL INST ALLA TION

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Installation Precautions:

Roll down window to avoid locking keys in vehicle during installation

Avoid mounting components or routing wires near hot surfaces

Avoid mounting components or routing wires near moving parts

Tape or loom wires under hood for protection and appearance

Use grommets when routing wires through metal surfaces

Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing and verifying circuits. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT, OR "COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" as these can set off air bags or damage vehicle computers.

7 Pin Main Harness

1 BLACK/WHITE ILLUMINATED ENTR Y OUTPUT ( - )

This wire provides a ( - ) 500mA output for 30 seconds when the system is disarmed capable of driving relays.

Locate the vehicle’s dome light or pin switch wire.

Verification: This wire will register positive voltage or ground when the vehicle's dome light is turned ON.

2 BROWN/BLAC K HORN OUTPUT ( - )

Locate the vehicle’s horn wire.

Verification: This wire will register at positive voltage and register ground when the horn switch is pressed.

Connect the BROWN/BLACK wire to the vehicle’s horn wire. This is a low current output, 500mA.

3 RED/WHITE TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT ( - )

Locate the vehicle’s trunk release wire at the trunk release switch.

Verification: This wire will register either positive voltage or ground when the trunk release is activated.

This is a low current output, 500mA.

4 BLUE/BLACK IGNITION 3 / ACTIVE OUTPUT ( - )

The Active Output/Ignition 3 output wire provides a ground output when the remote start function is activated and remains until 4 seconds after the remote start is shutdown. The Ignition 3 output wire can be used for several functions listed below. If this wire will be used for multiple application's a 1 amp diode is required in-line with the stripe facing the control module.

Factory transponder (coded key) bypass. General Motors VATS bypass, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not

supplied). Ignition 3 output, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not supplied). Accessory 2/3 output, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not

supplied).

5 PURPLE/WHITE TACH INPUT

Locate the vehicle’s ignition coil or fuel injector in the engine compartment.

Verification: Test using the following procedure:

1. Set voltmeter to AC VOLTS.

2. Attach positive lead of a volt meter to a constant 12-volt source.

3. Attach negative lead of a volt meter to the wire to be tested.

4. Start the engine.

5. Have someone press on the gas pedal slightly as you monitor the meter. If connected to the correct wire, the voltage reading will increase as the engine’s RPM increases.

Connect the PURPLE/WHITE wire to the negative side of the vehicle ignition coil or fuel injector.

6 GRAY HOOD PIN INPUT ( - )

Install a Hood Pin Switch and connect to the GRAY wire. This connection is required for Remote Start.

Verification: This wire when connected will register ground when the

vehicle's hood is opened. Connect the GRAY wire to the hood pin. NOTE: Be sure to loom the wire, and seal the grommet.

7 BROWN/RED BRAKE INPUT ( + )

Locate the vehicle’s brake light wire at the brake pedal mounted switch.

Verification: This wire registers positive voltage when the brake pedal is

pressed. Connect the BROWN/RED wire to the vehicle’s brake light wire.

3 Pin Parking Light Harness

1 BLACK GROUND

Connect the BLACK wire to a solid chassis ground point using a ring terminal and self tapping screw (not supplied). Scrape away paint from the grounding point to ensure a good connection. The recommended grounding point is a metal surface in the driver’s side kick panel area.

NOTE: Do not ground the BLACK wire with any other vehicle components. 2 WHITE/RED PARKING LIGHT INPUT

3 WHITE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT Locate the parking light output wire at the vehicle’s light switch.

Verification: This wire registers positive voltage when the parking lights are

turned on. Positive switching Parking Lights:

Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a 15 Amp max fused battery source.

Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire. Negative switching Parking Lights:

Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a good chassis ground.

Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire.

6 Pin Start Harness

1 PURPLE STARTER OUTPUT ( + )

Locate the vehicle starter wire.

Verification: This wire registers voltage only when the key is turned to the START position.

Verification:

The starter wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the START position.

Connect the PURPLE wire to the vehicle starter wire.

2 RED BATTERY 12V ( + )

Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch.

Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition switch.

Connect the RED wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire.

NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.

3 ORANGE ACCESSORY 1 ( + )

Locate the vehicle’s accessory wire at the ignition switch.

Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to ACC

(Accessory) and the ON (or RUN) position. The voltage drops out when the

key is turned to the START (or CRANK) position. Connect the ORANGE wire to the vehicle’s accessory wire.

4 PINK/WHITE IGNITION 2 ( + )

Locate the vehicle’s 2nd ignition wire at the ignition switch (if equipped).

Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the ON (or

RUN) position, but not the ACC (Accessory) position. The voltage does not

drop out when the key is turned to the START (or CRANK) position. Connect the PINK/WHITE wire to the vehicle’s ignition 2 wire. Programmable output: IGN, ACC, Start.
