Introduction This guide contains all the information relevant and necessary for the installation of the alarm and remote starter system. Most of the features of this product are explained in the user guide. Therefore, if you need detailed information about a feature of the product, we recommend that you 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.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The Programming Assistance Button (a.k.a. PAB): The PAB is mounted on the side of the unit. This push button mimics the hood-pin switch in order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the hood-pin switch. The PAB will work only when the hood is up. Inspect vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems. Always solder and tape all connections. Keep the transceiver away from other types of antennas (GPS/OnStar®).
Installation Order The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Visit www.Prostart.
• • • • Return to the engine bay and route the tach and hood pin wire to their corresponding connections. Solder the engine compartment wire once the connections are made. When the solder has cooled, the connections are then individually taped up, to isolate them. Use your DMM to verify that your ground location is good before grounding the module. The last step before programming is to power up the module. Replace the power fuses on the power wire fuse holders.
Quenching Diodes It was said earlier that a relay energizes itself by applying positive from the battery to either 85 or 86 and grounding the other terminal. This is not absolutely true, some relays are “polarized” if they have a quenching/ suppression diode (A diode installed between the coil terminals 85 and 86, could be internal or external).
The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the +12 volt park light output from the remote start module. This becomes the positive side of the coil. 86: Connects to a negative source (where the remote start module is grounded). This becomes the negative side of the coil. 87: Connects to the +12 volt park light output from the remote start module. This becomes the power supply for the vehicle's park lights. The OEM park light wire is cut. The side that is still connected to the switch becomes the “switch side”.
Comments: At rest the relay is not active, and +12 volts on the starter wire passes through the relay (through 87A & 30) normally. The starter disable output wire on the remote start module is activated when the LOCK button is pressed on the remote control. When a theft attempt happens, and the thief powers the ignition circuit (to hot-wire the vehicle), and the starter disable was armed (by the LOCK button on the remote), the starter disable relay activates.
clutch switch to the starter motor. When the key is turned to the start position without pressing the pedal, you will test 12v only on one of the wires at the clutch switch, this is the key side. When the pedal is pressed down, and the key is in the crank position, the other wire will also read 12 volts; this is the solenoid side wire. To confirm you have a direct feed clutch switch, hot wire the “solenoid side” wire with a fused +12 volts and the starter motor will crank.
Harness Description When connecting the Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the Ground wire is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be powered before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the unit. Be careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded. To avoid any accident, it is recommended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the installation, and to put them back during the very last steps.
5-Pin Secondary Harness 1 Wire BLACK (–) Chassis ground input 2 PURPLE (AC) TACH input 3 GRAY (–) Hood Switch input 4 ORANGE (+) Brake Switch input 5 YELLOW (+) +12 V Parking Light output Description This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or true Body ground). It is preferable to use a factory ground bolt rather than a self-tapping screw. Screws tend to get loose or rusted over time and can cause erratic problems.
5 Wire WHITE / GREEN (–) Disarm output 6 BLUE / WHITE (+) Positive Door input 7 WHITE / ORANGE (–) Starter Kill output 8 9 10 11 ORANGE (–) Parking Brake input PURPLE (+) Siren output Description 500 mA ground output when the button is pressed. This wire is for disarming OEM Alarm systems. Note: System will also give a DISARM pulse before remote start. This input should be used in vehicles that use a positive-switching Dome Light circuit.
Wire YELLOW (+) Glow-plug input 12 Description This positive input will monitor the Glow Plug Light in Diesel Mode: it will wait until the Glow Plug Light goes out to crank the Engine. Connect to the side of the Glow Plug Light that becomes positive when the Light is on. Note: In Diesel Mode there is an 18-sec. crank timing delay (or approximately 25-sec. if the run time is set to 30 min.): if the Glow Plug Light is still on after the delay expires, the module will proceed to start the Engine.
Wire Description 4 BLACK/ BROWN (–) Gives a negative pulse on the second press of the Priority door output only 5 YELLOW (–) Parking Light output button. 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 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.
