If the remote starter has a failed start attempt or if a safety input is activated the Diagnostic Memory will store
up to four shutdowns in memory. This information can then be accessed to determine the source of the
shutdown.

To Enter Diagnostic Mode:
Step 1 - Turn the ignition on wait two seconds then turn off. Press the Program Button and release.
Step 2 - The system will respond with three park light flashes and the horn will honk (optional) the

same number of times as the events in memory. ( Maximum four events, four honks)

NOTE: If the horn does not honk, there are no events in memory.
Step 3 - Press the Program Button once to view the last shut down code. The (optional) Horn will honk once

to confirm code one. (If the horn does not honk, there are no codes in memory).
Step 4 - The LED’s on the antenna will flash a code corresponding to a shut down trigger. Press the
Program Button again to check the second code. The horn will honk twice to confirm code two.
Step 5 - To Clear Diagnostic Memory. While in Diagnostic Mode press and hold the Program Button for five
seconds. The park lights will flash and the horn(optional) will honk once.
NOTE: Once diagnostic memory has 4 shutdown events in memory, the system will not record

2

Any further shutdown events until the system memory has been cleared.

Recommended Pre-Installation Procedures

BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION:

- Discuss the optional features with the customer.

- Take a few minutes to review the installation and owners manuals.

- Check if the vehicle has a factory security or anti-theft system.
*If equipped, inform the customer of addition parts and labour.

- Do a walk around the vehicle and check for any damage.

- If installing a LED discuss the placement with customer before installing.
Note: This remote starter is designed for fuel injected and diesel engines.

Recommended Installation Procedures
Proper Connections - Remote Starters can handle loads of up to 30 amps for extended periods of time. It

is CRITICAL to insure that ALL high current connections are properly soldered and insulated with quality
electrical tape. Failing to insure proper connections will result in warranty being VOID and can result in a
FIRE. The manufacturer is not responsible for any such damages. It only takes a few more minutes to do the
job RIGHT.

Under Hood Connections - Route the hood pin and tach wires through the firewall into the engine
compartment. Always try to pull the wires through a factory rubber grommet. If drilling through the firewall, BE
CAREFUL. Check for obstructions on both sides of the firewall. After drilling use a snap in grommet to protect
the wires from sharp edges.

Installing the External Long Range Antenna - To insure the best possible reception, place the
antenna in the center of the windshield, behind the rear view mirror. Before attaching to the glass ensure that
the surface is clean and dry. For best results with range, place the antenna below the tint screen. Run the
cable under the headliner and behind the A-pillar panel. Be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. Plug the
antenna into the BLUE connector on the Control Module.
NOTE: This step is not used on Alarm Only Units with no External Antenna.

Mounting The Control Module - Never mount the module in the engine compartment. Select a location
under the dash to install the main module. Be certain that the module is securely attached and does not
obstruct any serviceable areas. Do not force or jam the module into tight places instead of mounting. The
module must be free from all moving parts such as brake and clutch and gas pedals linkages. Do not place
the module directly in front of a heater vent.

Testing The System - When the installation is complete, it will be necessary to test that the system is
working correctly. The system’s default programming will work on the majority of vehicles, but might need to be
adjusted for some applications. If the installation requires special timing or additional features, proceed to
Program Mode.

ATTENTION: Hood Pin MUST always be connected!!

NOTE: Always inform user to place system in Service Mode before any service work is performed on

4

the vehicle.
