primary harness (H1), 12-pin connector

The primary harness is the standard 12-pin harness used by DEI security systems. Two pins in the harness do not

have wires (H1/5 and H1/7). The functions of all the wires that are used in the primary harness are outlined in

this section. The wire connections are described in the Primary Harness (H1) Wire Connection Guide section.

starter kill harness (H3), 2-pin connector

primary harness (H1) wire connection guide

This wire supplies (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is dis-

armed. This wire can be used to turn on an optional sensor or to ready an optional accessory, such as a pager module.

This wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. This output is protected with a 10 amp fuse. Never

increase the value of the light flash fuse. If more current is required, use an external relay.

NOTE: When connecting this wire to a (-) parking light wire, a relay is required. See the following diagram for the relay application.

H1/2 WHITE (+) light flash output

H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output

BLACK STARTER KILL OUTPUT

BLACK STARTER KILL INPUT

H3/1

H3/2

This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received. This

output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as 551T Valet® Start system,

529T or 530T power window controllers, etc.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything except a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only provide 200 mA of current, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below:

IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, because the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs.

This output is used for progressive door unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's door when the

unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm) button is pressed again

within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a low current (-) pulse on the second

press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative unlock output is used to unlock the passenger doors.

Please refer to the Type A Progressive Door Unlock and Type B Progressive Door Unlock diagrams in the Door Lock

Harness (H2) Wire Connection Guide section of this manual.

Connect the H1/8 BLACK wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw (screws

tend to either strip or loosen with time). We recommend grounding all your components to the same point in

the vehicle.

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

H1/6 BLUE (-) 200mA second unlock output

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) domelight supervision relay output

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) channel 3 output

Connect this wire to an ignition source. This input must show (+)12V with the key in run position and during

cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire will trigger the system

if the ignition is turned on before the unit is disarmed (doors unlocked with the remote). It will also honk the

vehicle’s horn and flash the parking lights (if connected).

NOTE: Feature 4 (Security Features) must be turned on in order for this wire to trigger the system. See Features Menu section of this guide.

This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn. It outputs a single pulse to

confirm that the doors are locked if the lock button on the remote is pressed more than once. It also outputs

two pulses to confirm that the doors are unlocked if the unlock button on the remote is pressed more than two

times. This wire also outputs pulses for 30 seconds whenever the Panic Mode is activated. If the vehicle has a

(+) horn circuit, an outboard relay can be used to interface with the system, as shown in the following diagram.

H1/10 BROWN (-) horn honk output

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input

Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the positive battery terminal or the constant

12V supply to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V power. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

When the system receives the transmitter code controlling Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white

wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch

release or other relay-driven functions.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

plug-in LED and valet/program switch

The LED and the Valet/Program switch both plug into the control module. The status LED plugs into the white

two-pin port, while the Valet

/Program switch should be plugged into the blue two-pin port. The status LED and

Valet

/Program switch each fit into 9/32-inch holes.

door lock harness (H2) wire connection guide

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems

drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly. (Some vehicles require that an after-

market actuator be added to the driver’s door to allow system control, see Type D wiring section).

The easiest way to determine which type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the master

locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on the center console. Once you have determined

which type of factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color codes of the switch wires to be used,

you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires in the vehicle’s kick panel. If no central

locking switch is found, the installation may require a door lock actuator.

NOTE: Always retest the wires in the kick panel to be sure they function the same way as the wires on the switch.

There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual systems):

■ Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn,

some new VW, newer BMW.

■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and

Porsche.

■ Type C: Directly-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type

of system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers.

■ Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include slave systems without an actuator in the

driver’s door, but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks,

which will have actuators added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and

many Mazdas. Some mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

■ Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems. The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make

sure that locking the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in

the vehicle. This requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and

newer.

■ Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock. This system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras,

some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in older Mitsubishis, and some early

Mazda MPV’s.

■ Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehi-

cles.

■ Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehi-

cles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
