PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS

BRAKES, ENGINE / BODY COMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLAN OUT YOUR INSTALLATION and determine most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components

include: the module itself, valet/program button, possible relays, and antenna/receiver (RS-1, RS-3 and RS-4 only, the RS-00
model does not include antenna or remotes.) Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing be
required. This will also allow easier access and mounting.

DAMAGE to the CoolStart unit resulting from incorrect installation or failure to follow guidelines stated in this book will not be
covered under warranty and will be subject to repair or replacement charges.

USE A VOLT OHM METER to test and locate all connections. Test Lights can damage a vehicle’s computer systems.
ADDITIONAL PARTS, which are not included with this unit, may be needed for your particular vehicle. These items may include

extra relays or Anti-Theft System Bypass modules.

INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

FOR SAFETY REASONS, DO NOT INSTALL in vehicles with MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.** If accidentally left in

gear, a remote started vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.
DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all ignition

switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor or improper performance.
DO NOT route any wiring that may become entangled with brake, gas pedals, steering column or any other moving parts

in the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning will

result in damage to the unit not covered under warranty.
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage! Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate

ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.

WIRING

YELLOW WHITE: (-) HORN CHIRP HONK OUTPUT

Connect to the LOW CURRENT Negative Horn Trigger wire usually located near the steering column. If the vehicle horn
circuit requires 12V, then a relay is required. RELAY WIRING: Connect the Yellow/White wire to terminal #85, connect
relay terminals #86 and #87 to 12V constant power. Connect terminal #30 to the 12V positive Horn activation wire.

BLACK: MAIN SYSTEM GROUND

Connect to chassis metal of the vehicle. An existing bolt or screw may provide an adequate ground, or drill a small hole,
scrape away paint and attach using a sheet metal screw & star washer. This wire must be connected to a proper ground
or undesirable and inconsistent operation will occur. Do not use Factory ground locations.

YELLOW BLACK: (-) IGNITION OUTPUT -or- ANTI-GRIND/STARTER DISABLE OUTPUT

This negative output wire is programmable and can function two different ways. It can be used as a Negative Ignition
output for GM Anti-theft and Transponder Bypass modules, or it can be programmed to function as an Anti grind/Starter
Disable output. As a Negative Ignition wire, this wire turns on when the remote start button is pressed and stays on
through the duration of the remote start. As an Anti grind/Starter disable this wire activates when the Lock button on the
remote is pressed and during remote start. When using this wire for an Anti grind/Starter disable, an optional Relay is
needed to interrupt the Starter circuit. The starter disable circuit adds an anti-theft feature to this remote start system and
prevents accidental grinding of the starter if key is turned too far after a remote start. See diagrams on NEXT PAGE.

WIRING

GREEN: (-) START ACTIVATION INPUT, OEM INTERFACE or TURBO TIMER INPUT

See descriptions & diagrams below.

Mode (1) [Default (-) Neg. Start Activation] This wire
allows a host (or parent) alarm’s or keyless entry system
to activate a Remote Start by sending a 1-Second
Negative signal to the Green input wire to trigger a
remote engine start or stop. Connect the Green wire to
the host system’s Auxiliary channel output wire.

Mode (2) [Alternate OEM Interface] This mode allows the
system to Remote Start or Stop when 3 successive
Negative pulses are sent to the Green input wire.
Connect the Green input wire to the Negative lock signal
wire of the factory system. If your Factory OEM system
does not have this type of signal, then a relay is required.

TURBO TIMER INPUT [3 Modes, Option #22 ] This wire
allows the system to keep a vehicle running for 1-5
minutes [selectively] after removing the key. This mode
requires the use of a momentary switch that is not
included with the kit. Connect a 2-pole momentary
switch with one side to chassis Ground and the other
side to the Green input wire. If you own a turbo or turbo
diesel vehicle, you can now allow the CoolStart system to
keep your engine running for 1-5 minutes after
exiting/locking your vehicle to cool-down without the need
for an external Turbo Timer.

NOTE: The turbo timer button will also trigger a
remote start if it is inadvertently pressed when the
vehicle is not running. Please note this when installing the button and choose a location out of harm’s way.

WIRING

GRAY: (-) NEGATIVE HOOD PIN SWITCH REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMMING

Connect the Gray wire to a switch that is at ground when the hood is open. If an existing switch is not available, then we
recommend one to be installed. When this wire is grounded, the remote start is inhibited. The unit will not attempt to start
if hood is open. The hood pin is also used for Option programming.

PINK: NEGATIVE GLOW PLUG

Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (-) Signal while the WAIT TO START LAMP is on. When this wire is
used, the system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote start.

PURPLE: (12V) BRAKE RESET

Connect the Purple wire to the side of brake pedal switch that shows 12 volts ONLY when pedal is depressed. This is the
wire that turns off the remote start once the driver’s key is in the Ignition and turned to the ON position.

ORANGE BLACK: (-) OEM DISARM OUTPUT

This wire provides a Ground pulse to disarm the vehicles' Factory anti-theft system prior to a Remote Start. Connect this
wire to the vehicles' anti-theft disarm wire. This wire is sometimes found coming off the Driver's door key switch or at the
Factory Anti-theft control module. This wire may not be needed if Factory Security only requires a door unlock pulse.

ORANGE: (-) OEM REARM OUTPUT

This wire provides a ground pulse to rearm the vehicles' FACTORY anti-theft system after a timed-out or aborted remote
start. Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft rearm wire or to the door pin circuit depending on your requirements.
This wire may be needed to pulse the door pin circuit on vehicles with retained accessory power.

WHITE: 12V or (-) NEGATIVE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT:

Connect to vehicle parking light circuit at the back of light switch or if this is not possible, connect directly to one of the
parking lights at the front of the vehicle. If your vehicle has a multiplex lighting system that requires a (-) Negative parking
light output, then open the access door on the top of the module and move the jumper. See Jumper Pin section. Some
European vehicles require separate left and right circuits. Use a dual relay or diodes to isolate the output. Note the
current limit on the Negative parking light output. You may require an external relay to prevent damage to the unit.

(1) Default parking light output is 12 volts.
(2) Use an external relay for vehicles that draw excess current from extra running lights, light bars, or trailers.
Parking light output is limited to (+) 10 amps or (-) 500 mA only.

RED WHITE: TACHOMETER INPUT

When installing the system in Tach mode, this wire must be connected to a valid source of AC voltage. This wire allows
the unit to sense the engine running and control the starter motor.

PROGRAM OVERRIDE SWITCH: 2 PIN PLUG (REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMMING & LEARNING REMOTES)

This switch is used for programming features, transmitters, valet mode, and to override the optional starter disable (if
installed) in the event of a non-operating remote control.

LED: 2 PIN PLUG OPTIONAL

The LED is used as a VALET/PROGRAMMING indicator and it will also FLASH for use as security deterrent when the
optional ANTI-GRIND/STARTER DISABLE output is programmed.

VALET / PROGRAM SWITCH

STATUS LED

WIRING: 6-PIN HIGH-CURRENT CONNECTOR

BROWN: 12V STARTER OUTPUT 30A:

Connect to circuit in the vehicle that has power ONLY while the STARTER MOTOR is CRANKING.

GRAY: 12V ACCESSORY OUTPUT 30A:

Connect to circuit in the vehicle that provides Accessory Power for systems such as HEAT and A/C. Typically, this wire
turns ON with the first position of the key, DROPS OUT WHEN CRANKING, then returns as the engine starts and runs.

(2) RED: 12V POWER INPUT WIRES (30A Fused):
Connect to both of these leads to 12V Constant Power. We recommend the BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL.

PINK: 12V IGNITION OUTPUT 30A:

Connect to circuit in the vehicle that provides true Ignition Power for systems such as Spark and Fuel. Typically, this wire
turns ON with the second position of the key, STAYS ON WHEN CRANKING, and continues ON as the vehicle runs.

PINK WHITE: 12V MULTIFUNCTION OUTPUT 30A (JUMPER SELECTABLE):

This is an optional multi-function output wire the can be configured as a Second IGN, ACC or STARTER output. Some
vehicles require more than just one IGN, ACC, or STARTER wire in order to start and run successfully. If this is the case
for your particular vehicle, then use the jumper pin located under the access panel on the top of the CoolStart control
module to configure this wire to suit your needs. The DEFAULT setting is IGNITION. See Jumper Pin Diagram page 24.

POWER DOOR LOCK WIRING CONNECTOR

BLUE: (-) Negative pulse for UNLOCK
RED: 12V When using external relays (TERM 86)
GREEN: (-) Negative pulse for LOCK

DETERMINING DOOR LOCK TYPE: We recommend
determining the type of locking system the vehicle has before
connecting any wires. Incorrect connection may result in
damage to the alarm and/or vehicle locking system. Door lock
information is provided as a guide. Your vehicle may differ.

Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors

Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.

Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth

Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the vehicle
doors.

Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks

Reverse Polarity systems use no relays, but instead the door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock
and unlock switches in the door. The lock and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the lock
or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits is “Lifted” and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to occur.

Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000-UP GM

Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground
current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock
module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire door lock systems
require relays and resistors.

Databus Systems 2003-UP GM Trucks & SUV’s, ‘96-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Databus systems send low current “Data messages” to the door lock controllers on a network in order to lock and unlock
the vehicle. To install aftermarket systems in these vehicles, an interface module is required that converts the regular
lock/unlock pulses into “Data messages” to allow locking & unlocking. Interface modules are sold separately.

Crimestopper Door Lock Accessories:
CS-6600DLM: Dual-relay plug-in module for Reverse

Polarity, Positive, or Aftermarket Motors.
CS-6500DLI: Plug-in pulse inverter that converts the
Negative outputs of the system to Positive type for Positive
Door Lock systems.
CS-610S1: Aftermarket door lock actuator (motor).
