Warning! Safety First Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. ➤ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation.
Installation Points to Remember Before Beginning the Installation IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems.
3. Start and run the vehicle. 4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter. 5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V. Finding the WAIT-TO-START Bulb Wire for Diesels In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dashboard. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out the vehicle can be started.

Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire. H1/2 WHITE (+/-) Selectable Light Flash Output As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper is moved to the (-) position (see the Programming Jumper section of this guide), this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output.
H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) Activation Input A momentary input on this wire will start or stop the motor, just as transmitting Channel 3 from the remote transmitter does. It is often connected to an optional momentary push-button switch to make activating Valet Take Over more convenient. H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA Domelight Supervision Output Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown in the following diagram: IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay.
H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input, zone 3 Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire showing ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles there is generally a need to use individual door triggers. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This wire will report Zone 3. NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T Bitwriter can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.
H1/8 BLACK (-) Chassis Ground Connection Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel) using a factory bolt that DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the same location.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.
indicator and the ECM. (See the following diagram for details.) H2/2 LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (-) Factory Disarm Output This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start is activated. This can be used to pulse the disarm wire of the vehicle's factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the disarm wire as shown in the diagrams below. This wire can also be used as a special accessory output. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.
➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ ➤ Validity: Output that will send a signal as long as the transmission is received. Latched: Output that will send a signal when the Channel 4 button(s) is pressed and will continue until the same button(s) is pressed again. Latched, reset with ignition: Similar to the latched output, this type of output turns on the first time the Channel 4 button(s) is pressed and turns off the next time the same button is pressed.
Heavy Gauge Relay Satellite Wire Descriptions RED (2) (+)12V Input for Relays Remove the two 30 amp fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.

This output provides 200mA as soon as the remote starter is activated. It can be used to power a relay to energize a positive (+) third ignition as shown below. This output is capable of driving two relays if necessary. H3/3 GRAY (-) Hood Pinswitch Input, Zone 1 This wire MUST be connected to the hood pinswitch. This input will disable or shut down the remote start when the hood is opened. It will also trigger the security system if the hood is opened while the system is armed and report Zone 1.
Connect this wire to the toggle (override) switch as shown in Figure A. Connect the other wire from the toggle switch to the park/neutral switch in the vehicle. This wire will test ground with the gear selector either in PARK or NEUTRAL. This will prevent the vehicle from accidentally being started while in a drive gear. This input MUST rest at ground in order for the remote start system to operate. Connected properly the vehicle will only start while in PARK or NEUTRAL.
as a shut-down. Testing the Neutral Safety Switch 1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly. 2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active. 3. Set the emergency brake. 4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the shifter. 5. Place the car in drive (D). 6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the starter engages. 7.
IMPORTANT! The door lock outputs are low current and should not be attached directly to any high current device; they are only to be used to activate relays NOTE: For detailed instructions about connecting to the vehicle’s power door lock systems, refer to the Door Lock Wiring guide (Document No. 1041), available only to authorized dealers though the technical resources listed at the front of this guide.
Programmer Interface, 3-Pin Port The BLACK three-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. When using the 998T Bitwriter, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions. For more information please refer to the guide packaged with the programmer. This port can also be used to interface with Directed Video components for on-screen security system programming and trigger information. Shock Sensor Harness, 4-Pin Connector GREEN (-) multiplex input, zone 2 Inputs shorter than 0.
Mounting the Receiver/Antenna Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle owner prior to installation, since the antenna may be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished.
Programming Jumpers Light Flash Jumper This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the onboard relay is disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200 mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays. NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output.
System Features Learn Routine The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of steps, they have been broken up into three menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings using the Valet/Program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the 998T Bitwriter. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to a particular transmitter, up to four, a feature called Owner Recognition.
5. Program the Feature. While HOLDING the Valet/Program switch, you can toggle the feature on and off using the remote transmitter. Pressing the lock button will select the one chirp setting. Pressing the unlock button will select the two chirp setting. (See System Features Menus section of this guide.) NOTE: Some features have more than two settings. Pressing the lock button selects the one-chirp setting; pressing the unlock button will cycle through all possible two-chirp settings. 6.
No activity for longer than 15 seconds. Press the Valet/Program switch too many times. ➤ ➤ System Features Menus Items in bold text have been programmed to the default setting at the factory.

1-4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1-1, then the system can be programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms. NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door is closed.
Menu #2 - Advanced Features 2-1 SIREN OUTPUT CONSTANT/PULSED: The system can be programmed to output pulses instead of a continuous output when the system is triggered. This is useful to honk the factory horn in applications where a siren is undesirable. Remember that the unit is only capable of supplying 1 amp of current. A relay will be required to interface with most factory horn systems.
system will turn on the dome light for 60 seconds when the ignition is turned off. The optional dome light supervision feature must be installed as described in the Wire Connection Guide. 2-8 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE H4/C wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a single pulse.
chirp settings. 3-6 VOLTAGE CHECK HI/LOW: This feature only functions when programmed for voltage sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the variation of voltage between the engine off and the car running is very small and the remote start unit may "think" the vehicle has not started. This can cause the remote start to shut-down after the car has been started. If this happens program this feature to the LOW position.
3. Select the receiver Channel. Press and release the Valet/program switch the number of times necessary to access the desired channel. Once you have selected a channel, press and HOLD the Valet/program switch once more. The siren will chirp and the LED will blink the number of times corresponding to the channel that has been accessed. NOTE: If adding a remote, a button must be taught to the unit in the Channel One or Channel Five position prior to programming other channels. 4.
You can advance from one channel to another by releasing the Valet® /Program button and tapping it to advance channels and then holding it. For example, if you want to program Channel Three after programming Channel One, release the Valet®/Program button. Press it twice and release it to advance to Channel Three. Then press it once more and hold it. The siren will chirp three times to confirm it is ready to receive the code from the transmitter.

Safety Check Before vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation.
➤ neutral safety switch. (See H3/6 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.) If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. Once the system passes the three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use the remote start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety check tests.
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: ➤ Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Diagnostics section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem. The Valet®/Program switch doesn't work.
