and pressing the hood-pin switch. The PAB will work only when the hood is up. ♦ Inspect vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems ♦ Always solder and tape all connections. ♦ Keep the transceiver away from other types of antennas (GPS/OnStar®). ♦ Never install the control unit where it could interfere with normal operation or obstruct service technicians. ♦ Always use a grommet when running wires into the engine compartment. Never run wires through bare or sharp metal.
current). In this case, the fuse box, or the B+ connection on the battery is recommended. Connect to Ignition wire of the vehicle. The source wire should have +12 V with the Ignition Key in the Ignition On (Run) and Crank positions. YELLOW Warning: some vehicles have more than one IGN wire at the IGNITION (+) 30 A D switch for powering the heater blower motor. Use the 5th relay (pin F) and ignition extra relays to power up any extra IGN. wires if necessary.
YELLOW +12 V Parking Light output 5 This wire provides a +12 V output (15 A max.) and must be connected to the Parking Light wire that tests +12 V when the Parking lights are ON. Note: Ensure that the voltage does not vary when the dimmer control switch is turned up or down. If this is the case, it is not the right wire. There is a also a negative Parking Light output. Only one of these two different outputs needs to be connected.
a Zone 3 sense wire; pressing TRUNK will send a 1-second disarm pulse. If Zone 3 is detected (ground), a rearm pulse will be sent 5 seconds after Zone 3 closes. If Zone 3 is unchanged (no ground), a rearm pulse will be sent 4 seconds after the button is pressed (disarm is sent only if the system was previously locked and armed). If secure lock is enabled, a lock pulse and a rearm pulse will be sent.
and the negative Glow-plug wire of the car. This is to prevent feedback effects on the Glow-plug indicator light on the instrument cluster: the light on the dash would come on because of the feedback, even though the circuit is off. When the user remote-starts the vehicle: • The Remote Car Starter will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the Starter Motor while the Glow-plug indicator light is still on.
The Installer … 1- The Module … Press and hold the hood pin for 4 seconds. Parking lights “ON” Let go of the hood pin. While the parking lights are “ON”, press down the hood pin once more. 4- Release the hood pin again —be careful not to over “ON” for 20 seconds flash the hood pin as this will bring up the events playback and will not bring you the programming centre. 5- You now have 20 seconds to select one of the submenus.
How to Program the Transmitter. 1. FLASH the Hood Pin Switch (see on page 9). Before the 20 seconds have passed, turn the Ignition Key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and then to the OFF position. 2. Press and hold the LOCK button until the vehicle gives 5 flashes. The Module has stored the Transmitter in its memory. 3. Close the Hood, to exit.
Note: The unit will stay in programming mode until the hood pin-switch or the brake pedal is pressed again. Therefore, take your time to make the proper selection. Pressing the brake pedal will bring you back to the programming menu, where you can select another mode. Each mode has functions for which options must be selected. Once you have selected Mode 1, Mode 2, or Mode 3, the system automatically moves to function one. You must then select the desired option for each function.
MODE 2 * INDICATES DEFAULT SETTING FUNCTION 1 – Safe start. OPTION 1 Safe start enabled OPTION 2* Safe start disabled OPTION 3 “Swap Start” – enhanced safe start mode with extended safety: To start the engine: press FUNCTION then LOCK buttons.
Auto Tach Programming Procedure NOTE: If no tach has been programmed and the START/STOP button is pressed, there will be no start attempt and the vehicle will give 5 flashes. If another Tach Programming is required, simply repeat the Auto Tach Programming Procedure. The Module stores the Tach setting, being AutoTach or Multi-speed Tach, until the Module is reset. ONLY if the Module is reset will a new Tach Signal need to be re-programmed.
Horn Honk Timing Follow these steps to program horn confirmation: 1. FLASH the hood pin (see on page 9). The parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds. 2. Press the brake pedal. 3. Press the UNLOCK and START/STOP buttons; the horn will honk 5 times. 4. Release the brake pedal. 5. To adjust the chirp duration: a. To increase the horn chirp by 3 ms, press the LOCK button. b. To decrease the pulse by 3 ms, press the UNLOCK button. c. To increase the pulse by 10 ms, press the START/STOP button d.
• • • • • Flashing LED ON: The LED will flash at all times (being passive or active arming) to denote that the Starter Kill is active. ACTIVE Arming: the LED flashes normally. PASSIVE Arming: the LED will flash, during the countdown, at a faster rate until the Unit is armed, at which time the flashing rate will slow down. In Valet Mode, the LED will be on solid. Flashing LED OFF: The LED will not flash when the module is armed (passive or active arming).
4. Press the TRUNK button to lock the doors and shut down the engine after 60 sec. running in Turbo Mode. Cold Weather Mode If Cold Weather Mode is activated, it will start and run the engine for 3 minutes every 2 hours (8 or 20 minutes for diesel engines). This will go on for a period of 24 hours. To activate Cold Weather Mode: Press F then START/STOP button for three seconds. The parking lights will flash 3 times. There will be one (1) “BEEP” as a confirmation. The icon will be displayed.
Smart Secure Lock If the vehicle is initially locked, at remote START the Module will send an UNLOCK/Disarm pulse before start-up, LOCK/Arm again when the engine is running, and LOCK/Arm once again 4 sec. after it shuts shut down the engine. If the vehicle is initially unlocked, upon remote start the module will start the engine and arm the starter kill, but the doors will not be locked or unlocked at any moment of the sequence.
Key Sense* With this option selected, while in passive mode, the starter kill will not rearm if the key is detected in ignition switch. If secure lock is programmed, it will not generate any lock and ream pulses if the key is sensed. When programming this feature, connect the negative external trigger input to key sense on the ignition switch. *Ninth pin of the 12-pin harness (external trigger wire).
To reset the Module, without using the plug-in Valet button: 1. 2. 3. Flash the hood pin switch (see on page 9). In 10 seconds or less, press the Brake Pedal 6 times. The Parking Lights will flash 8 times confirming the Reset. On some vehicles, such as, BMW, and certain Volkswagens, etc., pressing the Brake pedal without the key in the Ignition ON position, will not work and therefore you will need to hot wire the brake Pedal–manually jumping 12Volts, with a fused test lead, at the Brake Pedal switch.
Testing Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Remote-start the Engine and listen for Starter drag. If the Starter cranks for too long, carry out another Tach learning procedure.

Installation Order The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as guide for novices, to help make the process of Installing a remote start module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made, also the neatness of the install is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”. A Messy install is harder to trouble shoot if there are problems later on.
− The next step is to pre-wire the module. This Is done on your work bench, and not in the vehicle. Connect any external modules and relays that may be needed for you install. Tape or tie- strap wires that are going to be routed to the same areas of the vehicle. This will keep things neat when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back in until the powering stage of the install.
A basic introduction to the Relay: What is a relay? A device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit. An electromagnetic switch, remote controlled switch, a switching device. Why are Relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations. They are used mainly for isolation, inversion, interruption, strengthening current, and for powering multiple wires from one source SAFELY.
Remember, there is no polarity on a relay’s coil. This means that you may apply positive from the battery to either terminal 85 OR 86, and then Ground the OTHER terminal to activate the relay. In other words, you may use either a positive or negative trigger to energize the relay. Keep in mind, when the relay is energized, if the positive OR the ground connection on the coil is broken, the arm switches the connection between 30 back from 87 to 87a.
85: Connects in parallel to the Ignition 1 output from the remote start module. This becomes the positive side of the coil. 86: Connects to the Ground Out when Running wire from the remote start module. This becomes the negative side of the coil. 87: Connected to a Fused +12 Volts source, that is capable of supplying power for the vehicle's second ignition wire. This becomes the source of power for the 2nd ignition wire. 87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this application.
light wire is opened, and power from the remote start module is sent only to the actual Parking Lights ( from 87 through 30). Inversion: Example: Activating a Positive Trunk release switch Problem: The vehicle's power trunk release switch is activated by a positive (+) pulse, and the remote start module's Trunk output is negative (-). Solution: A relay is used to invert the negative signal from the start module to a positive signal before it is sent to the OEM switch.
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.
¾ Turn the key Off, On, Off then keep pressing the LOCK button repeatedly until you get 5 light flashes from the module. The entire process should take less than 20 seconds. 2. Won't start by remote • Does the light on the remote light up when you press the button? • Is the starter in valet mode? • Does the vehicle have passive antitheft security (PATS, VATS, PASSLOCK, TRANSPONDER)? 3. The car cranks for 8 seconds but won't start.
• Are you missing a second ignition or accessory? 12. Starts and runs OK but the Heater blower motor doesn't work • Incorrect Accessory wire • Does it have more then one accessory? 13. Starts OK, heater works but AC doesn't. • Missing second accessory (common on some Fords) 14. Check engine light comes on and vehicle doesn't shift, feels sluggish. • Missing second ignition. (common on some GMs) 15. On cold mornings the park lights come on, go out, and then flash 2 times slowly.
23. Radio stays on after the vehicle shuts down. • Retained Accessory Power will keep power to radio for approx. 10 - 15 minutes or until it sees a door open. (Fords, GM's R.A.P.) 24. Headlights stay on after car shuts down by remote. • Switch headlight switch from Auto to normal. (Toyotas) • On some vehicles, opening a door will shut the head lights off. Pulse the drivers door pin with the Rearm wire. 25. I get no 12v reading at all at the brake pedal, depressed or not.
