30: Connects to the “Starter Side” of the cut OEM start wire.
Comments: At rest the relay is not active, and +12 volts on the starter wire passes through the
relay (through 87A & 30) normally. The Starter Kill output wire on the remote start module is
activated when the LOCK button is pressed on the remote control.
When a theft attempt happens, and the thief powers the Ignition circuit (to hot wire the vehicle), and
the Starter Kill was ARMED (by the LOCK button on the remote) the starter kill relay activates. The
OEM start wire is now open, (does not make connection) because 30 is no longer connected to
87A, and the vehicle is unable to start.
Strengthening current:
Example: Strengthening an output
Problem: A vehicle has a negative (-) trigger Trunk release wire. The module has a negative Trunk
release output wire. The remote start module is unable to supply the necessary current to activate
the vehicle's Trunk release wire.
Solution: A Relay is used to provide the necessary negative current to active the vehicle's Trunk
release wire.
The relay connections:
85: Connects to the start module's Trunk release wire output. This becomes the Negative trigger
for the coil.
86: Connects to a fused +12 Volt source.
87: Connects to a Negative source. i.e. The spot where the remote start module is grounded. This
becomes the supply for activating the vehicle's Trunk release wire.
87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this application.
30: Connects to the vehicle's Trunk release wire.
Comments: At rest the relay is not active and the vehicle's Trunk release switch is allowed to
operate normally. When the Trunk release button is pressed on the remote control, the start
module's Trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to
the vehicle's Trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk.
Troubleshooting Q & A
The following are some common install related issues.
A problem or symptom is given and then possible solutions and/or suggestions as to areas to verify
are enumerated.
1. I cannot program the remote control.
• Do the parking lights come on when you open the hood? (Does the hood pin work?)
• Is the antenna plugged in?
• Does the light on the remote control turn on when you press the button?
• Is the Ignition wire connected properly?
• Are you waiting too long between programming steps?
¾ After flashing the hood pin turn the key to ON, WAIT for 2 seconds.
