Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections

Ground Wire

The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper
fuse. 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
(DO NOT GROUND ON DASH). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the
screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down,
pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.

Constant Power and Ignition Wires

Almost all your power and ignition wires can be found behind the
key cylinder under the lower driver's side dash panel. Using the
appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel taking 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
heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.).

Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in
the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge
wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be
obtained at www.readyremote.com.

Testing for Constant Power Wires

WARNING! Before making any connection to constant

battery power, make sure that the two 30 amp fuses
are removed from the fuse holders on the two pink 12
VOLT wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or short­ing of sensitive electrical components.

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.

18

© 2007 Directed Electronics

With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The
constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the
constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy
gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and
wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Testing for Ignition Wires

With the multimeter lead still connected in the kick panel, locate
the suspected ignition wire. It will test differently than constant
12 volts. Place the red lead of the multimeter on the suspected
wire. With the key in the off position the multimeter will read 0.
Turn the key to the on position and the multimeter will read 12
volts. Now, watching your multimeter, turn the key to the crank
position. If the 12 volts stays on, then you have found your igni­tion wire. If the wire tests correctly, solder the BLUE heavy gauge
wire to it and wrap 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 GREEN
heavy gauge wire to it then wrap the connection with electrical
tape. If your vehicle has only one ignition wire, secure the GREEN
wire and dress it out of the way.

Note! If the vehicle has more than one constant
power wire, use two of them. Connect one of the
heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant
power wires, and the other heavy gauge PINK wire
to the other constant power wire.

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 multimeter’s black lead
connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire
suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multi­meter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position The
multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank
position. If you have the correct accessory wire, the multimeter
will read 0 volts while the starter is cranking, and 12 volts once
the key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip
some insulation off and solder the WHITE heavy gauge wire and
wrap it with electrical tape.

If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN
igniton 2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory
output.

21

© 2007 Directed Electronics

If the GREEN wire is being used for Ignition 2, an additional relay
(not provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the
diagram below.

Now that the accessories have been located, find the suspected
starter wire according to the web information. Leave the black
lead of your tester on ground and place the red lead of your multi­meter on this wire. The multimeter should read 0 volts in all key
positions except the crank position. In the crank position your
multimeter should read 12 volts, and will go to 0 volts when the
starter disengages.

Many Nissan and Toyota vehicles have two starter wires. A relay
and/or resistor (not provided) is required to hook up the addi­tional starter wire. Refer to the diagram below.

Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half (check the
web information before cutting) 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
YELLOW (6) wire of the heavy guage wires to it and wrap the
connection with electrical tape.

Note! 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.

Step 2, H1, Main Harness Connections

Factory Alarm Disarm

Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm, it
is necessary to disarm it when unlocking the doors or during
remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer
system. They each require different disarm operations.

Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site informa­tion. Once the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red
lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it. Put the multi­meter in the DC position. Then probe the suspect wire with the
black lead of your meter. While probing the wire, place the key in
the driver's door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold
it when testing for the disarm wire. The multimeter should read
12V and will go back to 0V when the key is released.

When the correct wire has been found, solder the BROWN/WHITE
wire of the 6-pin harness to the wire that you determined to be
the factory alarm disarm wire. After this wire has been connected,
wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Note! Some vehicles use a (+) trigger factory alarm
system. Use the website to determine if your vehicle
has a (+) trigger. If your vehicle has such a system,
call 1-800-477-1382 for live technical assistance, as
special wiring and an additional relay is required.

Note! On some vehicles the Factory Alarm Disarm
wire is connected to a Body Control Module or a Door
Module. If you find this configuration, please call
Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Parking Light Flash

There are several different types of parking light circuits. The
following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking­light circuit only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)
parking light circuit, the fuse jumper (on the side of the module)
must be moved to the opposite position.

A red 10 amp mini-fuse is included in a small plastic bag inside
the packaging. THIS FUSE MUST BE INSERTED FOR THE PARKING
LIGHTS TO WORK!

Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected
wire. Connect the black multimeter lead to ground in the kick
panel. Probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter.
With the switch in the off position the multimeter should read 0
volts. While watching the multimeter, turn your headlight switch
to the parking light position. The multimeter should read 12 volts.

While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light
control up and down. The voltage should NOT vary. If the voltage
does vary, then this is the wrong wire. Continue probing to find
the correct wire.

Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the small YELLOW
wire of the 6-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with elec­trical tape. If your light circuit tests the opposite position, you
most likely have a (-) parking light circuit.

Important! Remember this description is for a (+)
parking light circuit. A (-) circuit will test differently.
Also, if the web information requires using resistors
for parking lights, contact Technical Support.

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 multimeter. Find the
switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. Use
your vehicle specific wiring information to determine the color of
this wire. With the black lead of your multimeter still in the kick
panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your multi­meter.

With the brake pedal at reset, the multimeter should read 0 volts.
While watching the multimeter, depress the brake pedal. The
multimeter should read 12 volts. Once you have located the
correct brake wire, solder the small ORANGE wire in the 6-pin
harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a hole in a metal
lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin
switch to be completely depressed when the hood is closed. The
pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire
connection.

WARNING! Wear eye protection when drilling.

WARNING! Do not use the vehicle until you

confirm the operation of the brake shutdown.

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

26

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire, and run the wire
into the vehicle's passenger compartment through a factory rubber
grommet (at the same time you might want to run the Tachometer
Input wire and Horn output wire from the Optional Harness
through the fire wall as you may need to connect them using the
following steps).

Using a sharp, pointed object, poke a hole into the grommet
(being careful not to damage any existing wires in 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.

An alternative to this method would be to find a spot on the fire­wall with sufficient clearance on both sides and drill an access
hole through the firewall. Take note of what is directly on the
other side of where you are drilling as to not puncture brake cylin­ders, computers, etc. Once the wire is run into the vehicle and
secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to the VIOLET wire
of the 6-pin harness and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

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 in serious injury or death.

Step 3, H3 Door Lock Connections

There are eight different types of door lock systems (Type A - H).
Refer to the vehicle-specific wiring instructions on the web and
the chart below to help determine which door lock system your
vehicle uses. On some late model GM vehicles a door lock data
interface module may be required.

Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are
wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory
relays. Relays (not included) will be required for this type of door
lock system.

Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include
slave systems without an actuator in the driver's door, but with
factory actuators in all the other doors.

Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems.

Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock.

This is a very rare system found mainly in early 90's imports

Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. One wire controls lock and unlock
using resistor(s).

Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. Same as type G system, but uses
(-) pulse instead.

Note! From the factory, your system is set up for Type
B (-) door locks. To change your door lock outputs to
Type A (+), simply use the wires in the opposite con­figuration. You will now have (+) door locks.

28

© 2007 Directed Electronics

All other door lock systems will require additional relays and/or
resistors. A Directed Electronics 451M Doorlock module can be
used for these other applications. The 451M also includes dia­grams and resistors required for most applications.

29

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays

The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no addi­tional parts. The switch will have three wires on it; one will test
(+)12 volt constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12 volt
when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position.

If you cannot get to the switch, and you find a set of wires that
pulse (+)12 volt alternately on lock and unlock, make sure that it
is not a Type C direct-wire system.

Here is a test: Cut the wire that pulses (+)12V on lock, and then
operate the switch. If the locks stop working, then you have the
correct wire.

Many GM vehicles use Type A locks. However, some GM vehicles are
Type C. This system usually appears in older GM vehicles (1980-

1995). The full-size pickups (1989-up), many of the Blazers, the
Corvette, 1995 Cavalier/Sunfire 1993, and the newer
Camaro/Firebird, all use Type C door locks, and cannot be
controlled without relays.

Almost all newer Fords are Type B. Ford builds no Type A systems.
Chrysler now uses multiplex door lock systems (Type G or H) that
require relays and resistors to properly interface the circuit.

30

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Important: Remember that these wires’ functions reverse between
Type A and Type B.

31

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays

This system is common in many Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas, Saturns,
and almost all newer Fords with keyless entry systems. Use your
vehicle sprcific wiring information to locate this wire. If you cut
the wire and the locks stop working, then you are on the correct
wire.

Note: If your locks operate in the reverse, (lock when
pressing unlock, and unlock when pressing lock) then
switch the lock/unlock wires and the locks will operate
correctly.

Type C: Direct-wired reversing polarity switches

Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two
relays OR one DEI 451M (not included).

It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master
switch to interface the door locks properly. This door lock system
will be referenced on our vehicle specific wiring information sheet
as a "5wi" system.

Locate wires that show voltage on lock and unlock. Cut one of the
suspected wires and check operation of the locks from both
switches. If one switch loses operation in both directions and the
other switch operates in one direction only, you have located one
of the target wires. The switch that lost all operation is the mas­ter switch.

If one switch works in both directions and the other switch works
in only one direction, you have a Type A system. If both switch­es still operate, but one or more doors has stopped responding
entirely, you have cut a motor lead. Reconnect it and continue to
test for another wire. Once both wires have been located and the
master switch has been identified, cut both wires and interface as
shown in the following diagram.

33

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Caution: If these wires are not connected properly, you will
send (+) 12 volts directly to (-) ground, possibly damaging
the alarm or the factory switch.

34

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators

In order for this system to control one or more aftermarket actu­ators, a DEI 451M (not included) or two relays are required.
Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation
of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock
actuator inside the door.

Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the dri­ver's door, if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is
used. This type of installation is required to operate factory lock
systems in Volvo (except 850), SAAB, and most Kia, Mazda, Isuzu
and Subaru models. The fuse used on 12 volt inputs should be

7.5A per motor installed in the vehicle.

Note: Directed Electronics offers actuators available at larger retail
chain stores. You will find them in the installation bay (P/N:524T).

Important! Do not connect the outputs of the alarm directly
to the actuator.

35

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems

Type E door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacu­um pump. Some Mercedes and Audis use a Type D system. Test by
locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors
lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just
two relays (optional). The control wire can be found in either kick
panel and will show (+)12 volt when doors are unlocked and (-)
ground when doors are locked.

To interface, see diagram below. The system must be programmed
for 3.5 second door lock pulses.

36

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock

Type F door locks usually require a negative pulse to unlock and
cutting the wire to lock the door. In some vehicles, these func­tions are reversed. Type F door locks are found in late-model
Hyundai, Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX
1992-up. They are also found in some Mazda MPV's and some
Mitsubishi's.

One relay (not included) is used to interface to this type of
system as follows:

37

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type G: Positive (+) multiplex

This system is sometimes found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, and GM
vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain
either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of
door lock system, two relays or a DEI 451M must be used.

Single-Resistor Type

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

Two-Resistor Type

If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylin­der, the switch/key cylinder will read less than (+)12 volt in both
directions.

38

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Determining the Proper Resistor Values

To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylin­der must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For all
testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.

1. Cut the output wire from the door switch/key cylinder in half.

2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door
switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.
Some good constant (+) 12V references are the power input
source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition
switch power wire, or the battery (+) terminal.

3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions
to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays
zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for
that direction.

4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring
diagram for proper wiring.

39

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Type H: Negative (-) multiplex

The system is most commonly found in Chryslers and a few late­model GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may
contain either one or two resistors.

Single-Resistor Type

If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the
wire will pulse ground in one direction and resistance to ground
when operated in the opposite direction.

Two-Resistor Type

If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key
cylinder, the door lock switch/key cylinder will read resistance to
ground in both directions.

40

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Determining the Proper Resistor Values

To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylin­der must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For all
testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.

1. Cut the output wire from the door switch/key cyclinder in
half.

2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door
switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.
Some good constant (+) 12V references are the power input
source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition
switch power wire, or the (+) terminal battery.

3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions
to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays
zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for
that direction.

4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring
diagram for proper wiring.

Step 4, H2 Harness

Engine Monitoring Explained

During remote start, the system needs 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 section).

Voltage Monitoring

Vehicle electrical systems usually rest at about 12.6 volts when
the engine is not running. This system is programmed to detect
the rise in battery voltage that occurs when the charging circuit
activates after starting, and keep the engine running if the rise is
adequate. It will make up to three start attempts before discon­tinuing due to an inadequate voltage rise.

Some vehicles have alternators that do not activate immediately
or do not increase voltage sufficiently after starting. This system
will compensate by delaying the time before reading the battery
voltage on the second and third start attempts. This delay will
allow most alternators to activate so the remote start will
continue to run.

The voltage read times are:

First attempt: 10 seconds
Second attempt: 20 seconds
Third attempt: 50 seconds

After the third start attempt, if the voltage increase is still not
adequate to keep the engine running, the Tachometer input
option should be used to monitor the engine.

Note! If the system has been programmed for
Tachometer monitoring previously, it must be
reprogrammed to Voltage monitoring.

42

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Tachometer Wire

Identify the suspected tach wire according to the web informa­tion. Next, place the black lead of a 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 from .50 volts to 6
volts, and should fluctuate when you rev the engine.

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
engine RPM increases). Once the correct tachometer wire has been
identified, turn the vehicle off.

Run the GREEN wire from the 8-pin harness through the firewall
into the engine compartment alongside 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

WARNING! In the following procedure DO NOT use
a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause
grounding of sensitive electrical components,
resulting in damage, including damage to the power
train control module. A digital multi-meter is
required to test for this wire.

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.

of insulation off the tachometer wire in the vehicle and solder the
green tachometer input wire to it. Then wrap the connection with
electrical tape.

LEARNING YOUR TACH SIGNAL

If using a tach wire, you must learn the tach signal after com­pleting the installation.

To learn tach signal:

1. Start car with key.

2. Wait about 5 seconds for the engine to idle down.

3. Press and hold the Momentary switch (about 10

seconds).

4. Tach learned: After a few seconds the LED will flash 2

times and turn on. Continue to hold the switch for 2 - 3
seconds and release.

5. Tach not learned: The LED will not turn on and will flash

3 times when the momentary switch is released. Check
the connections and try again.

Note! If using a tach signal, the tach signal MUST
be learned before using the remote starter.

44

Following is a brief description of the remainder of the wires in
the H2 harness. For specific details on connecting these outputs
contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Horn/siren wire

The Blue wire provides an output for activating the vehicle horn
circuit or an external siren. The output is programmable in Feature
Menu 1/9 for the desired use.

Wait-to-start wire

The Red/Black wire is for use with diesel engines that require a
short delay for the glow plugs to warm up before cranking the
engine. Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the
signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dashboard. In
most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and
the Red/Black wire can be directly connected. If the vehicle uses
a (+)12V to turn on the bulb, a relay must be used to change the
polarity.

Ignition Output wire

The Yellow/Green wire should be the ONLY the ignition input to an
existing aftermarket alarm system. This wire will prevent the host
system from sensing that the ignition is on during remote start
operation.

Trunk Release wire

The Green/White wire can be used to activate a vehicle trunk
release solenoid or to operate optional modules that require a

negative input. Whenever the button is pressed for a few

Important! This is a low current output which requires
an external relay when connected to circuits that draw
more than 400mA in current.

45

© 2007 Directed Electronics

seconds the system will disarm/unlock and then activate this
output. The output will then remain on until the transmitter
button is released.

Retained Accessory, Dome Light or Starter Kill wire

The Brown wire has three optional uses, depending on the vehicle
application and user preference. The three available operations are
programmable in Feature Menu 2/11.

➤

RAP or Retained Accessory Power: This option is
designed to turn off accessories that remain on after the
ignition is turned off. It will pulse 10 seconds after the
remote start status output ceases. It will cause the
vehicle body control module to “think” the door has
opened, thus turning the accessories off.

➤

Dome Light Supervision: This option will turn on the
dome light for 25 seconds each time the vehicle is
unlocked. It will cease if the doors are locked or the
ignition is turned on.

➤

Starter Kill/Anti-grind: This option activates when the
doors are locked to allow for starter kill for the alarm
system, and also works as an anti-grind when the
remote start is active.

Important! This is a low current output which
requires an external relay when connected to cir­cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

Important! This is a low current output which
requires an external relay when connected to cir­cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

46

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Headlight Control wire

The Yellow/Brown wire provides an output for activating the
vehicle headlight circuit. It is controlled by both the ignition
switch and the transmitter. It is programmable in Feature Menu
1/10 for the type of ignition controlled activation.

Door Trigger wire

The Gray/Black wire will trigger the alarm and is designed to be
connected to the door switch that turns on the dome light when
the door is opened. It is a negative input circuit only. If your
vehicle uses a positive door switch circuit, call for assistance in
making the connection.

Important! This is a low current output which
requires an external relay when connected to cir­cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

47

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Step 5, Mounting the Receiver/Antenna

Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle
owner prior to installation, since the antenna may be visible to
the vehicle’s operator.

The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on
either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the anten­na should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally
in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from
metal, but range will be diminished. Window tint or dot matrix
(small black dots at top of windshield) can also affect range, so
this should be a consideration when determining the mounting
location.

After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:

1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or
alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.

2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the
receiver/antenna.

3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double­sided tape.

4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module
and plug it into the four-pin antenna connector.

Important! To achieve the best possible range,
DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under
the dash. Always extend the cable full length dur­ing installation, regardless of the antenna mount­ing location.

Step 6, 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
20402, 29402 or 556L immobilizer bypass modules available at
your local authorized retailer or at www.directedstore.com. The
majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems can be
bypassed using the 20402, 29402 or 556U immobilizer bypass
module available at your local authorized retailer.

The WHITE/BLACK wire of the 6-pin harness supplies a 400mA (-)
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 which bypass module your vehicle requires, use the
website Interface Module Look-Up tool at www.readyremote.com.

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.

Step 7, Programming

Programming transmitters

Your system can learn up to 4 transmitters. The following proce­dure will show you how to add additional transmitters or replace
old ones. The remotes in this package have already been
programmed to the control module.

Each transmitter can be programmed one button at a time or you
can use an auto learn procedure that learns the intended factory
configuration. Learning one button at a time is generally only
used when using one transmitter to control two different cars.
Being able to program functions to different channels on each
transmitters prevents multiple cars from responding simultane­ously.

1. Turn the ignition ON

2. Press/release the Momentary switch the same number of
times as the desired transmitter learn step number, and
then Press/HOLD.

3. After holding the Momentary switch for 2 seconds the
LED will begin to flash to indicate the number of the
accessed transmitter learn step.

4. Press the transmitter button that you want to control
the function assigned to that channel. The Horn/Siren
will emit a long chirp.

Note: For transmitter learn Step #1, you must press the “*” but­ton on the transmitter. This will automatically program the trans­mitter buttons to the default function configuration. See the
transmitter button auto learn chart for the assignment functions.

51

© 2007 Directed Electronics

You can learn more than one transmitter function without having
to repeat the entire procedure by advancing to the next channel
immediately after programming your first channel.

To do this, first release the Momentary switch and then
press/release it the same number of times as the difference
between the current transmitter learn Step and the desired trans­mitter learn Step, and then press/HOLD it.

After holding the Valet switch for 2 seconds the LED will flash 8
times and repeat. You can now learn a transmitter button to step

8.

There are several ways to exit Transmitter Learning, by TimeOut,
Ignition or Momentary switch presses.

1. TimeOut: If more than 15 seconds elapse between
Momentary switch presses or transmitter signals.

2. Ignition: If the Ignition is turned off at any time during
transmitter Learning.

3. Momentary switch presses: if you press/release the
Momentary switch more times than there are Transmitter

Learning steps in the menu.

The Horn output will pulse 5 times rapidly and the LED will turn
off to indicate that you are exiting feature programming.

Example: To advance from Transmitter Learn
Step 2 to Transmitter Learn Step 8, release the
Momentary switch and then press/release it 6
times and HOLD it on the 7th press.

Programming System Settings

Many of the features and operations of this system can be changed
to suit most of today's vehicle electrical systems. The program­ming routine and feature menus that follow will allow making the
changes required for most vehicle installations.

System programming routine:

Accessing a Menu:

1. Turn the ignition ON and then OFF in less than 5 seconds

2. Within 3 seconds, Press/Hold the Momentary switch

3. After 2 seconds, the LED will flash and the Horn/Siren
will pulse to indicate the available menus. It will toggle
through the outputs until a menu is chosen.

a. Menu 1: 1 LED flash and 1 Horn/Siren pulse

b. Menu 2: 2 LED flashes and 2 Horn/Siren pulses

4. Release the Momentary switch after the appropriate
output in order to access that Menu. The LED and
Horn/Siren outputs will cease.

Accessing a Feature Location:

1. Press and release (do not hold) the Momentary switch
the same number of times as the feature location to be

System Diagnostics

Alarm Diagnostics

When arming or disarming the alarm, this system will alert you of
alarm triggers or active inputs.

Arming Diagnostics:

When arming, if the door or hood is open the Horn/Siren output
and Parking Lights will pulse three times instead of once.

The LED will flash pause, and then repeat 5 times to indicate the
active input. (See alarm input chart.)

The active input will be bypassed. When it has been active for
more than 5 seconds it will be monitored by the system again. All
other alarm inputs will be monitored normally to assure the secu­rity of the vehicle

Disarming Diagnostics:

When disarming, if the alarm was fully triggered in your absence,
the Horn/Siren output and Parking Lights will pulse four times
instead of twice.

The LED will flash pause, and then repeat 5 times to indicate the
input that caused the trigger (See alarm input chart).

Note! If the alarm was triggered more than once, the
diagnostics will only report the last input that fully
triggered the alarm.

Testing the System

Once steps 1-7 have been completed, the operation of the system

can be tested.

Ensure that the two 30-amp fuses are in the relay harness PINK

wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the

emergency brake on and the hood closed. Press on the remote

to initiate the remote start function. The parking lights should

flash to confirm the remote start command has been received. The

accessories and ignition should turn on followed by the starter

cranking and the vehicle engine running (this may take a moment

to initiate). Pressing on the remote will shut the engine off.

(See Programming System settings section for one-press remote

start operation)

This completes the testing. If all functions do not work correctly,

check your wiring against the manual and verify all connections.

If you still experience problems, contact Directed Technical

Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Neutral Safety Test

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch.

Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically inter-

rupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear.

If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide

protection from starting in gear.

However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and

the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In

these vehicles, it is impossible to interface the remote start

system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,

if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is acti-

vated, the vehicle will move and may cause damage to persons or

property.

Testing the Neutral Safety Switch

1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and
rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.

Note! You must complete the remote start system
installation before doing the following test.
Ensure that the remote start system is function­ing normally. This includes connecting to the
brake as a shut-down.

Important! This test must be performed to deter­mine if the vehicle will start while in gear. If the
vehicle attempts to start during this test you
must call Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382
for assistance before using the remote start fea­ture.

70

© 2007 Directed Electronics

2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote
start shut-downs active.

3. Set the emergency brake.

4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the
shifter.

5. Place the shifter in the drive position.

6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not
depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the starter
engages.

7. Activate the remote start system.

8. If the starter does not engage, no additional safety
interfaces are required.

9. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to
shut the remote start system down.

IF THE ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THEN THE

VEHICLE HAS FAILED THE TEST

CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE AT 1-800-477-1382

Warning! If the vehicle fails this test, the remote
start must be disabled until the proper Safety
Interface has been installed that will keep the
vehicle from starting while in gear. Failure to do so
may result in property damage, injury or death.

Troubleshooting

The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank.

Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle
have an engine immobilizer? Does 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 energizing it
yourself with a fused test lead.

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

The wrong ignition wire is being energized or the system's ignition
and accessory wires have been connected backwards. Also, the
vehicle may have two ignition circuits. Try activating 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 after the car 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. Verify that all of the heavy gauge wires are plugged into
the correct tabs on the control unit. If they are incorrectly
connected, the starter could stay engaged.

The climate control system does not work.

Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than
one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to
operate the climate control system.

The remote start will not activate.

Check to ensure that the hood is not open and that the brake
pedal is not depressed. 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 both 30A fuses on the main power wires. 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 YELLOW 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. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some Immobilizer
systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.

4. Check connections. The two PINK 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 PINK wire to each.

➜

The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.

Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle's immobilizer
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 module programmed for voltage sense? If so,
try programming the unit to tach mode, hooking up the tach wire,
and learning the tach signal.

Alarm and Security Features

Transmitter Arming of the Alarm

You can arm the system by pressing the button of your trans­mitter for one second. When the system arms, the Horn/Siren

output will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once.

If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will
also lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash once
per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your
vehicle.

If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 3 times, refer to the
Diagnostics Section. This indicates an alarm input is active at the
time of arming and should be checked. The LED will flash in groups
to indicate the active input.

Passive Arming of the Alarm

This system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming,
it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned
off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by
opening and closing a door.

Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming count­down, the status LED will flash rapidly. At the 30-second point,
the Horn/Siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash to indi­cate that the system is armed.

Note! If the door, brake or hood inputs are acti­vated during the 30 second countdown the
timer will stop and reset, it will re-start once
the input becomes inactive. Active sensor
inputs will not stop the countdown.

84

© 2007 Directed Electronics

Auto-rearming feature

Auto-rearming is designed to protect the vehicle in case of unin­tended disarming of the alarm.

It will automatically re-arm the alarm and lock the doors 120
seconds after any transmitter disarm occurs.

To stop Auto-rearm, open a door or turn the ignition on before the
120 seconds expires.

Alarm Input Operations

When armed, the alarm has 6 inputs which can cause a full alarm
trigger output. Refer to the Alarm Diagnostic section for addi­tional detail.

➤

The Door, Hood, Ignition and Brake inputs will cause an
immediate full trigger output when activated.

➤

The Sensor inputs can cause two types of outputs;
Warn-away and Full Trigger.

Alarm Trigger Outputs

➤

Warn-away output: this output consists of 5 chirps of
the Horn/Siren output and 3 flashes of the parking
lights.

➤

Full Trigger output: this output consists of flashing the
Parking lights and the Horn/Siren output for 30 seconds
followed by a 5 second pause to monitor the alarm
inputs. If an alarm input is still active the output will
repeat.

Note! An optional two-stage sensor (p/n 504d) is
required for the Sensor outputs to activate. Call
Technical Support for more information on compatible
sensors.

To disarm the security system, press the button of the trans­mitter. When the system disarms, the Horn/Siren output will chirp

twice and the parking lights will flash twice.

If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will
also unlock. The LED will turn off and the vehicle can be entered.

If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 4 times, refer to the
Diagnostics Section. This indicates that the alarm was fully trig­gered in your absence. The LED will flash in groups to indicate the
input that caused the trigger.

Momentary Switch Disarming the Alarm

If your transmitter is lost or will not disarm the alarm, you can
manually override it using your ignition key and the Momentary
Switch.

To override the Alarm using the Momentary Switch

➤

Enter the vehicle. The alarm will sound.

➤

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the On
position.

➤

Immediately press and release the Momentary Switch 2
times.

➤

After 2 seconds, the alarm will disarm as though the
transmitter had been used.

Panic Mode

This system includes a Panic Mode operation that will alert other
around you if you are threatened while in or near your vehicle. Due
to state laws the Panic Mode is defeated when the ignition is on.

Zone Bypass Feature

The Zone Bypass feature temporarily bypasses alarm inputs that
trigger excessively when the system is armed while monitoring the
other inputs for triggers. This keeps constant triggers due to envi­ronmental reasons from annoying the neighbors.

Protected entry bypass:

If the door, hood, brake or ignition inputs become activated
through three consecutive 30-second full trigger durations, it will
be bypassed until it has become inactive for more than 5 seconds.

Sensor bypass:

If one of the sensor inputs is triggered three times within 1 hour,
that input will be bypassed for 1 hour. If a trigger occurs on that
input while the bypass timer is active, the bypass timer will reset
to 1 hour.

You can Disarm and then Rearm the alarm to defeat the sensor
bypass at any time.
