SKS On Board KeylessGo Finder Instructions (sks v27.4 and up)

Beginning with V27.4 (see serial number sticker on the rear of the SKS unit), there is an on board KeylessGo ﬁnder. This will

make ﬁnding the correct plug for connecting to the KeylessGo system on vehicles that require it much easier. The basic install of

the Smartkey Starter®"needs to be completed prior to testing for KeylessGo (this guide assumes the starter module is installed

and properly working).

Instructions

1. Locate the speciﬁed CAN distribution block where the KeylessGo connection should be made.

2. Turn the key to accessory (one click clockwise from the off position). If there is a push button in the ignition cylinder, it can be

removed so the key can be inserted in its place. Grasp the button and pull it out of the ignition switch.

3. Look inside the Smartkey Starter® module through the end plate opposite the main wiring plug. You should see red LEDs that

are lit up. One of those should be flashing at a slow pace.

4. In the CAN distribution block, begin to remove connectors one at a time. Each connector should be unplugged for 15-20

seconds each. Observe the flashing light as you do this. You should end up with two connectors that cause the flashing light to

stop flashing and stay solid on or solid off.

5. Isolate those two connectors to one end of the distribution block and leave the rest alone.

6. Turn the key to the off position and remove it.

7. Take the two connectors from step 5 and remove one at a time. Once one is removed, use the keyfob to unlock the doors.

Removing one of those connectors will cause the door locks to stop working from the keyfob and one won’t.

8. Take the connector that caused the door locks to stop working and plug it back in.

9. Connect the KeylessGo harness to the plug from step 7 where the door locks continued to work.

DEI Connection Instructions

Each DEI compatible Smartkey Starter® is equipped with a (4) pin and a (3) pin connector at the end.

The (4) pin connector is designed to accept a D2D cable from an XL202 RF translator module to provide the ability for

adding long range remotes and 2 way capability to the Smartkey Starter®. There is no programming required for the

module. The remotes need to be programmed to the XL202 which should have instructions provided with it.

The (3) pin connector is designed to accept the ESP cable that comes with the Directed SmartStart module (DSM100

or DSM200). The cable can be plugged directly in to the port. The power and ground must be connected (soldered

and taped) to the Smartkey Starter® harness. Please see the below diagram.
