Before You Get

Ƈ On vehicles with a manual Transmission,

always ensure that all Doors will get the Unit out of Ready Mode. Switch the wire used so that it is triggered by all Doors. Ƈ Make sure that the Parking Brake and Door Switch contacts work properly. Ƈ When working on a vehicle, always leave a window open. Ƈ Never leave the keys in the car. Leave them on a workbench with a window rolled down. Ƈ Remove courtesy light fuse, if possible, to prevent battery drain.

Ƈ Inspect vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems

Ƈ Always solder and tape all connections. Ƈ Keep the Transceiver away from other types

of antennas (GPS/Onstar). Ƈ Never install the control unit where it could interfere with normal operation or obstruct service technicians. Ƈ Always use a grommet when running wires into the Engine compartment. Never run wires through bare or sharp metal. Ƈ Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios. Ƈ Never ground the control unit to the vehicle’s steering column. Ƈ Make sure that all the switches and controls operate properly.

Ƈ Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly. Ƈ Make sure that all safety equipment is installed:

the Valet Button, the Hood Switch and the warning label

…

Ƈ When wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate

each connection with a diode in order to avoid feedback and possible damage.

Examples: Wiring a clutch bypass and a Transponder Module to the Ground Out when Running wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out

when running “splits” and goes to each device, a diode is inserted on each of those lines.

Multiple or Separate Door pin Connections:

When joining all door pins together to the Door pin input wire of the Module, each wire must be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback. N.B.: The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are use to isolate. Please note that there are numerous other scenarios where diode isolation is required.

Ƈ Always make sure that any external relays

or modules added to the Remote Starter Module are properly fused, and diode isolated.

Ƈ When testing the Shock Sensor, never test

on glass with an opened hand, and never hit glass hard enough as to break it. When testing on Metal or plastic, make sure the testing does not result in damage to the vehicle (i.e.: dents, broken glass, damaged trims, etc.).

Ƈ Vehicles equipped with daytime running

lights may not allow the installer to view certain programming results since the daytime running lights do no go out (Note: The Parking Light output relay in the Module gives two “clicks” per flash, 1 click for ON and 1 click for OFF).

Ƈ Parking Light flashes referred to in this

manual refer to the Parking Light output of the Module and not that of the vehicle.

Harness Description

When connecting the Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the Ground wire is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be powered before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the unit. Be careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded. To avoid any accident, it is a recommended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the installation, and to put them back during the very last steps.

5-Pin Secondary Harness

Wire Description

This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or true Body ground). It is preferable to use a factory ground bolt rather than a selftapping screw. Screws tend to get loose or rusted over time and can

cause erratic problems.

This wire tells the Module if the Engine is running or not. It requires at least

1.8 volts (AC) and 1.5 Hz (or faster) at idle. Common Tach references are: the negative side of an injector, the negative side of an Ignition Coil, Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor or the Engine Control Module (ECM).

NOTE: A Tach signal that is too low will cause the Module to “over crank” and a Tach signal that is too high will cause the Module to

The unit is equipped with a selectable passive- or active-arming Starter Kill circuit that will immobilize the vehicle when the system is

armed. This wire will provide a constant 500-mA negative output when the system is armed (locked by remote) or if remote started. This wire should be connected to a Single Pole Double-Throw Relay (This wire will connect to Pin 85, on the Relay, and Pin 86 will be connected to the Ignition wire). A second benefit of the Starter Kill is the Anti-Grind feature. When the vehicle has been remote started the Anti-Grind prevents the starter motor from re-engaging when the ignition key is inserted in the Ignition

switch and accidentally turned to the

CRANK position (The Starter Kill

output becomes active during remote starts).

This is a 500-mA constant ground output that is active when the vehicle is running under a remote start. The output becomes active at the same time as the Ignition, and becomes inactive when the Module shuts down (i.e.: runtime has expired or the

STOP button is pressed, etc.). The

output can be used to activate external relays, bypass kits, etc. CAUTION! If multiple relays or modules are connected to the Ground Out wire, ensure that they are all diode isolated in order to avoid feedback and damaging the vehicle.

This input should be used in vehicles that use a negative-switching Dome Light circuit. Connect to a Dome Light wire testing ground with a Door open. CAUTION! You can only use a negative or a positive connection. In other words, only the NEGATIVE DOOR INPUT or the POSITIVE DOOR INPUT wire is connected. It is essential that the Module be connected in such a way as to allow each one of the Doors to turn off Ready Mode: the driver-side Door Pin does not constitute by itself a

sufficient connection.

AS-6105 SH Installation Guide P.7

This positive input will monitor the Glow Plug Light in Diesel Mode: it will wait until the Glow Plug Light goes out to crank the Engine. Connect to the side of the Glow Plug Light that is positive when the Light is on. Note: In Diesel Mode there is a 18-sec. crank timing delay (or approximately 25-sec. if the run time is set to 30 min.): if the Glow Plug Light is still on after the delay expires, the Module will proceed to start the Engine.

(Also known as the “wait-to-start light”.) The purpose of the Glowplug circuit on diesel vehicles is to pre-heat the Combustion Chamber before the vehicle is started. When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle, the Glowplug section of the Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate before the vehicle is remote-started. For that purpose, the Glow-plug input wire of the Module must be connected to the Glow-plug indicator light of the vehicle. The Module will only accept positive Glow-plug input signals, if the signal is negative, use a relay to invert its polarity. A diode must be added between the negative Glow-plug trigger on the relay and the negative Glow-plug wire of the car. This is to prevent feedback effects on the Glowplug indicator light on the instrument cluster: the light on the dash

YELLOW (+) Glow-

plug Light

input

would come on because of the feedback, even though the circuit is off.

When the user remote-starts the vehicle:

x The Module will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the

Starter Motor while the Glow-plug indicator light is still on.

x The Module will engage the Starter Motor as soon as the Glow-plug

light (+) goes out.

x Minimum waiting time is 3 seconds. x Maximum waiting time is 25 seconds (approx.).

If no Glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the Glow-plug input on the Module may be “timed out”. The Module will power up the Ignition and Glow-plug circuits and simply wait for the time-out before starting:

x Connecting the Glow-plug input wire of the Module to Ignition will

hold the ignition

ON for the maximum waiting time of approximately

25 sec. (recommended).

x Keeping the Glow-plug input wire of the Module unconnected will

hold the ignition

ON for the minimum waiting time (3 sec., not

recommended in very cold environments).

Connect the Glow-plug wire to the Ignition wire only after Tach has been programmed (i.e.: Connecting the Glow-plug wire is one of the very last steps in the installation process).

Turn the IGNITION to OFF.

2. Press and hold the LOCK button until the vehicle gives 5 flashes. The Module has stored the Transmitter in its memory.

3. Close the Hood, to exit.

Table 1

The Module has the ability to retain up to 4 different Transmitter codes; if a fifth Transmitter is programmed, the code of the first Transmitter will be erased from memory. To erase all

Transmitter codes from memory, you must perform a Module reset (See “Resetting the Module” on page 18 ).

To program the Transmitter on a second vehicle (Multi-car Operation),

you must press the TRUNK button (of the secondary Transmitter you wish to program) during step 2 of Transmitter Programming.

How to Enter Options Programming Mode

The System is equipped with three custom Programming Modes, allowing the installer to custom-fit the system according to the requirements of each vehicle. When getting into the Programming Option Mode, the Parking Lights and the Siren will flash and chirp once, twice or three times depending on the option you have entered. The unit will stay in Programming Mode until the Hood Pin-switch or the Brake Pedal is pressed again. Therefore take your time to make the proper selection. To return to the Programming Centre (Main Menu), press on the Brake Pedal.

1. FLASH the Hood Pin Switch.

Before the 20 seconds have passed,

2. Press and hold the Brake Pedal, then press one of the following buttons on the

Transmitter:

x LOCK to enter Mode 1; x UNLOCK to enter Mode 2; or x TRUNK to enter Mode 3.

The Parking Lights and the Siren will flash and chirp once, twice or 3 times to confirm entry into a Mode.

3. Release the Brake Pedal.

Auto Tach Programming Procedure

NOTE:

If no tach has been programmed and the START button is pressed, there will be no start attempt and the vehicle will give 5 flashes. If another Tach Programming is required, simply repeat the Auto Tach Programming Procedures. The Module stores the Tach setting, being Auto Tach or conventional Tach, until the Module is reset.

This process can be carried out instead of the conventional Tach Programming Procedure.

1. Make sure all the connections are done properly and that the Module has been powered-up.

2. With the Hood up (Ground on the Hood Pin line), start the vehicle using the key.

3. Let the Engine reach proper idle speed

The Parking Light output from the Module is activated when the vehicle starts and it will shut off once the Tach signal is detected.

4. Press and hold the Brake Pedal until the Parking Light output from the Module flashes 5 times.

5. Turn the Ignition OFF. At this point, the Tach setting has been programmed.

Lights flash five times, release the Brake Pedal: the Tach signal is now programmed. x The Horn/Siren will sound1, 2 or 3 times depending on the Tach mode which has

been detected.

Table 6

Testing

Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.

1. Remote-start the Engine and listen for Starter drag. If the Starter cranks for too long, carry out another Tach learning procedure.

2. Test Hood Switch shutdown: with the vehicle running under the Remote Starter, open the Hood; the vehicle should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the Hood Pin-switch and its connector.

3. Test the Brake shutdown circuit: With the vehicle running under the Remote Starter, press and release the Brake Pedal. The Engine should shut down immediately. If the Engine continues to run, check the Brake Switch connection.

4. OEM Alarm Control: Make sure the Module is able to arm and disarm the OEM Alarm (if applicable).

5. Alarm Testing: Arm the vehicle and test the Hood Pin and each Door to make sure that each one of these points triggers the Alarm.

6. Door Locks, Auxiliary Outputs and Trunk Testing: Make sure each of these options respond to the Transmitter (if they were installed).

7. Shock sensors:

x Mounting Shock Sensor: Mount the sensor in the most central location

on the vehicle as to allow the sensor to detect vibration equally from each side of the vehicle. Two common places to mount the sensor are Wire harnesses or metal braces located under the Dashboard/Center Console.

x Setting: Turning the dial clockwise increases the sensor’s sensitivity and

turning the dial counter-clockwise decreases the sensor’s sensitivity.

x Testing: Make sure the Hood and the Doors are closed. Arm the Alarm

and wait approximately 10 seconds to let the vehicle “settle”. A light “tap” on the vehicle should NOT trigger either the Alarm or the Warn

P.14 Installation Guide AS-6105 SH

Away. A medium “tap” should trigger the Warn Away. A hard “tap” should trigger the Alarm.

x All vehicles are different and therefore transmit shock level differently, if

you are unable to set both zones to your satisfaction, referrer to p.12 (Function 4 – Shock Sense / Warn Away

x ) to disable the appropriate zone(s). x When the Engine is running after remote start the Shock Sensor will not

trigger an Alarm condition, although it will still produce warning chirps if Warn-away is enabled.

8. Two-Stage Disarm: When the vehicle is in an alarm condition, pressing the

UNLOCK

button mutes the Siren, pressing the UNLOCK button a second time disarms the Module.

9. Starter Kill option: Sit inside the vehicle with all the Doors closed. Arm the vehicle and then try to start the vehicle with the key –it should not start. If the vehicle starts, rewire the starter kill so it functions properly.

10. Valet Mode: Make sure the Module is able to enter and exit Valet Mode properly. When setting the Module into Valet mode, the Starter Kill function is disabled, when pressing

LOCK the Doors will lock but the Starter Kill will not be activated. (Refer to

User Guide for more information on Valet Mode).

11. Idle Mode: Make sure the vehicle properly goes into Idle Mode.

Closing Up

Use tie-wraps or screws to properly secure the Module and keep the wiring away from any moving parts such as the Parking Brakes or Steering Column Shafts. Mount all switches in good and accessible locations where they do not risk getting kicked or hit accidentally. Any under hood wiring should be split loomed and tie strapped away from moving parts and heat sources. Always make all your connections before plugging in the Module. Keep in mind to plug the fuses as the last step before the initial powering of the Module. Be sure to test all functions properly before closing up the installation. Make sure the Warning Label is applied on a visible place under the Hood. Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save time and money.

Supplementary Information

Fifth Relay Output (2

This Remote Starter is equipped with a high-current programmable 5th relay onboard that can be used to power a second Ignition, Accessory, or Start wire. The Unit uses a series of jumpers; each set of jumper pins represents a function. In order to activate any one of the three possible 2nd outputs, you must place the jumper (supplied) on one of the three sets of pins and simply connect the 14 AWG wire to the second

wire of the vehicle.

AS-6105 SH Installation Guide P.15

Caution!

Do not use more than one of the three sets of jumper pins simultaneously. The relay output rating on this Unit is 25A max output. Defective OEM solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60A, causing the 30A fuse to blow. Using a digital voltmeter, check the Starter wire for amperage when vehicle is cranking.

Ignition-Controlled Door Locks

x Ignition Lock disabled: turns OFF the Ignition Lock feature. x Ignition Lock enabled: locks all Doors when the key is in the ON position and the user

presses the Brake Pedal. Similarly, when the Ignition key is turned to the OFF position, the Doors will unlock.

x Ignition Lock Only: the system will only lock all Doors when the Ignition Key is turned

to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and Brake Pedal is pressed.

x Ignition Unlock Only: the system will unlock all Doors when the Key is turned to the

OFF position, provided the Ignition Key was in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and the

Brake Pedal was pressed at least once.

Table 7

Secure Lock

(OFF by default.) For vehicles where the OEM Alarm can be controlled the through the OEM

LOCK and UNLOCK

wires, Secure Lock saves the installer from connecting the ARM and DISARM wires and the

LOCK and UNLOCK wires to the OEM LOCK and UNLOCK wires.

Upon receiving a remote start signal the system will unlock the Doors (disarming the OEM Alarm); 1/2 sec after the remote start, the system will

LOCK the Doors.

Please note: most factory Alarm systems will not rearm while the Engine is running but will lock the Doors.

4 seconds after the Module shuts off (i.e.: runtime expired or pressing the Secure Lock will

LOCK (once more) all the Doors of the vehicle and REARM the OEM Alarm.

Smart Secure Lock operates as follows:

x If the Alarm is armed and the Starter Kill is armed, a remote start signal will be accompanied by an UNLOCK and a DISARM pulse preceding start-up. The system will LOCK and arm again once the Engine is running. x If the Vehicle is initially unlocked, a remote start signal will start the Engine and enable the Starter Kill without unlocking or locking the Doors.

Table 8

Turbo Mode

This Option allows turbochargers to idle down: after the user leaves the vehicle, the Engine will keep running for 60 sec. and then shut down (It is a 1-minute Idle Mode).
