step 1

Ground Wire

The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground.

First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK

wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.

Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel.

Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal

to the metal area. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure

a good connection.

note: More problems are attributed to poor ground connections than any other cause. Take extra care to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal contact and secure.

step 2

Constant Power and Ignition wires

Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key

cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the

appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care

not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily

check for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition

harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of

thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your LED

tester to find your power and ignition wires.

Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in

warning! On vehicles with air bags or supplemental restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow tube with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamper or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly damages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering may cause unintended deployment of airbags.

the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge

wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can

be obtained at www.designtech-intl.com. With the key in the

OFF position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will

illuminate the Red LED on the test probe.

Once the constant power wire (or wires) has been identified, solder

the two thick RED wires from the control module to it and cover

the connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.

With the black lead still in the kick panel, locate the ignition

wire harness in the same location. It will test differently than

constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the

www.designtech-intl.com web site and then use the LED tester

to probe the suspected wire. With the key in the off position the

LED tester will not illuminate. Turn the key to the on position

and the LED tester will illuminate Red. Now while watching the

warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components.

LED tester, turn the key to the crank position and the LED

tester should not extinguish. If the LED tester extinguishes this

is not an ignition wire but an accessory wire. If the wire tests

correctly, solder the PINK (D) relay wire to it and cover the

connection with electrical tape.

If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site

information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick

PINK/WHITE (F) relay wire to it and be sure to wrap the

connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only 1 igni-

tion source, secure the PINK/WHITE out of the way.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, additional

relays (not provided) are required. Refer to the diagram below.

17

step 3

Accessory and Starter wires

The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness

as the ignition and constant power.

To find the accessory wire leave the LED tester black lead

connected to the metal ground, take the red lead and probe the

wire suspected to be the accessory. With the key off, your LED

tester should not illuminate. Turn the key to the on position and

the LED tester should be illuminated Red. Now turn the key to

the crank position. If you have the correct accessory wire the LED

will extinguish while the starter is cranking and return once the

key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip the

suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information

on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your LED tester on the

wire. With the key in the off position the LED tester should be

extinguished in all key positions except the crank position. In

the crank position your LED tester should illuminate Red, and

will extinguish when the starter disengages.

Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half (

cchheecckk tthhee wweebb

iinnffoorrmmaattiioonn bbeeffoorree ccuuttttiinngg

) and try to start the vehicle. If the vehicle

does not start, the correct wire has been identified. Reconnect both

ends of the starter wire while soldering the thick VIOLET (A) relay

wire to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Many Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. Relays (not provided)

are required to hook up the additional starter wire. Refer to the

diagram below.

nnoottee::

Always check the Web site information on your vehicle for warnings regarding the starter wire and check engine lights. Some vehicles will trip a check engine light if the starter wire is cut.

20

step 4

Safety Shutdown Wires

With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate

safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin wires.

First locate the factory brake wire using your LED tester. Find

the switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake

pedal. There are usually two wires connected to that switch.

Locate the wire color according to the web information. With

your black lead still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire

important! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They must be connected appropriately to prevent damage to the vehicle and possible bodily injury.

22

Place the wire with the spade connector onto the pin switch and

run the wire into the vehicle’s passenger compartment through a

factory rubber grommet. Using a sharp, pointed object poke a

hole into the grommet and attach the wire to the object with

electrical tape. Pull the wire through the grommet taking extra

care to keep the wire away from any moving parts or anything

that will generate extreme heat. Once the wire is run into the

vehicle and secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to

the GRAY (H1/4) wire on the main wire connector and wrap

the connection with electrical tape.

The bypass toggle switch is designed to bypass the remote start

in an emergency or to disable the remote start functions

temporarily (i.e., for service on the vehicle or when parking in an

enclosed area). This switch is to be mounted in an easily acces-

sible location in the passenger compartment.

Connect the toggle switch as shown below. The Gray (H1/4)

wire to the hood pin switch, and the Black wire from the switch

to ground. The toggle switch must be in the Off position for

normal operation.

warning! This wire MUST be connected. Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the operation of the hood pin shutdown. Improper operation could result injury or death.

step 5

Parking light flash (optional)

There are several different types of parking light circuits. The

following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking

light circuit, only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)

parking light circuit, the fusible jumper (under the sliding door

on the control module) must be moved to the opposite position.

The default position for this jumper is for a positive parking

light. Refer to the LED test probe procedures if you have a negative

parking light circuit.

note: When parking lights are connected, they will flash for the whole time that remote start is active.

Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected

wire and place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal

surface in the kick panel area and secure it. Probe the suspected

wire. With the switch in the off position the LED tester should

be extinguished. While watching the LED tester, turn the switch

to the parking light position. The LED tester should illuminate

Red. While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer

light control up and down — the voltage should NOT vary

(LED tester illumination). If the voltage does vary, continue

probing to find the correct wire.

Once you have identified the correct wire, strip a small portion

of insulation off this wire and solder the WHITE (H1/8) wire

from the main connector to it and wrap the connection with

electrical tape.

important! If the WEB vehicle information requires using resistors for parking lights, contact Directed Technical Support.

25

step 6

Engine monitoring (voltage—default setting)

During remote start the system will need to know if the engine

is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of

the vehicle’s electrical system (or the tachometer-see next topic).

When the vehicle is not running the electrical system is approx-

imately 12 volts. The system detects the engine running when

the voltage increases by 1 volt above the resting battery voltage.

The remote start system monitors the increase to prevent the

starter from cranking when the vehicle is already running.

If the remote start system sees the voltage drop by 1/2V the

system assumes the engine is not running and will shut down the

Ignition/Accessory circuit.

On some vehicles the electrical system has too low of a voltage

variance for the remote start module to see. In this case the

engine will start but will only run for about ten seconds. If this

is the case, it will be necessary to use the tachometer.

➜

26

Engine monitoring (tachometer—optional)

Identify the suspect wire according to the web information.

Place the black lead of the multi-meter on the negative battery

post and secure it. Put the multi-meter in the AC position and

connect the probe to the suspect wire with the red lead of the

multi-meter. Then start the vehicle with the key. With the

engine at idle the multi-meter should read between .65 volts to

1.5 volts.

Have a second person press the gas pedal to increase the RPMs

and watch the meter display. When the RPMs increase the

voltage should rise slightly. (Not all tachometer outputs will rise

when the engine RPMs increase). Once the correct tachometer

wire has been identified, turn the vehicle off.

note! In the following procedure do NOT use the LED tester. Use of this tester can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components causing damage, including damage to the power train control module. Use a digital multimeter to test for this wire.

warning! In the following procedure do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled in rotating engine components. Ensure that your hands and arms are well clear of these rotating components when working in the engine compartment. Lastly, ensure that all wires and tools are clear of falling into or entanglement with these rotating components.

27

Run the VIOLET/WHITE (H1/2) wire from the main

connector through the firewall into the engine compartment

along side the hood pin wire. Use the same procedure as with the

hood pin wire and pull the wire through the grommet taking

extra care to keep it away from any moving parts or anything

that will generate extreme heat. Once the wire is run into the

engine compartment, strip a small portion of insulation off the

tachometer wire and solder it to the VIOLET/WHITE wire and

wrap the connection with electrical tape. Pull on the wire to

ensure a good connection.

step 7

Factory Alarm Disarm

Since some newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm

system, it maybe necessary for the factory alarm to be disarmed

when remote starting the vehicle. Most vehicles have a (-) disarm

trigger.

Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site vehicle

information. Once the suspect wires are located, place the red

note: Some vehicles use a + trigger system. Use the www.designtech-intl.com website to determine if your vehicle has a + trigger system. If this vehicle has this system call

11--880000--447777--11338822

lead of the LED tester to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure

it. Probe the suspect wire with the LED tester. While probing

the wire, place the key in the drivers door cylinder. Turn it to the

unlock position and hold it when testing for the disarm wire.

The LED tester should illuminate Green and will extinguish

when the key is released.

When the correct wire has been found, strip a small portion of

insulation off this wire and solder the small LIGHT

GREEN/BLACK (H1/7) wire to this wire. Wrap the connection

with electrical tape.

step 8

Immobilizer Bypass Modules

Most newer vehicles have a factory engine immobilizer system

designed to prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle. These

immobilizers will cut off power to the starter and the fuel supply

preventing a thief from starting the vehicle.

There are several types of immobilizers, with the most common

being the resistance based passlock/passlock 2 systems found on

most newer GM vehicles. This system can be bypassed using the

555L immobilizer bypass module available at your local retail

note: Any vehicle equipped with a factory immobilizer must use an immobilizer bypass module to remote start. If not used, the vehicle ignition or fuel supply circuits could lock up and require a costly trip to the dealer to reset the computer system.

➜

29

dealer. The majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems

can be bypassed using the 555U/556U immobilizer bypass

module available at your local retail dealer.

The BLUE wire (H1/1) of the primary harness supplies a

200mA output as soon as the control module begins the remote

start process. This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer

bypass unit.

To determine what bypass module your vehicle requires, use the

www.designtech-intl.com web-site in the Interface Module Look-

Up section. To locate the nearest dealer to you, use the Dealer

Locator which is also on the web-site, or call 1-800-274-0200.

step 9

The system comes with one programmed transmitter. The

receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory.

Additional transmitters (part no. 26131) can be ordered by

contacting your local dealer at 1-800-274-0200. Use the

following to add a transmitter to the system.

The following is the basic sequence of steps to remember whenever

programming transmitters:
