before the installation

➤ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the

installation. The installation of this remote start system

requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many

new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can

be damaged by low-resistance testing devices, such as test

lights and logic probes (computer safe test lights). Test all

circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before

making connections.

➤ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-

coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting

the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a

diagnostic code through their warning lights after they lose

power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be

erased, which can require a trip to the dealer.

➤ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally

draining the battery.

➤ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

after the installation

➤ Test all functions. The "Using Your System" section of the

Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

➤ Complete the vehicle

obtaining constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+)

terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to the igni-

tion switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connec-

tion. If the fuse will also be powering other circuits, such as door

locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite

®

headlight control

system, fuse accordingly.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!

Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

➜

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!

Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to locate these wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter.

6

finding the starter wire

The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay

controlling starter. In some vehicles, it is necessary to power a

cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter

circuit, but it does not control the starter. Instead, the cold start

circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when

the vehicle is cold.

Use the following procedure to find the starter wire with your

multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The

steering column is an excellent place to find this wire.

Remember you do not need to

interrupt the starter at the same

point you test it. Hiding the

control module and connections is

always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure

the car is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the

next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it

and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you

have the right wire.

➜

7

finding the 12V switched wire

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start

position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition

system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel

pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires lose power

when the key is in the start position to make more current avail-

able to the starter motor.

Use the following procedure to find the (+)12V ignition wire

with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being

the ignition wire. The steering

column harness or ignition switch

harness is an excellent place to find

this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your

meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it does not read

(+)12V, probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display

should stay steady, not dropping by more than a few tenths

of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to

Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an igni-

tion wire.

➜

8

finding the accessory wire

An accessory wire will show (+)12V when the key is in the acces-

sory and run positions. It will not show (+)12V during the

cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire

in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power the

vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have sepa-

rate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning

compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to

power the second accessory wire.

finding the parking light wire

There are several different types of parking light circuits. The

following description is for a standard negative-triggered parking

light circuit, usually located at the light switch. If the web vehicle

information suggests a different type of parking light circuit,

please contact Directed Technical Support.

Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected

wire and place the red lead of the meter to a constant (+)12 volt

source and secure it. Place the multi-meter in the DC position.

Probe the suspected wire. With the switch in the off position the

meter will read off. While watching the meter, turn the switch to

the parking light position. The meter should read 12V. While

testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light control up

and down — the voltage should NOT vary. If the voltage does

vary, continue probing to find the correct wire.

➜

9

finding the tachometer wire

To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC

voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will show between

1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can

learn individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil

ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also,

if necessary, the system can use a fuel injector control wire for

engine speed sensing.

Common locations for a tachometer wire are the ignition coil,

instrument cluster, fuel injectors, or engine computers.

Use the following procedure to locate the tachometer wire with

your multimeter.

1. Set the multimeter to ACV or AC voltage and a range of 12V or 20V.

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Start the engine.

4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the

red probe of the meter.

➜

10

5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1 and 6

VAC and the voltage will vary as the engine rpm is changed.

ffaaccttoorryy aannttii--tthheefftt ssyysstteemmss ((iimmmmoobbiilliizzeerrss))

Vehicle anti-theft systems (immobilizers) require installation of a

bypass module. The bypass module allows for easy interfacing,

while still maintaining the OEM security system’s integrity. For

vehicle listings and required bypass, see DirectFax Document

1059, available only to authorized dealers though the technical

resources listed at the front of this guide.

(+) brake switch shutdown input

This wire must be connected to the vehicle’s brake light wire.

This is the wire that shows (+) 12V when the brake pedal is

depressed. The remote start will be disabled or shut down any

time the brake pedal is pressed.

Locate the factory brake wire using your meter. 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 meter lead

still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire with the meter.

With the brake pedal at rest the meter should read zero. While

watching the tester, depress the brake pedal. The meter should

read 12V. Once you have located the correct brake wire, strip a

small portion of insulation off this wire and solder the small

BROWN (H1/3) wire on the main harness to it and wrap the

connection with electrical tape.

(-) hood pin shutdown input

This wire must be connected to the hood pinswitch. This input

will disable or shut down the remote start when the hood is

opened.

important! Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the operation of the brake shutdown.

14

Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in the

metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin

switch to be depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has

a spade connector on the bottom for the wire connection.

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

ground

Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, prefer-

ably 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.

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.

VVoollttaaggee MMooddee//TTaacchhoommeetteerr MMooddee

- Default is voltage mode. The

control module will automatically look at the tachometer input

during normal driving. If it finds a valid tachometer signal the

module will use tachometer mode, otherwise the module will use

voltage mode (battery voltage will rise after the engine starts).

To program tachometer mode, start the engine and let it run for

at least 30 seconds. If the tachometer is seen by the control

module, it will enter tachometer mode, and will monitor the

tachometer input for the next startup.

The system is programmed to attempt two starts using

tachometer mode. If after the second start attempt the control

module did not see a tachometer input the system will attempt

to start a third time using voltage mode.

Will it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to

disconnect the brake shutdown when performing this test.)

If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock.

Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by ener-

gizing it yourself with a fused test lead.

➤ The starter cranks for 1 or 2-seconds but does not start.

Either the wrong ignition wire is being energized, the

system’s ignition and accessory wires have been connected

backwards, or the vehicle has two ignition circuits. Try acti-

vating the unit with the ignition key in the “run” position. If

the vehicle then runs normally, retest your ignition system.

➤ The starter continues to crank even though the engine has

started.

Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning

section of this guide.

Is the tach wire receiving the correct information? Either the

wrong tach wire has been used, or a bad connection exists.

➤ The climate control system does not work while the unit is

operating the vehicle.

Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more

23

than one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in

order to operate the climate control system.

➤ The remote start will not activate.

Check harnesses and connections. Make sure the harnesses

are fully plugged into the remote start module. Make sure

there are good connections to the vehicle wiring.

Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter and check for voltage

between the RED wire and the BLACK ground wire. If you

have less than battery voltage, check the and both 30A fuses

on the relay satellite. Also make sure that the ground wire is

going to a good paint-free chassis ground.

➤ The remote start will activate but the starter never engages.

1. Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds

after the remote start becomes active. If there is voltage

present, skip to Step 4. If there is no voltage present, advance

to Step 2.

2. Check the 30A fuses.

3. Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the

starter side of the optional starter kill relay.

4. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer

systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.

5. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires

should have solid connections. "T-taps", or "scotch locks"

are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge

wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input

wire, then connect one red wire to each.

24

➤ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.

Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immo-

bilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized

starting attempts.

➤ The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds.

Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? Try

programming the unit using a tach wire.

Control Module:

The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.

Transmitter:

A hand-held, remote control which operates the

various functions of your system.
