3 Pin Lock Output Harness 1 BLUE UNLOCK ( - ) 3 GREEN LOCK ( - ) The door lock / unlock outputs are designed to control several different types of systems which may require additional parts. Please review the wire and location chart to see which type of door lock system is in your vehicle. The most common types are shown in the following diagrams. Negative Switching Locks All Door Lock and Unlock: Locate the lock / unlock wire at the vehicle’s lock / unlock switch.
Positive Switching Locks All Door Lock and Unlock: Locate the lock / unlock wire at the vehicle’s lock / unlock switch. Verification: These wires will register positive voltage when the Lock and Unlock switches are activated. Connect the GREEN and BLUE wires shown in the diagram below.
Negative Multiplexed Locks All Door Lock and Unlock: Locate the lock / unlock wire at the vehicle’s lock / unlock switch. Verification: This wire will show variable ground when the switch is activated. Please consult the wire and location chart for specific resistor values for your vehicle. Connect the GREEN and BLUE or BLUE/GREEN wires shown in the diagram below using (2) SPDT relays (not supplied).
Adding Aftermarket Actuators After installing aftermarket actuators, (not supplied). Connect the GREEN and BLUE wires shown in the diagram below using (2) SPDT relays (not supplied).
Additional Ports Antenna / LED / Programming Port Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle's windshield that will not block the driver's vision. A good location is usually high on the windshield near the rear view mirror. Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will effect system range. Route the antenna/ receiver cable to the control module and plug into the antenna port.
Set Up & Programming Transmitter Programming - Feature Bank 1 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Press and hold the valet/override button. 3. Within 10 seconds the system will chirp (3) three times. 4. Press 1 button of each transmitter you wish to program. 5. The system will respond with 1 chirp for each accepted transmitter. 6. Pressing the override button at anytime during programming will advance to the next bank. NOTE: The system will exit transmitter programming after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Defaulting All Features: Pressing the button anytime while in any of the feature banks will default all features and return you to feature bank 2 - 4 chirps. NOTE: The system will remain in feature programming mode as long as the ignition is on, there is no time limit. To exit programming turn the IGNITION OFF. Feature Bank 1 - 3 Chirps Transmitter Programming Refer to transmitter programming.

Tach Programming The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit may not realize that the vehicle is running in certain instances and reengage the starter motor.
Adjusting the Shock Sensor 1. Increase sensitivity by turning the adjustment dial clockwise. 2. Decrease sensitivity by turning the adjustment dial counter clockwise. Testing the Shock Sensor Arm the system and wait 6 seconds for the zone to stabilize, then firmly strike the vehicles bumper. Chirp Delete - User Accessible System ARM/DISARM chirps can be toggled ON or OFF without entering the programming feature banks. 1. Turn the ignition ON then OFF. 2.
Feature Descriptions Feature Bank 2 - Security 1 - Silent Choice: Controls the normal arm/disarm chirps of the security system. ON - Silent arming/disarming upon first press of lock/unlock, pressing lock/ unlock a second time will activate the arm/disarm chirps respectively. The system will only sound the arm/disarm chirps upon a second press of the lock/unlock buttons. OFF - normal arm/disarm chirps upon the first press of lock/unlock.
