Installation Overview Be sure to read this section thoroughly and view the Do-ItYourself Installation DVD video in its entirety before starting the installation. Pay special attention to all warnings to prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle. Visit our 24-hour technical web site (www.readyremote.com) to get a vehicle-specific wiring guide prior to starting this installation. Have your crash code number handy when contacting tech support or visiting the web site.
Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections Ground Wire The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire. Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel (DO NOT GROUND ON DASH). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.
Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.). Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be obtained at www.readyremote.com. Note! More problems are attributed to poor ground connections than any other cause.
With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape. Note! If the vehicle has more than one constant power wire, use two of them. Connect one of the heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant power wires, and the other heavy gauge PINK wire to the other constant power wire.
If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.
Accessory and Starter Wires The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness as the ignition and constant power. To find the accessory wire, leave the multimeter’s black lead connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multimeter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position The multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank position.
If the GREEN wire is being used for Ignition 2, an additional relay (not provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the diagram below.
Many Nissan and Toyota vehicles have two starter wires. A relay and/or resistor (not provided) is required to hook up the additional starter wire. Refer to the diagram below.
Step 2, H1, Main Harness Connections Factory Alarm Disarm Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm, it is necessary to disarm it when unlocking the doors or during remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer system. They each require different disarm operations. Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site information. Once the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it.
Parking Light Flash There are several different types of parking light circuits. The following description is for a standard positive-triggered parkinglight circuit only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-) parking light circuit, the fuse jumper (on the side of the module) must be moved to the opposite position. A red 10 amp mini-fuse is included in a small plastic bag inside the packaging.
Safety Shutdown Wires With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin wires. WARNING! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They MUST be connected to prevent damage to the vehicle and possible bodily injury. First locate the factory brake wire using your multimeter. Find the switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal.
Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire, and run the wire into the vehicle's passenger compartment through a factory rubber grommet (at the same time you might want to run the Tachometer Input wire and Horn output wire from the Optional Harness through the fire wall as you may need to connect them using the following steps).
Step 3, H3 Door Lock Connections There are eight different types of door lock systems (Type A - H). Refer to the vehicle-specific wiring instructions on the web and the chart below to help determine which door lock system your vehicle uses. On some late model GM vehicles a door lock data interface module may be required. Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
All other door lock systems will require additional relays and/or resistors. A Directed Electronics 451M Doorlock module can be used for these other applications. The 451M also includes diagrams and resistors required for most applications.
Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it; one will test (+)12 volt constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12 volt when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position. If you cannot get to the switch, and you find a set of wires that pulse (+)12 volt alternately on lock and unlock, make sure that it is not a Type C direct-wire system.
Important: Remember that these wires’ functions reverse between Type A and Type B.
Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays This system is common in many Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas, Saturns, and almost all newer Fords with keyless entry systems. Use your vehicle sprcific wiring information to locate this wire. If you cut the wire and the locks stop working, then you are on the correct wire.
Type C: Direct-wired reversing polarity switches Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays OR one DEI 451M (not included). It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface the door locks properly. This door lock system will be referenced on our vehicle specific wiring information sheet as a "5wi" system. Locate wires that show voltage on lock and unlock. Cut one of the suspected wires and check operation of the locks from both switches.
Caution: If these wires are not connected properly, you will send (+) 12 volts directly to (-) ground, possibly damaging the alarm or the factory switch.
Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators In order for this system to control one or more aftermarket actuators, a DEI 451M (not included) or two relays are required. Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door, if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.
Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems Type E door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audis use a Type D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just two relays (optional). The control wire can be found in either kick panel and will show (+)12 volt when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when doors are locked. To interface, see diagram below.
Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock Type F door locks usually require a negative pulse to unlock and cutting the wire to lock the door. In some vehicles, these functions are reversed. Type F door locks are found in late-model Hyundai, Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-up. They are also found in some Mazda MPV's and some Mitsubishi's.
Type G: Positive (+) multiplex This system is sometimes found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of door lock system, two relays or a DEI 451M must be used. Single-Resistor Type If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12 volt in one direction and less than (+)12 volt when operated in the opposite direction.
Determining the Proper Resistor Values To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For all testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms. 1. 2. 3. 4. 38 Cut the output wire from the door switch/key cylinder in half. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.
Type H: Negative (-) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Chryslers and a few latemodel GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. Single-Resistor Type If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resistance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.
Determining the Proper Resistor Values To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For all testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms. 1. 2. 3. 4. 40 Cut the output wire from the door switch/key cyclinder in half. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.
Step 4, H2 Harness Engine Monitoring Explained During remote start, the system needs to know if the engine is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the vehicle's electrical system (or the tachometer: see next section). Voltage Monitoring Note! If the system has been programmed for Tachometer monitoring previously, it must be reprogrammed to Voltage monitoring. Vehicle electrical systems usually rest at about 12.6 volts when the engine is not running.
Tachometer Wire WARNING! In the following procedure DO NOT use a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components, resulting in damage, including damage to the power train control module. A digital multi-meter is required to test for this wire. Do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled in rotating engine components. Ensure that your hands and arms are well clear of these rotating components when working in the engine compartment.
of insulation off the tachometer wire in the vehicle and solder the green tachometer input wire to it. Then wrap the connection with electrical tape. Note! If using a tach signal, the tach signal MUST be learned before using the remote starter. LEARNING YOUR TACH SIGNAL If using a tach wire, you must learn the tach signal after completing the installation. To learn tach signal: 1. Start car with key. 2. Wait about 5 seconds for the engine to idle down. 3.
Following is a brief description of the remainder of the wires in the H2 harness. For specific details on connecting these outputs contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382. Horn/siren wire The Blue wire provides an output for activating the vehicle horn circuit or an external siren. The output is programmable in Feature Menu 1/9 for the desired use. Important! This is a low current output which requires an external relay when connected to circuits that draw more than 400mA in current.
seconds the system will disarm/unlock and then activate this output. The output will then remain on until the transmitter button is released. Important! This is a low current output which requires an external relay when connected to circuits that draw more than 400mA in current. Retained Accessory, Dome Light or Starter Kill wire The Brown wire has three optional uses, depending on the vehicle application and user preference. The three available operations are programmable in Feature Menu 2/11.
Headlight Control wire The Yellow/Brown wire provides an output for activating the vehicle headlight circuit. It is controlled by both the ignition switch and the transmitter. It is programmable in Feature Menu 1/10 for the type of ignition controlled activation. Important! This is a low current output which requires an external relay when connected to circuits that draw more than 400mA in current.
Step 5, 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.

Step 6, Immobilizer Bypass Modules Most newer vehicles have a factory engine immobilizer system designed to prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle. These immobilizers will cut off power to the starter and the fuel supply preventing a thief from starting the vehicle. There are several types of immobilizers, with the most common being the resistance-based Passlock/Passlock 2 systems found on most newer GM vehicles.
Step 7, Programming Programming transmitters Your system can learn up to 4 transmitters. The following procedure will show you how to add additional transmitters or replace old ones. The remotes in this package have already been programmed to the control module. Each transmitter can be programmed one button at a time or you can use an auto learn procedure that learns the intended factory configuration.
You can learn more than one transmitter function without having to repeat the entire procedure by advancing to the next channel immediately after programming your first channel. To do this, first release the Momentary switch and then press/release it the same number of times as the difference between the current transmitter learn Step and the desired transmitter learn Step, and then press/HOLD it.

Within 5 seconds Press and Release the Momentary Switch 3. After 2 seconds the LED will flashpause and repeat 5 times to indicate the cause of the most recent remote start activation. 4. Count the LED flashes and consult the Last Start Diagnostic Chart.
Shut Down Diagnostics: The system holds in memory the reason for the most recent remote start shut down. To access this report: 1. Step on the foot brake and hold until Step 4 has begun 2. Turn the ignition ON and then OFF in less than 5 seconds 3. Within 5 seconds press and release the Momentary Switch 4. After 2 seconds the LED will flash pause, and repeat 5 times to indicate the cause of the most recent remote start shut down. Release the foot brake now. 5.
Testing the System Once steps 1-7 have been completed, the operation of the system can be tested. Ensure that the two 30-amp fuses are in the relay harness PINK wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the emergency brake on and the hood closed. Press on the remote to initiate the remote start function. The parking lights should flash to confirm the remote start command has been received.
Neutral Safety Test Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part.
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 shifter in the drive position. 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. Activate the remote start system. 8. If the starter does not engage, no additional safety interfaces are required. 9.
Troubleshooting ➜ The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank. Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle have an engine immobilizer? Does it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the brake shutdown when performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock. Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by energizing it yourself with a fused test lead. ➜ The starter cranks for 1 or 2 seconds, but does not start.
➜ The remote start will not activate. Check to ensure that the hood is not open and that the brake pedal is not depressed. Check harnesses and connections. Make sure the harnesses are fully plugged into the remote start module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter and check for voltage between the RED wire and the BLACK ground wire. If you have less than battery voltage, check both 30A fuses on the main power wires.
➜ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle's immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting attempts. ➜ The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds. Is the remote start module programmed for voltage sense? If so, try programming the unit to tach mode, hooking up the tach wire, and learning the tach signal.
