Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected. Important: After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters may over crank or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used fine tune the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence.
Remote Start Shutdown/Startup Diagnostics Shutdown diagnostics: If the remote start activates but fails to stay running, the remote start module has the ability to inform you of what may have caused the remote start failure. Before performing shutdown diagnostics it is important that you let the remote start shut off on its own i.e. let it attempt to start 3 times then shut down, if this is not done the unit will report the shutdown you used to shut off the remote start.
Remote Pairing Prepare the vehicle system to be Paired with a new remote 1. Open a door. 2. Turn the key to the ON position. 3. Within 5 seconds press and release the Control button on the Control Center one time. 4. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control button on the Control Center. The status LED will flash one time and the siren then chirps to confirm the vehicle is ready for remote pairing. 5. Release the Control button and proceed below.
Programming System Features The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change most of the feature settings using the Control button. 1. Open a door. 2. Turn the ignition on, then off. 3. Select a Menu. Press and hold the Control button. The number of siren chirps indicates the menu number. 1 chirp indicates menu 1, 2 chirps - menu 2 and 3 chirps for menu 3. 4. When the desired menu chirps are heard, release the Control button. 5. Select a Feature.

On: the Door lock and Factory Alarm Re-arm outputs will arm/lock the vehicle during remote start and after shutdown Bitwriter - Only Options If programming with the Bitwriter®, the learn routine can be locked or unlocked. If the learn routine has previously been locked, it must be unlocked with Bitwriter® - this cannot be done manually with the Control button. The Bitwriter® gives you access to a wider range of system options.
1. Zone 4 Sensor Type: sets the Zone 4 (Sensor 2) name to be displayed in the Text Field for Warn-away and Full Trigger activations 2. Siren Duration: sets the Full Trigger output duration in 1 second intervals up to 180 seconds. 3. Aux/Trunk Icon Type: sets the Accessory animation to be displayed on the screen when the Aux/Trunk output is activated/de-activated 4.

Basic Remote Functions See Owner’s guide for functionality details on both the LE and 1-way companion remote control. Reset and Deletion If a feature/virtual tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure. 1. Open a door. (The green wire, H2/6, or the violet, H2/12 must be connected.) 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be connected). 3.
Table of Zones A zone is represented by the number of status LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Zone Description Input Description 1 Trunk Pin H2/19 Blue wire 2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact detected by the onboard shock sensor Shock sensor.
Troubleshooting: Remote Start The remote start will not activate the remote start 1. Check remote startup diagnostics. 2. Is the neutral safety switch plugged in and turned on? 3. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, make sure the remote start is programmed for Automatic Transmission mode. 4. Is the remote programmed to the system? 5. Can the remote start be activated manually by applying a ground pulse to the H2/21 White/Blue wire? 6. Check the harnesses and their connections.
The vehicle starts, but will only run for 10 seconds 1. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If this does not work, a tach wire should be used. 2. Check shutdown diagnostics. The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle. 1. Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to operate the climate control system. 2.
