“SMART TACHLESS” MODE
Your CoolStart system includes a unique voltage monitor called “Smart Tachless” mode. This mode allows this unit
to efficiently start an engine without the use of a tach signal wire. These modules actively monitor the voltage level
of the vehicle to control the starter motor each time a remote start is requested.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) On the rare occasion that “Smart Tachless” mode does not operate satisfactorily, change the voltage reference
level as described below, or use a different mode such as “Tach” mode, or “Timed Crank” mode.
TACH FINDER & USEFUL TIPS
TACH FINDER MODE:
This Tach Finder mode can assist in locating a Tach source for your installation. When following the steps, the unit
will begin to flash the parking lights if you have the Red/White wire connected to a tach source. If lights do not flash,
then try another wire until you locate a tach signal that will cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On some
vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see any flashing parking lights. In this case your
only notification will be the slight “ticking” sound coming from the module’s flashing light relay.
TACH FINDER STEPS:
1. Open hood (or ground the gray hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Start Engine with the key.
3. Press the Program button for 2 seconds
4. The Parking lights will flash 10 times if the Red/White wire is connected to a valid tach source. If not, try a
different tach wire.
5. Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood to abort (Remove gray hood pin wire from ground).
6. Now follow the Tach Programming steps.
