Note: See owner’s guide of your speciﬁc model for exact functionality as some functions may differ to those shown above.

Important: If the Control Center has been replaced, all remote controls must be re-paired with the system.

VRS (Vehicle Recovery System)

When VRS is enabled and the vehicle is stolen or carjacked, VRS sounds the siren and ﬂashes the parking lights to persuade the thief to abandon the vehicle, and when the ignition is turned off, activates the starter disable to prevent the engine from restarting.

To arm VRS:

• Perform the silent mode arm command while driving, or while the ignition is turned ON. The siren

chirps and parking lights ﬂash once to conﬁrm arming. The arm LED and beeps play to conﬁrm arming.

Note: If Valet mode is ON, the LED and fault tone plays, exit Valet mode before arming VRS.

• Once armed, VRS triggers if any door is opened then closed while the ignition is ON, and if the

vehicle is parked while armed, VRS triggers when driving resumes. See trigger description below.

• When triggered, the Control Center LED begins ﬂashing after ﬁfteen seconds. Within 45 seconds

perform the silent mode arm command to disarm VRS.

Note: If not disarmed, the siren begins chirping for 60 seconds and then becomes a constant siren blast with ﬂashing parking lights for several minutes. This output will continue and be repeated each time the ignition is turned ON until VRS is disarmed.

To disarm VRS:

• Perform the silent mode disarm command on the remote anytime before VRS has been triggered, or

within one minute after it has triggered and before the siren begins to chirp.

Note: If not disarmed before the siren begins to chirp, the emergency override procedure must be used to disarm VRS. (see owners guide for override procedure).

Reset and Deletion

If a feature needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure:

1. Open a door.

2. Turn the ignition to the ON position.

3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control Center button 2 times if you want to delete remote controls or 3 times to reset features. These function steps are described next.

• Delete remote controls: This feature erases all remote controls from the memory of the security system.

This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen.

Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system.

• Reset Features: This resets all features of the security system to the factory default settings. Note: This feature does not delete the remote controls from the security system.

4. Once you have selected the function step, press the Control Center button once more and hold it. The LED ﬂashes and the siren chirps to conﬁrm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control Center button

5. While holding the Control Center button, press the button on a programmed remote control. The siren chirps to conﬁrm that the remote controls have successfully been deleted or the features have been reset.

6. Once the feature is reset, the Control Center button can be released.

Page 28

Long Term Event History

The system stores the last six full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. To access long term event history:

1. With the ignition OFF, press and hold the Control Center button.

2. Turn the ignition ON.

3. Release the Control Center button.

4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Control Center button. The status LED ﬂashes in groups indicating the last six zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned OFF (indicated in the order of most recent ﬁrst to oldest last). Refer to Table of Zones for trigger information.

Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and is not reported.

Table of Zones

A zone is represented by the number of status LED ﬂashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input.

Zone Description Input Description

1 Trunk Pin 12-pin Blue wire

2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact detected by the onboard shock sensor Onboard shock sensor.

3 Door switch trigger 12-pin Green or Violet wire

4 Instant trigger: For optional sensors 3-pin optional GWA MUX port

5 Ignition trigger 7-pin Yellow wire

6 Hood Pin 7-pin Gray wire

7 Instant trigger: For optional sensors 4-pin optional MUX port

Troubleshooting: Alarm

Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:

1. Was the onboard shock sensor adjusted before the brain was mounted? If so re-adjust the sensor.

2. Has the onboard shock sensor been turned OFF? The sensor has the ability to be turned OFF when

adjusting.

3. Has the NPC system been triggered? If so, you hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the

ignition key ON and OFF to clear the NPC memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailsed description of NPC, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of the owners guide.

Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the ﬁrst 3 seconds:

• That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system even if the door

is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren continues.

Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:

• Have you correctly identiﬁed the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong

door input has been used.

System does not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:

1. Is passive arming programmed ON?

2. Are the door inputs connected? Is the 12-pin Blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the

vehicle? Either the 12-pin Green wire or Violet wire should be used instead.

Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:

• Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (see Table of Zones

section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.

Appendix - Door Lock System Types

Unlock

Identifying the Door Lock System:

There are eight major types of door lock circuits not including door lock systems that are centrally controlled through the vehicles data bus system.

Note: In most data bus systems door locks can be controlled with a Directed interface module.

• Type A: Three wire (+) 12V pulse controlling factory relays/module.

• Type B: Three wire (-) ground pulse controlling factory relays/module.

• Type C: Directly wired to the switch (5-wire reversing polarity switches) with no external relays/

modules.

• Type D: Aftermarket actuator driven systems. These include central locking systems that don’t have an

actuator in the drivers’ door but has actuators in the remaining doors of the vehicle.

• Type E: One wire electronically activated vacuum system (typically found in older Mercedes Benz

vehicles). This typically requires the door lock pulse output duration to be changed on the system.

• Type F: One wire door lock system that requires the wire to become an open circuit (break the wire)

to lock the vehicle doors and requires a (-) pulse to unlock the vehicle doors.

• Type G: (+) one wire multiplex door locks. The vehicle requires a (+) 12V pulse through resistors to

control the locks in the vehicle.

• Type H: (-) one wire multiplex door locks. The vehicle requires a (-) ground pulse through resistors to

control the locks in the vehicle.

The following diagrams will show how to connect this system to the different types of door lock types.

Type A: (+) 12v controlling factory relays/modules: With this type of circuit the door lock wires will test (+) 12v respectively when pressing Lock or Unlock from the switch.

With this type of circuit the door lock wires will test (-) ground respectively when pressing Lock or Unlock from the switch or for factory alarm arm/lock and disarm/unlock, you will test the wires while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder. Note: For factory alarm disarm/unlock the system may need to be programmed to have a double pulse output when unlocking (see Door Lock Pulses in Feature Programming).

Type C: Direct wired reversing polarity With this type of circuit, there are typically 4 or 5 heavy gauges wires that go to the switch. One wire feeds (+) 12v to the switch, the other feeds a (-) ground to the switch while the remaining wires will go directly out to the actuators. The actuator wires will rest at ground, therefore you must ensure that the White/Black and Brown/Black wires are connected to the switch side of the cut wire, if this is not done you will send (+) 12v to ground possibly damaging the module or the switch.

With this setup you are either adding actuators to a vehicle without a keyless entry or power door lock option or you may have a Type D Vehicle with a central locking system (all doors are controlled when manually locking the driver front door) this will only require the installation of one actuator in the driver door. Note: If installing more than two actuators it is recommended to use external relays to support the current demands of three or more actuators.

In most cases the door lock output duration will need to be extended to a 3.5 second pulse (see Door Lock Output Duration in Feature Programming). This wire will test (-) ground when the doors are locked and (+)

12v when the doors are unlocked. Note: The Violet jumper wire at the fuse holder between the Pin 1-Violet wire and the Pin 4-Violet/Black wire of the door lock harness must be cut!

Type F: One wire door lock system This type of system requires an open circuit to lock the doors and a (-) pulse to unlock the doors. The wire will test as an open circuit when locking the vehicle doors and will test as a (-) ground when unlocking the vehicle doors (these can be reversed in some vehicles). Note: The Violet jumper wire at the fuse holder between the Pin 1-Violet wire and the Pin-4 Violet/Black wire of the door lock harness must be cut!

Type G: (+) 12v one wire multiplexed systems

Door Lock Switch

This type of system handles the door lock control on one wire utilizing different (+) 12v voltages to handle the lock and unlock function or factory alarm arm/lock and factory disarm/unlock function in the vehicle. The door lock switch, driver door key cylinder or BCM may contain one or two resisters to achieve the required voltage to control the vehicle door lock system.

Single resistor type:

If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will show (+) 12v in one direction and less than (+) 12v when operated in the opposite direction.

Dual resistor type:

If two resistors are used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will show less than (+) 12v in either direction.

Determining the Proper Resistance Values:

Most vehicle information documents will offer the resistance values required to operate the factory door locks in the vehicle, however there are times when the information is not available or a different resistance value is required. To determine the resistance values that are required to control the lock/arm and unlock/disarm functions in the vehicle you will need to use a digital multimeter. Set for measuring resistance (ohms)

1. Locate the lock/arm or unlock/disarm wire in the vehicle.

2. Once the correct wire is located, cut it in half and set your digital multimeter to ohms.

3. Place one lead of the meter to (+) 12v or a reliable (-) ground (depending on (+) or (-) multiplex door lock system) and the other lead of the meter to the switch side of the cut wire in the vehicle. Press and hold the switch or turn the key in the door to the lock position. Your meter will display the proper resistance for that function. Repeat the process, however you will be pressing the unlock side of the switch or turning the key in the door to the unlock position and your meter will display the proper resistance for that function.

4. Once the proper resistance(s) have been found use the applicable Type G or Type H diagrams for wiring information.

Note: Not all multiplex door lock circuits for both lock/arm and unlock/disarm will need resistors for both operations. If your meter shows 0 resistance in either direction, then a resistor is not required for that operation.
