Introduction This Guide contains all information pertinent to the installation. Most (if not all) features are grouped in the User Guide. Therefore, should you need information on a feature, please refer to the User Guide. Included in the Package Please review the Installation Guide before beginning the installation, particularly the Wiring Schematic and the Programming Options.
• • • • • • • • • Keep the transceiver away from other types of antennas (GPS/OnStar®). Never install the control unit where it could interfere with normal operation or obstruct service technicians. Always use a grommet when running wires into the engine compartment. Never run wires through bare or sharp metal. Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios. Never ground the control unit to the steering column.
♦ When all the wires have been tested and found, they can be stripped to expose the wire (over one inch of insulation should be removed). ♦ It is always better to strip more than you need. A common way cold solder joints happen is when not enough insulation is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the insulation from the wire melts and flows into the connection instead of the solder. ♦ Decide where the module is going to be mounted.
A basic introduction to the Relay What is a relay? A relay is a switching device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit such as an electromagnetic switch, remote controlled switch, a switching device. Why are relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations. They are mainly used for isolation, inversion, interruption, strengthening current, and for powering multiple wires from one source safely.
40: Indicates that the normally closed circuit (30 and 87a) can safely handle a maximum of 40 amps of current. 30: Indicates that the normally open circuit (30 and 87) can safely handle a maximum of 30 amps of current. Examples: The following examples demonstrate some of the most common uses for relays: isolation, inversion, interruption, strengthening current, and for powering multiple wires from one source safely.
The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the start module's trunk release output wire. This becomes the negative side of the coil. 86: Connects to a fused +12 volts source. This becomes the positive side of the coil. 87: Connects to a fused +12 volts source. This becomes the supply for the positive trunk release. 87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this application. 30: Connects to the OEM trunk wire in the vehicle. Comments: At rest, the trunk switch is allowed to operate normally.
start module, to bypass the clutch during remote starts. Relays are often used to accomplish this. Always use the Ground Out When Running (G.O.) as the negative trigger on your clutch bypass relays, as it is only active during remote starts. NEVER permanently bypass a clutch switch. Do not attempt this if you are unfamiliar with the use of relays, and diode isolation.
Normally Closed ( N/C ): Note: There are different types of this system used by various vehicle manufacturers; the following is used to illustrate how these systems work in general. A Relay is also used in these types of systems to interrupt the starter wire. In the previous two examples, the clutch was bypassed by engaging the clutch relay; with this system you bypass the clutch by preventing the clutch relay from engaging.
E ORANGE (+) 30 A Accessories output F GREEN (+) 30 A 5th relay output relay (pin F) and extra relays to power up any extra IGN. wires if necessary. DO NOT JUMP WIRES at the IGNITION switch, this will compromise the OEM electrical system. This wire is for powering the heater blower motor. It is usually classed as an ACC. (no power in the CRANK position.) if it tests as an IGNITION (power in the crank pos.) then power it as an IGNITION (5th relay, or extra relay).
-Pin Accessories Harness Wire Description 500 mA negative output. This output can be used to control Trunk release (1-sec. pulse). Note: AUX 3 (TRUNK) operates only when Ignition is OFF or when the vehicle is running under remote control. 1 BLUE (–) AUX 3 (Trunk) output 2 BROWN (–) Lock output Programmable 500 mA, 7/10sec., or 4 sec negative outputs. 3 GREEN (–) Unlock output Programmable 500 mA, 7/10sec., 4sec., or double 1/4 sec. pulse negative output.
10 WHITE (–) Ground out when running 11 GRAY (–) Negative Door input 12 YELLOW (+) Glow-plug input CT-3271 This wire provides a constant 500 mA negative output while the vehicle is remote started. The output becomes active 1.5sec before Ignition, and becomes inactive when the Module shuts down. The output can be used to activate external relays, bypass kits, etc.
3-pin Harness Wire Description 1 GRAY/ LIGHT BLUE N/A 2 BLUE / WHITE (–) Horn output 500mA negative Horn output. 3 YELLOW / WHITE (–) Parking lights output 500 mA negative Parking Light output Note: Ensure that the voltage does not vary when the dimmer control switch is turned up or down. If this is the case, you have selected the wrong wire. WARNING! There is also a positive Parking Light output. Only one of these two different outputs needs to be connected.
Manual or Automatic Transmission This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be necessary before those changes become effective. To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission: 1.
Entering Programming Mode This allows the installer to program the unit. Once the system is in programming mode, the installer will have up to 20 seconds to select one of the sub-menus. If the installer fails to select a sub-menu before the 20-second delay, the system will exit programming mode. Using the Antenna Programming Assistance Using the Hood Pin Button (A.P.A.B.) (Optional) • Press and hold the hood pin for 4 seconds. • Release the hood pin. The parking lights will turn ON.
Note: For vehicles that require the ignition to be turned ON to activate the brake, follow these steps: a. After flashing the hood, turn the ignition ON; The parking lights will turn OFF b. After 4 seconds the parking lights will turn ON and then press the brake. Transmitter Programming Procedure 1. Enter programming mode (page-16) the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds. 2. Before the lights go out, turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and immediately to the OFF position.
Optional Time Delay Adjustment in Virtual Tach System Follow these steps to program crank time adjustment, if needed: 1. Enter programming mode (page-16) the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds. 2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press button and simultaneously the parking lights will flash 4 times. Do not release the brake pedal. 3. Press button if you wish to increase the time delay or button if you want to decrease it.
Auto Tach Programming Procedure This process can be carried out instead of the conventional Tach Programming Procedure. 1. Make sure all the connections are done properly and that the Module has been powered-up. 2. With the Hood up (Ground on the Hood Pin line), start the vehicle using the key. 3. Start up the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed. 4.
Arming and disarming the starter kill This added security feature will prevent the vehicle from starting with the Ignition key when the starter kill is armed. If the system was installed with the starter kill option, you will not be able to start the vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked first or put into Valet mode.
Secure Lock This feature allows the module to control certain OEM factory alarm systems without requiring the use of other wires for disarming the OEM alarm. (Namely, this feature is designed for OEM systems that use the factory lock wire to arm the alarm and the unlock wire to disarm it.) 1) Standard Secure Lock disabled: By default, the unit will send a disarm pulse before IGN, an arm pulse once the car is remote started and an arm pulse 4 sec after the engine shuts down.
Note2: If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the vehicle will enter Ready Mode. Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode. Turbo Mode Note: Turbo Mode can be activated only if button.
