PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
We recommend using a digital multi meter to test all wires in the vehicle as on-board computer systems can be
damaged by using low resistance testing devices including, test lights, and even computer safe test lights (logic
test probe). Notice Air Bag systems and do not disconnect these systems as it may turn on a “check air bag
system” light or code that may need a dealer scan tool to clear the fault.
We also recommend testing all functions of the vehicle such as power windows, locks, HVAC systems. Check
for any instrument cluster lights that are on such as “Check Engine”, “Air Bag”, “TPMS” lights. Also check
that all lights work on the vehicle such as brake lights, headlights, interior lights, etc. Also check the interior
and exterior for any damage including scuffs, dents, fingerprints, etc. Be sure to note all deficiencies or other
problems and make customer aware of these before starting the installation.

With the door open press lock on the door panel lock switch and shut the door, or
Shut the door and turn the key in the lock key cylinder on the exterior of the door.
2. Wait approximately 1 minute then manually unlock the door and open. If the horn starts to sound then
the vehicle has a OEM Alarm System and proceed to Step 2. If there is no horn honks then the vehicle is not
equipped with an OEM Alarm System and you can move on to testing wires
3. To shut off the alarm follow this sequence, turn the key to the unlock position in the door cylinder. If the
horn stops honking then this is the way to disarm the OEM Alarm System, if this doesn’t work then try,
