On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or harnesses
marked SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) underneath the steering
column area. DO NOT tamper with these wires in any way, to prevent
personal injury and/or damage to the air bag system.
Battery gases are explosive.
Do not smoke while working near the car’s battery.
Note: Some installers connect a battery charger to the vehicle’s battery during
installation. This is fine, but it must be removed before running the vehicle under
remote starter control.
All General Motors (GM), rear wheel drive vehicles built prior to 1995
with automatic transmissions and Dodge Dakota trucks (4 cylinder
engines only) with automatic transmissions built prior to 1996 have a
MECHANICAL TYPE of NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. See important
warning on the last page of these instructions.
When running the wires through the car’s firewall, be sure to protect
them from sharp metal edges and from hot surfaces on and around the
engine.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before You Start
Take time to read through the whole installation manual before beginning.
Always leave a window open to avoid locking your keys in your car.
IMPORTANT:

drill) a hole in the firewall to run the PURPLE and GREEN wires of the ControlHarness and the PINK wire of the
Power Harness into the engine compartment.
The remaining short wires stay in the passenger area. Leave about a foot of the wire
harness under the dash for ease of working and visual access to the diagnostic light.
The Installation Information section of
www.designtech-intl.com is available 24
hours/day to provide you with free, up-to-date vehicle wiring information for your
particular vehicle after you log in.
Note: Always connect the

Ignition Key Diagram for Steps 4-7
The vehicle’s wires are found coming off of the key switch.
Remove the panel under the steering column to access
these wires.
4. Blue Wire (14 AWG) – Ignition 1
Connect the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This wire will measure
+12 Volts on the test meter in the “run” and
“start” position, and is off in the “lock/
off” and “accessory” positions.
5. Green (14 AWG) – Ignition 2
Connect the GREEN wire to the Ignition 2 wire in the vehicle. The Ignition 2 wire can
function in several different ways in your vehicle. It is important to understand how it
works. The Ignition 2 wire will usually measure +12 Volts in the “run” position and
is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions. In certain vehicles, it may
also show +12 Volts in the “Start” position or Ignition 2 may turn OFF during “Crank”
and turn back ON after the starter disengages. Carefully note the function of the
Ignition 2 wire. If the Ignition 2 turns OFF during “Crank”, set Option #4 (section
23). If Ignition 2 stays ON during “Crank”, no options need to be changed.
6. White Wire (14 AWG) – Accessory
Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12 Volts in the “run” and
“accessory” position, but off in the “start” and “off” positions. In GM vehicles, connect
the white wire to the orange wire that is hot in “run” only.
7. Yellow (14 AWG) – Starter
Connect the
the test meter in the “start” position only.
Note: Most Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. Connect both starter wires of the
vehicle to the
YELLOW wire to the starter wire. This wire will measure +12 Volts on
YELLOW start wire of the remote starter.
8. Plug-In On/0ff Switch
Mount the control switch so that it is easily accessible and so that the “ON” position
is facing upward. Make sure there is enough clearance behind the mounted switch
for the wire connections. Do not let the switch wires touch ground. Do not plug the
switch into the unit until it is mounted first. Connection of this switch is mandatory.
Use a 1/4" drill-bit for the mounting hole.
Plug the ON/OFF control switch into the module just to the right of the power wires.
Turn the switch “on.”
CONTROL HARNESS
ALL WIRES ARE THE SMALLER 18 AWG SIZE
9. Purple Wire – Hood Pin Switch – Control Harness
The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the remote
starter. It prevents operation of the remote starter when
the hood is open and is used to initialize the unit. Connect
the PURPLE wire to the hood pin switch using the red
connector.
Note:
If you already have a hood pin switch which is
being used by a car alarm system, you may share the
wiring – but be sure to diode isolate each wire going to
the hood pin switch with the bands of diodes pointing
towards the pin switch as shown at right.
10. Orange Wire – Brake Shut-off – Control Harness
Connect the ORANGE wire to the brake wire which receives +12 Volts when the brake
pedal is depressed. This wire must be connected. It arms a critical safety feature
which disables the remote starter when the brake pedal is depressed.
Note: In some cars, the ignition must be in the “on” position to test the power in the
brake wire.
Note: If the Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 wires come on whenever the brake is depressed
and the hood is open this just means you need to initialize the unit in section 11.
11. Initializing the Remote Starter
BEFORE THE UNIT WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MUST INITIALIZE
THE REMOTE STARTER
A. Insert the 30 amp fuse into the fuse holder on the large PINK wire.
B. Turn the control switch on.
C. The remote starter requires the installer to open the hood and then press and
hold the brake pedal. Note: The ignition/dash lights will come on if the unit is
not initialized.
D. While depressing the brake (with the engine off and the hood open) turn the
ignition key to the “RUN” (not “start”) position.
E. Put the car in “DRIVE” from the “PARK” position.
F. Put the car back in “PARK” and release the brake.
G. Turn the key off and remove the key.
Note:
Confirm initialization by turning the ON/OFF control switch “OFF” and then
“ON”. The red LED light on the remote start module will flash once immediately as
the switch is flipped from the “OFF” to the “ON” position.
If the red LED light did not flash when the control switch was turned “ON” REPEAT
STEPS A THROUGH G. See the colored Trouble Shooting Sheets if necessary.
12A. Green Wire – Tach Input – Control Harness
The remote starter has two ways of monitoring the car during the starting process.
Both ways will ensure a clean, accurate start. Read about both methods before
deciding which one to use. Normally you should try the “No Tach
™
method first.
“No Tach
™
” Starting
This starting method does not require the connection of the GREEN tach wire. This
method will start the car by reading the car’s voltage before attempting to start, and
then looking for a voltage increase when the alternator kicks in. This feature
automatically takes into account voltage, temperature, and the time since the vehicle
was last run. The “No-Tach
””
™
”
””
starting is preset at the factory and you can skip step
12B if you would like to use it. Note that if the vehicle is hard to start, set Option #3
(section 23) for “extended crank.”
Tachometer sensing
If the vehicle is generally hard to start (i.e. requiring a cranking time of more than 1
second) you will get more accurate starting with the tachometer sensing starting
method. This method starts the car by reading the engine speed (tach) information
from a wire under the hood. If you choose tachometer sensing, connect the GREEN
(18 awg) wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood (normally the negative side of the
coil or tach output of coil pack). After you have connected the GREEN wire, you need
to teach the remote starter the vehicle’s tach rate at idle. Proceed to step 12B.
Note:
You must have already initialized the remote starter from Step 11.
12B. Tach Rate Learning
Note:
Only use if the tachometer sensing method is chosen.
A. Connect the GREEN wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood.
B. Turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position. Wait 5 seconds for the red
LED light flashes to stop.
C. Program the unit to the tach mode by pushing the White “option” button once
and watching the red LED light flash. Now push the start button on the transmitter
for a second until you see the red LED light flash again. You are now in TACH
mode. (If the red LED light flashed twice or sometimes three times – simply push
the transmitter button again until you get only one flash).
D. Wait 5 seconds for the red LED light to flash 3 times.
E. Turn the On/Off control switch back to the “ON” position
F. Start the car with the key and let it get to a
pedal.
G. Push the red “code learn” button for a second.
H. Watch the red LED light. It will come on after 3 or 4 seconds, indicating that the
I. Watch that the LED light remains on as the vehicle is running and turns off when
you rev the engine RPMs to twice the idle rate. The LED light must go out when
you rev the engine to about twice the idle rate to confirm correct tach learning.
J. Turn the key to the “Lock/Off” position.
K. Turn the ON/OFF control switch off and the red LED light will go out. You are
now finished.
Note: Once these steps are complete – you cannot use the LED to confirm tach again.
You can however repeat the above steps to learn tach over again at any time.
OPTIONAL STEPS
13. Yellow Wire – Headlights/Parking Lights – Control Harness
Connection of the YELLOW wire allows you to activate the low beam headlights
or parking lights for remote start and lock status. After the remote starter has
started the car, the lights will remain on until the remote starter shuts off after 10
minutes, or when the brake pedal is pushed, or when the car is put into gear.
a relay +12 Volts output. Connect the
YELLOW wire to the wire that has power
when the lights are on.
14. Blue – Horn/Siren – Control Harness
The BLUE wire signals the
horn to honk (or siren to
chirp) once each time the
remote starter starts the
vehicle. Connect the blue
”
wire to the factory horn wire
which is often found
running down the steering column. It will normally show +12 Volts at rest and the
voltage will disappear when the horn is honked. This is a 400 mA transistor
ground output which MUST drive a relay if using a siren or positively
triggered horn.
Positive Horn/Siren Relay
15. Brown/White – Alarm Disable – Control Harness
The BROWN/WHITE wire is Alarm Disable, which will give out a quick negative pulse
just before starting the vehicle. This wire can be used to turn off the factory alarm
system in vehicles which have them. In most vehicles, this wire is located
in the driver’s kick panel.
16. White/Black Wire – Ignition #3 – Control Harness
The WHITE/BLACK
output that acts just like the Ignition
1 or Ignition 2 relay outputs (active
in the “run” and “crank” positions).
This wire is a 400 mA negative
transistor output and MUST be
set up to power a relay
included). It can be used to power the third ignition wire at the key (necessary for
most Ford vehicles).
This is the wire that can also be used to bypass a passive vehicle anti-theft system by
hooking it up to the Universal Bypass Module. See the Factory Anti-Theft System
section at the end of these instructions.

18. Red/White Wire – Remote Input – Control Harness
The RED/WHITE wire is the Remote Input. This wire will accept any negative ground
trigger to start the remote starter. This is not normally used since starting is with the
remote control transmitter. Setting Option #11 (section 23) will require this wire to
see two negative pulses within three seconds. This option will allow the RED/WHITE
wire to be connected to the vehicle’s door lock wire so you can use the factory remote
transmitter to remotely start your car.
19. Red/Black Wire – Diesel “wait to start” – Control Harness
This wire is only used in diesel vehicle applications –
wire can be hooked up to the “wait to start” light’s switched wire behind the dash. If
Option #9 (section 23) is set, this wire will feed information to the remote starter as
to when to crank the vehicle over. This wire is not polarity sensitive.
and is optional. This

the receiver module to the OFF position (see diagram below for location
of In-Gear switch inside receiver module).
REQUIRED FINAL STEPS
Note: You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initialization
(Step 11) to proceed forward.
20. Trying the Unit Out
WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing.
A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake
B. Place the vehicle in Park.
C. Turn the On/Off switch off then on – the red LED light will flash once.
D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start button on the
transmitter.
E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make sure that the
engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is opened, the brake
is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the car does not start, see Code
Learning under Special Cases.
21. The Antenna
Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left windshield
post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield with the rubbing alcohol
pad, wait to dry. Slip the rubber antenna into the hard plastic antenna clip. Remove
the backing from the double sided tape and mount the antenna behind the rear view
mirror. The more exposed the antenna is, the better the range and performance.
Now plug the end of the antenna into the remote starter module. In some vehicles
you will get better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically
downward from the top of the windshield.
Note: The wiring section of the installation is now complete. Be sure to
cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and mount the module
securely under the dash. When tying up and mounting the unit, be sure
to avoid any moving parts (steering column, pedals) and sharp edges.
22. Trouble Shooting with the Self Diagnostics
The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate why the
unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the unit was used.
To activate the diagnostic mode for why it turned off, simply turn the On/Off control
switch to the “OFF” position. In a few seconds, the red LED light on the module will
flash 1 to 12 times to identify the problem. See the chart below for an explanation of
the flashes:
1 flash10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure transmitter is
working properly.
2 flashesUnit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated. Check to make
sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood is closed and the

23A. Setting Program Features
The remote starter unit has many special features available. You will not need to use
these special features in most situations. The factory settings will operate most
vehicles. You must turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position toprogram any features.
Note: When turning off this control switch, the red LED light will flash a few times,
giving the diagnostic code described in section 22. Wait a few seconds for it to
finish before programming your new Options.

Option #1
This option sets the starting method. The factory setting uses “No-Tach” starting. If
you wish to use the tach to start, follow the instructions in the Tach Rate Learning
(section 12).
D.When finished – switch the Control Switch back ON. The red LED light will
flash once.
Option #3

This option will add 50% more crank time to the NoTach™ starting feature.
Option #4
NormalIGN 2 not active during Crank
This option will turn off the Ignition 2 output (thick GREEN wire) during cranking. It
is used to exactly match the remote starter with the ignition key function.
Option #5
Normal Voltage MeteringIgnore Voltage Metering
This option is used in the “No-Tach” starting method for some diesel vehicles or
vehicles with weak batteries and/or poorly performing altenators.
Option #6
Gasoline VehiclesDiesel Vehicles
This option must be activated when installing on a diesel vehicle.
Option #7
“Enable” FeatureNo “Enable”
This option cancels the “enable” mode safety feature. The “enable”
mode requires that the driver toggle the ON/OFF control switch “OFF”
then “ON” each time the driver removes the key from the ignition in
order to “enable” the vehicle for remote starter control. This feature
guards against undesired starting of the vehicle by remote control. You
must keep this option on all GM rear wheel drive and Dodge Dakota
vehicles manufactured prior to 1996.
Option #8
NormalDaytime Running Lights
This option will automatically turn the headlights on (for safety) about 10 seconds
after it sees the key in the ignition position – and automatically turn the headlights off
when the key is removed from the ignition.
Option #9
NormalDiesel “Wait to Start”
This option will control the time before cranking the diesel vehicle by looking at the
“wait to start” light of the vehicle. Simply hook the RED/BLACK Input wire of section
20 up to the wire behind the “wait to start” light. Also set Option #6 (section 23) for
diesel vehicles.
Option #10
1 sec. Alarm Disarm Pulse0.45 sec. Alarm Disarm Pulse
This option shortens the Alarm Disarm Pulse from 1 second to 0.45 second. This
feature is very useful with some Dodge/Chrysler vehicles that use a multiplexed system
to disarm the alarm and unlock the doors with the same wire. Using this feature
should eliminate the need to relock the doors after the alarm has been disarmed and
the vehicle is remotely started.
Option #11
Single Input TriggerDouble Input Trigger
This option changes the remote input wire (RED/WHITE) from a single start trigger to
a double start trigger (within three seconds).
PROGRAMMING AN OPTION
If you want the factory setting, DO NOTHING and skip this section. If you want to
change one or more of the features, TURN THE ON/OFF CONTROL SWITCH TO THE
“OFF” POSITION. Wait for the red LED light to stop flashing, then continue
with the following procedures:
A.For options 1-11: Push the white code button on the remote start module.
Each time you push the button the red LED light will flash 1 to 11 times
signifying at which feature you are (press it once, the LED light flashes once.
Press it again and it will flash two times. Press it again and it will flash three
times, etc., to show what feature you are at).
B.When you are at the feature level you desire, push the start button on the
transmitter for one second and the red LED light will flash once to signify
you are at the Option setting. You can push the transmitter button again
and it will flash twice to signify you are at the Factory setting. Push the
transmitter button again and you will go back to the Option setting.
C.You can choose to change another feature by starting over again at Step A, in
six seconds, the remote starter automatically exits the programming mode (three
LED light flashes).
SPECIAL CASES
1. How to Use a Relay
Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up. The most common relay
used for this type application is the Bosch type relay (Radio Shack Cat.# 275-226).
Use the diagram below for a typical hookup. If you have another relay then you need
to know that pins 85 and 86 in this diagram relate to the coils of the relay. Pin 30 is
the ‘common’, and pin 87 is the ‘normally open’ contact. If your relay has a pin 87A
in the middle it is the normally closed contact and is not used.

2. Code Learning
Your transmitter is factory coded to the remote starter module with over 16,000,000
different codes. The remote starter module can learn the codes of up to 4 different
transmitters. If you want to add additional transmitters to the receiver or if it doesnot respond to your transmitter – follow the steps below to teach the receiver
the transmitter code(s):
A. Turn the Control Switch ON.
B. Push the red "code learn" button on the receiver module. The red LED
light and the dash lights come on for a second. (The vehicle's ignition
and accessory wires come on).
C. While holding the transmitter at least three feet from the module, hold
down the Start button until the red LED light and the dash lights come
on again for a second. The module has now learned the transmitter
code. Release the transmitter button.
D. To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), immediately (within 5
seconds) push the Start button on another transmitter for a few seconds
until the red LED light and the dash lights come on for a second again.
E. 5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit exits
the code-learning stage. (The red LED light, ignition and accessories
flash 4 times).
Note:
Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previous codes – so
all transmitters must be taught. You have only 5 seconds between transmitters to
begin teaching a new transmitter.
3. Diesel Vehicles
For the most relible starting, hook up the RED/BLACK wire referenced in section 19.
For difficult starting diesels connect and learn the tach (section 12) as well as the
wait-to-start RED/BLACK wire (section 20). Set Option #6 (section 24) for diesel.
For most diesel vehicles, you can start the vehicle without needing to hook up a tach
wire. The following table provides the mandatory option settings for “no-tach”
operation in diesel vehicles. (Use the Chrysler settings for all other diesel vehicles.)
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily bypassed for
the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems use a resistor in the key. Others
use a transponder – a small device in the key that communicates a high security
code to the vehicle before the vehicle will successfully start.
Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems. If your vehicle is listed,
your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote starter MUST temporarily
bypass in order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory anti-theft
systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at the DesignTech web site
www.designtech-intl.com.
The Universal Alarm Bypass Module #20402 or #29402 will temporarily bypass the
factory anti-theft systems when using the remote starter. Check with your local retailer/
installer to purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module.
We DO NOT recommend installing ANY remote starter in the following vehicles: Audi 1998+, BMW 1998+,
Jaguar 1998+, Land Rover 1998+, Mercedes 1998+, Range Rover 1998+, Volvo 1999+
As with any aftermarket installation, please research and learn as much as you can about the vehicle before you start the install.
All General Motors (GM) vehicles (with rear wheel drive) built prior to 1995 with automatic transmissions and all Dodge Dakota trucks with
4 cylinder engines and automatic transmissions built prior to 1996 have a MECHANICAL type of NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH.
built after 1996 use an electrical type of neutral safety switch.
Applying +12 volts to the starter wire on any vehicle vehicle using a mechanical neutral safety switch will engage the vehicle’s starter, regardless of the shifter’s position. When
the shifter is in Park or Neutral, the vehicle will just start up normally. If the vehicle is accidentally left in gear and power is applied to the start wire, such as by a remote starter,
the vehicle will lurch forward or back as it attempts to start.
To test if your GM or Dodge vehicle is using a mechanical neutral safety switch system, you will only be able to remove the key from the ignition switch
when the shifter is in the Park or Neutral position.
To prevent this problem from occurring when installing a DesignTech remote starter on the above mentioned GM vehicles or Dodge Dakota vehicles:
1. You must leave the Enable Feature (option #7 in the factory setting). This is a safety feature that requires the user to turn the control switch OFF and then ON again each
time they exit the vehicle in order for the unit to be operational. This feature will ensure that the user of the vehicle with the remote starter installed has made a conscious
decision to allow the remote starter to start the vehicle the next time the transmitter button is depressed.
2. You must use the relay drawing below to create a circuit that will prevent the remote starter on these GM and Dodge vehicles from starting the vehicle unless the key is
completely removed from the ignition switch.

Code, and how do I
get it?
Diagnostic Code 1 flash The unit may not have attempted to start the vehicle yet or the unit may have started and timed out.
Diagnostic Code 2 flashes The unit thinks the hood is open. Make sure the hood pin-switch is properly adjusted and installed.
Diagnostic Code 3 flashes If the unit is programmed for tach, the tach wire is not connected or the tach rate may not yet have been learned.
Diagnostic Code 4 flashes Make sure the remote input wire (usually red/white) is not touching anything. (This wire is not on all models). If you
Diagnostic Code 5 flashes This code means the unit thought the transmission was shifted into gear.
Diagnostic Code 6 flashes Code 6 is caused by the unit not seeing the battery voltage increase enough when the vehicle starts. It can also be
Diagnostic Code 7 flashes An alarm sensor was triggered, causing the vehicle to shut down. (Only applies to units that have alarm features).
Diagnostic Code 8 flashes Something in the control harness is not connected properly. One of the transistor outputs is driving too much current.
Diagnostic Code 9 flashes Applicable only to manual transmission units. Indicates the unit did not see the emergency brake.
Diagnostic Code 10/11 flashes These are not a valid codes.
Diagnostic Code 12 flashes Make sure you have an accurate code. Please see ‘What is the Diagnostic Code, and how do I get it?’ at the top of
Make sure unit has power and ground.
Make sure unit is initialized (See ‘Initializing the unit’ in the manual)
Re-program transmitter. (See ‘Code Learning’ under Special Cases in the manual).
Check Diagnostic Code as described in Trouble Shooting with Self Diagnostics in the manual.
The Self-Diagnostics built into every DesignTech brand remote start will help identify problems in both the unit and
your installation. To get an accurate diagnostic code, flip the toggle switch off and back on; the LED light (on
module) should flash once if the unit is initialized. Press the start button on your transmitter for second. Now allow
the unit to try and start your vehicle 1-3 times. (Note that the unit will attempt to start the vehicle up to 3 times unless
codes 2,5,7 or 8 are being triggered, when it will try and start the vehicle once). Allow it up to a minute to try to start
again on its own - Don’t do ANYTHING to the unit during this time, unless something goes obviously wrong. At the
end of the starting cycles, turn the toggle off and count the first series of flashes- this will be the diagnostic code.
Is the toggle switch upside down? When the switch is turned on the LED will flash once immediately.
Something might be causing the unit to reset, such as a poor connection to ground or power, or you may have a relay
wired improperly. Typically the wires in the control harness require a relay unless otherwise stated.
The transmitter may need to be programmed.
The unit thinks the brake is being depressed. Make sure the brake wire has 12 volts on it only when the brake is
depressed. There should be no voltage on the brake wire at any other time
You might be experiencing feedback if you have connected the parking or head-lights. If disconnecting the lights
wire allows the unit to start then you might power the headlights, or you can isolate the brake wire of the unit from
the vehicle with a relay.
If the unit is programmed for ‘No-Tach’ the vehicle may not have all the required ignition wires connected, or may be
equipped with a factory security system – thus causing it to stall.
Sometimes a unit may have an option programmed even though you did not specifically set that option. Try re-setting
the unit. Unplug everything from the module except the black ground wire and LED (if you have a plug-in LED).
While pressing the white button on the module, connect the power lead. The LED on the unit should turn on and stay
on. Release the white push button and the LED should remain illuminated. (If not, repeat the process being sure to
hold in the white button while connecting power.) Now remove power and wait 2 minutes. Then connect the power
without pushing any buttons. Re-Initialize the unit and it should work for you.
have a stick shift unit – this is not relevant to you.
You might be pressing the remote control again before the unit has completed its cycle(s)---See 'Diagnostics: What is
the Diagnostic code and how do I get it?’ – at the top of this page.
If installing a manual transmission unit, this code means the unit did not see the door pin-switch.
If the transmission was not shifted: Switch the “in-gear” switch inside the module to the off position. This disables
‘Transmission in Gear’ sensing, and should solve the problem.
caused if you are not bypassing the factory theft system, such as PATS, VATS, or similar, if equipped.
Double-check the ignition wiring against the vehicle-wiring guide. Your vehicle may require ignition 2, or in some
cases ignition 3, in order to allow the alternator to function – thus bringing up the voltage.
If the wiring is correct, and you are properly bypassing any security system the vehicle may be equipped with, then
connecting the unit into tach mode should solve the problem. (Your alternator may not be functioning properly).
There may be a wire connected without a required relay, or if you are using a relay, the relay may not be connected
properly.

unit. Or maybe the switch was just turned off while it was running. Or maybe a defective switch?
Initialization - What is
it?
Initialization - What if
the unit will not
initialize?
I have a GM Truck and
the “Check Engine”
light is on after remote
starting. What should I
do?
The vehicle cranks but
fails to actually start
My 3 button remote

doors but will not unlock
them.
My 5 button remote will

individually.
Initialization is a process which proves to the unit that you have connected the required safety features and that the
unit has been installed in an automatic vehicle. See “Initializing the Remote Starter” in the manual.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INITIALIZE or INSTALL ANY AUTOMATIC UNIT ON ANY MANUAL
TRANSMISSION VEHICLE! Attempting to force an automatic unit to function on a manual stick-shift
vehicle could result in serious property damage or personal injury!
Is the unit already initialized? Make sure the switch is not upside down. Toggle the switch off and then
back to on. As the switch is turned on, the LED light on the unit (or that plugs into the unit) will flash
once if the unit is initialized.
One of the ignition wires may have voltage on it. Make sure all ignition wires measure a “dead” 0 volts
when the key is “off.” (It is normal to measure a small amount of voltage from the unit’s start wire.)
Check that there is 12 volts on the orange wire in the control harness only when the brake is pressed.
Check that there is continuity to ground on the purple wire in the control harness only when the hood is
open.
(A good way to test both the hood and brake at the same time is to connect a test light – the kind with a real light bulb
– with one lead to the orange wire and the other lead from the test light connected to the purple wire. If you open the
hood and press the brake, the light will illuminate if both connections are correct.)
You may have the wrong start wire. Make sure the yellow start wire from the unit is connected to a wire
in the vehicle which shows 12 volts only when the key is in the start (cranking) position. The wire should
have power at no other time.
Did you mistakenly switch the “in-gear” switch inside the module? If so, the unit will not initialize. This
switch disables transmission in-gear sensing, and should only be switched if you have been instructed by
a technician to do so or you are getting a diagnostic code of 5 flashes.
Your vehicle may not have a neutral safety switch, such as pre 95 GM rear-wheel drive vehicles or Dodge
Dakotas built prior to 1996. Try this: Open the hood and place your foot on the brake. Start the vehicle
with the key. Turn the engine off and release the brake. If all of your connections are correct the unit
should be initialized at this point.
Try bypassing the toggle switch temporarily in case a wire or connection to it is broken. Just unplug the
switch and jump across the two pins on the module that the switch plugs into with any metal object. As
you jump (short) the two pins together the LED should flash if the unit is initialized. NOTE- DO NOT
short any toggle switch wire to ground or probe the connector with a test light. Doing so may damage the
unit.
You most likely have one of the ignition wires connected wrong. Make sure you have connected:
From Unit to Vehicle_______________________________
Ign1 (Blue) PINK (hot in run and start)
Ign2 (Green) WHITE or PINK/WHITE (hot in run and start)
ACC(White) ORANGE (hot in run only)
If you have the ignition wires connected as above and still have a check engine light it is possible the unit
has been programmed to have ignition 2 “off during crank.” Please review the programming options
within the installation manual.
Please see “What is the diagnostic code and how do I get it?” Follow the steps for the diagnostic code
you receive. You are probably missing one of your second or third ignition wires. Or if it is a Nissan –
you probably have 2 starter wires which need to be shorted together.
Re-program the transmitter. Use the left button when teaching 3 button remote controls. When
programming the 5 button remote, use the start button. (Refer to the installation manual for the complete
steps on how to make the unit enter the code learning process.)

You are missing the 2nd (or 3rd) ignition wire or the accessory wire is not hooked up. Make sure the heater or airconditioner is left on when you leave the vehicle. On diesel vehicles – they may not come on for a few minutes until
after the vehicle is up and running.
The antenna coax wire may be crimped, cut or otherwise damaged. Try the antenna both vertically and horizontally
to determine the best performance. Make sure the receiver unit has a good chassis ground. Note that the higher you
hold the transmitter off the ground when pushing the button – the further distance you will get from the system.
Many meters have a known issue with measuring passlock. This is not a fault of the meter, the installer, or
the manufacturer. These issues can cause problems such as getting a consistent reading of the resistance,
or the reading may be artificially inflated. It is our belief that the mid-to-high-end meters seem to
experience more problems measuring passlock than less expensive digital meters.
One wire will have 0 volts - This is the wire you "tap" into-- we’ll call this WIRE #1 USUALLY BLACK
OR ORANGE/BLACK. One wire will have 5 volts or less- This is the wire you cut in half-- we'll call this
WIRE #2 USUALLY YELLOW. One wire will have aproximately 12 volts - This is the wire you leave
alone USUALLY WHITE OR BLACK/WHITE. With all PASSLOCK wires intact, turn the vehicle on
and bump the starter. Measure the voltage between the wire #1 and wire#2. Your meter should be set on
the 12 volt DC scale. RECORD THIS VOLTAGE. Without turning the key off - go ahead and separate
WIRE #2. Reconnect the Universal Alarm Bypass Module (Part #20402 or 29402) as described in the
installation manual with one exception - GROUND the wire that goes to the ignition 3 wire; you should
hear the bypass module click. Now measure the voltage between the ENGINE side of WIRE #2 and wire
#1. Your meter should be set on the 12 volt DC scale. Adjust the dip-switches and trim-pot on the bypass
module until the voltage being measured EXACTLY matches the recorded voltage obtained without the
module. Remove ground from the ignition 3 wire of the bypass module, turn the vehicle off and then
restart it. Look at the voltage again - and while monitoring it ground the ignition 3 wire of the bypass
again. If the module is set correctly the voltage should NOT change. Repeat again to verify - if you get
the same voltage every time then the module is set up perfectly. There is no chart to help you with this, it
is just trial and error -- but it will work regardless of the meter you are using.
NO. Due to proprietary technology DesignTech brand products will operate only with DesignTech brand
Transmitters. Likewise, a DesignTech transmitter will not operate another brand’s products.
The alarm within the unit, if equipped (as are most units with 3 or 5 button remotes) may be armed, or the
unit may be in valet mode.
Make sure the wires going to the toggle switch are not broken, and that the toggle switch is on.
Reset the unit - See “Resetting all options to the factory setting” in the instructions
It is normal for the LED to glow dimly. This indicates the unit is receiving power.
If the LED is at full brightness then one of the push-buttons may have been depressed when you applied
power, the LED may be plugged into the wrong jack, or something may be wrong within the unit.
If the unit is in tach mode – make sure the tach wire is properly connected and receiving the correct tach
rate.
If using the “No-Tach” method, make sure the unit is not programmed for tach mode, extended crank, or
super crank.
Make sure you have the correct start wire connected - the start wire in the vehicle should have 12 volts
only when the key is in the start position.
Some vehicles such as Toyotas and Nissans, experience a starter feedback problem. Try temporarily
isolating the start wire from the key switch to identify this problem - simply cut the start wire in half
between the connecting point of the units start wire and the key switch. Get Installation Note #133 from
off our web-site or Fax On Demand.
If the output is labeled as a “+12 relay output” the unit contains a relay on that output - and you will only
need to use a relay if the vehicle requires a negative output.
If the output is labeled a “400ma Transistor Ground Output”, this means the unit supplies a ground up to a
maximum of 400ma. If more than 400ma is drawn through the output, the unit may shut down or it may
be damaged. Generally speaking, if the vehicle requires a ground and the unit supplies a ground you will
not need a relay. If the vehicle requires a positive and the unit supplies a ground, you will need to use a
relay. Likewise, if the vehicle requires a ground capable of more than 400ma you would need to use a
relay. See Installation Note 111, Basic Uses of the Relay from our web site or our Fax On Demand.

This condition is perfectly normal. This is a safety feature designed to prevent unauthorized starting. If
you have forgotten to flip the switch off and back on, you can still remote start the vehicle. Just hold the
start button down for 6 to 10 seconds instead of the usual 1 second. If you do not like this safety feature, it
can be permanently bypassed by programming option 7, explained under "Setting Programming Features"
or a similar section within the installation instructions.
The remote input wire available on some units (usually a red/white) may be connected to ground. The
remote input wire should be taped up if not being used so that it does not touch ground.

Some General Comments:
• For Your Safety, never install an automatic unit into a manual transmission (stick-shift) vehicle! Serious
property damage or personal injury including death may occur! Instead, use one of our special manual
transmission units, which will operate safely in a manual transmission vehicle.
• When testing wires use only a digital multimeter, unless otherwise instructed. A test light (especially the
kind with a real light bulb) can severely damage electrical components in modern vehicles if used
improperly. Also, “computer safe” LED type test lights - with a red and/or green LED- are NOT airbag
safe! NEVER test ANY wire within an airbag system harness.
• Always roll down at least one window in the vehicle before beginning work. This will prevent you from being
accidentally locked out of the vehicle.
• It’s okay to have a battery charger on the battery while you are working on the vehicle, but the car starter will
not function correctly with the charger attached.
• Specific vehicle information is available directly from www.designtech-intl.com
colors in the wiring guide "matching up" then you may be in the wrong harness. You can make sure you are in
the correct harness by unplugging the wires. For example: With the ignition switch, if you unplug it and then
the vehicle no longer cranks, the blower and radio do not work, and the vehicle is for all purposes "dead" with
the key- then you have found the “ignition switch harness.” (Otherwise, you will need to continue searching...)
The same technique can be used for the brake, lights, horn, etc. Once you are sure you are in the correct
harness, if the wire colors still fail to match up then you will have to test the wires using a digital multimeter. It
is always best to verify any wire before connecting to it.
• Most of the common questions that people ask are actually answered within the installation manual. Make sure
you have thoroughly reviewed it before calling for technical support. We recommend going through the
installation manual with two different colored markers. Read through each step and check it off after you have
read it. Use the second marker to make a check when you have completed the step in the vehicle. This will help
to make sure you have completed all steps, and that you have not missed any features the unit offers.
