Ignition controlled door locks. Constant or pulsed Groundout when running. Run time (5,15, or 25 minutes) Maximum crank duration (6,8, or 12 seconds). Childproof operation. Gasoline or Diesel engine operation. VALET MODE (AS-1202 ONLY) The AS-1202 system ONLY is equipped with an electronic valet mode. The Electronic Valet Switch works only with the ignition key turned to the RUN position, so the vehicles key must be present to place the system IN or OUT of Valet mode. In order to place the unit INTO valet mode you must do the following: 1- Turn ignition key to the “ON” position (Wait 3 sec) 2- With key ON, turn Valet switch to the “ON” position. (Wait 3 sec) 3- Now L.E.D should be on solid 4- Turn ignition key OFF (system should now be in valet)If L.E.D is not on constant than repeat steps 1 to 4. procedures should be done every time a new unit is installed. This is because the tach signal from some ignition systems can sometimes be too high or too low, thus causing failed starts under different temperatures. To get the system OUT of VALET mode you must do the following: 1- Turn ignition key to the “ON” position (Wait 3 sec) 2- With key ON, turn Valet switch from the ON position to the “OFF” position. (Wait 3 sec) 3- Now L.E.D should be off. 4- Turn ignition key OFF (system should now be in valet)If L.E.D is not off than repeat steps 1 to 4. The procedures for tach adjustment are as follows: 1. Hold hood switch down for 6 seconds 2. Release pinswitch (parking lights should come on) 3. With parking lights on, immediately push and release pinswitch again. 4. Parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds (if not repeat from step 1) 5. With lights on press Channel 3 (Trunk) of remote transmitter at the same time. (lights will flash 1 to 7 times) 6. Start the vehicle using the key. 7. If lights stay on, then you have selected an incorrect tach wire. (relocate tach wire and start from step 1) If lights go off then proceed to the next step. 8. Allow vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed, then press and release brakes. (parking lights will flash appropriate setting, from 1 to 7 flashes) 9. Press Channel 3 (Trunk) of remote transmitter, to save setting. (Parking lights will flash one long flash) TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING All Autostart transmitters do not come preprogrammed. They must be “CODE LEARNED” at the time of installation. The unit will hold up to 4 transmitter codes in memory. To program a new transmitter: 1. 2. 3. 4. Raise the hood Turn valet switch “off”. Turn ignition “on”. Turn valet switch “ON”. Parking lights SHOULD turn on for 5 seconds. 5. Press channel 1 on transmitter within 5 seconds of step 4. (lights will flash 5 times fast, and 2 times slow) 6. Turn ignition off and close the hood. MULTI CAR OPERATION (Only available on 1203 & 1204) *To program transmitter to second vehicle for multi-car operation, you must press on the transmitters channel 3(trunk) in step 5 of transmitter code learning. (See above for Transmitter code learning) NOTE: A manual adjustment should only be done if the auto setting is not completing the crank cycle properly in cold weather. MANUAL TACH SEARCH AND SETTING The AS-1203/04 systems feature multi-car operation. This allows the owner of two Autostart systems in two of his/her vehicles to control both systems with one transmitter. (Both vehicles must be equipped with an AS1203/04. The remote transmitter of the primary vehicle can control the starter disable system, the door locks and the remote car starter operation of the second vehicle. The remote transmitter of the second vehicle can also operate the primary vehicle 1. Hold hood switch down for 6 seconds 2. Release pinswitch (parking lights should come on) 3. With parking lights on, immediately push and release pinswitch again. 4. Parking lights will stay on for 20 sec. (if not repeat from step 1) 5. Press Channel 3 (Trunk) of remote transmitter at the same time (lights will flash 1 to 7 times) 6. Now you can increase or decrease the tach setting, depending on your needs. 7. Button 1 will decrease the setting, and button 2 will increase the setting. 8. After proper setting has been reached, push Channel 3 (Trunk) to save setting. (parking lights should flash once long) TACH ADJUSTMENTS Autostart systems have two methods of fine tuning the tach signal that is generated from the vehicle, the first method is manual tach search and setting, and the second is automatic tach search and setting. Either method can be used, however an automatic search is recommended. Tach adjustment vehicle’s starter wire is then interrupted until the starter kill is disarmed by pressing button 1 (unlock) on the remote. If the doors were not locked within the initial 45 seconds of the ignition being turned “OFF” the first press of button 1 will disarm the starter kill, unlocking the already unlocked doors before they can be locked again, arming the starter kill. Enabling Toggle Mode will circumvent this logic and allow the doors to lock on the first press of the button regardless of how much time has elapsed since the ignition was turned “OFF”. This means that when the door lock will always perform the opposite of the last remote door lock action. CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Autostart systems are equipped with 2 custom programming menus that allow the user to custom fit the system according to the installation requirements. These options are designed to help make interfacing with all vehicles possible. To get into custom programming mode you must do the following: 1. Hold pinswitch down for 6 sec. 2. Release pinswitch (parking lights will come on) 3. Immediately push and release pinswitch once again. (parking lights will stay on for 20 sec.) 4. Press and hold brakes, and press 1 or 2 on remote transmitter. (Button 1 for mode one, and Button 2 for mode two) (lights will flash once for mode 1 and twice for mode 2) FUNCTION 2 OPTION 1* OPTION 2 sec) OPTION 3 After you have entered into one of the two programming menus you can release the brake pedal. The unit will stay in programming mode until the hood pinswitch is pressed or the valet switch has been turned off. (so take your time to make the proper selection) The menu will automatically start you at function one, once you choose from one of the three Options, you will automatically jump to the next function. To select one of the three options press the appropriate transmitter button. (see below) 1. Button 1 = Option 1 2. Button 2 = Option 2 3. Button 1 & 2 = Option 3 Constant “GROUNDOUT” with disarm pulse on defrost line (pin # 15) FUNCTION 3 OPTION 1* OPTION 2 OPTION 3 .75 second door lock / unlock pulses. 4 second door lock / unlock pulses. One 1 second lock pulse and two ¼ second unlock pulses. FUNCTION 4 OPTION 1* Once an option has been selected the parking lights will flash 1,2 or 3 times. (Depending on option selected) OPTION 2 MODE 1 OPTION 3 *INDICATES DEFAULT SETTING Trunk release on channel 3 (will not receive signal while ignition is “ON”) Garage door transmitter control (will receive signal with Ignition “ON”) Channel 3 used for activation / deactivation of cold weather mode. FUNCTION 5 FUNCTION 1 OPTION 1* OPTION 2 OPTION 3 Constant “GROUNDOUT” Pulsed “GROUNDOUT”(1 OPTION 1* OPTION 2 OPTION 3 Ignition Lock ON Ignition Lock OFF Ignition Lock ON and locks in TOGGLE MODE* *DOOR LOCK TOGGLE MODE External trigger disabled External trigger enabled Child proof Operation (Transmitter button must be pressed for 4 seconds) MODE 2 * INDICATES DEFAULT SETTING Autostart has a built-in starter kill feature and even if the starter kill is not installed, the logic for it still dominates the operation of the system. What this means is that the starter kill will arm automatically 45 seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned “OFF”. The FUNCTION 1 OPTION 1 OPTION 2* OPTION 3 5 minute run time 15 minute run time 25 minute run time FUNCTION 2 OPTION 1 OPTION 2* OPTION 3 If module is still in Tach Watch Lockout move tach wire to a better tach source and perform an Automatic Tach Setting. Then repeat steps 1 to 5. 2 start attempts 3 start attempts 4 start attempts IDLE MODE FUNCTION 3 OPTION 1 OPTION 2* OPTION 3 FUNCTION 4 6-second crank time 8 second crank time 12-second crank time OPTION 1 gasoline engines & enable idle mode gasoline engines diesel engines & enable idle mode. OPTION 2* OPTION 3 When programmed this option allows the user to engage the remote starter to take over the vehicle while it is already running. This option will keep the vehicle running for the programmed run time or until shut down by remote control. To activate Idle Mode you must do the following: 1. Select Mode 2, Function 4, Option 1 for gasoline engines. 2. With vehicle running press either button on the transmitter until the parking lights come on. 3. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. 4. Vehicle will stay running for the entire programmed run time. VACUUM MODE The systems can operate in vacuum mode as Well as tach mode. Although Vacuum mode requires an optional normally closed vacuum switch. In order for the system to work in vacuum mode you must first set the tach signal to a setting of 8 flashes. (see manual tach adjustment) The vacuum switch has two contacts, one contact must connect to the tach input of the module, and the other contact must be connected to +12v. DIESEL ENGINES All systems are equipped with a dedicated “GLOW PLUG” input (pin #4). This input must be wired to the “Wait to Start” light in the vehicle and must receive 12 volts for as long as the light is on. When this input is used a protection diode must be installed on the brake input. Note: On some diesel vehicles the wait to start light is a negative when ON, for this type of system a relay must be used to convert the signal to a positive. TACH WATCH LOCKOUT Tach Watch lockout is a safety feature built into the remote starter to protect the vehicle’s starter motor. If, during remote start, the vehicle’s engine ever cranks the entire programmed crank time without detecting any tach pulses during the first crank cycle, the unit will go into tach watch lockout. The diagnostics for this is 3 quick parking light flashes when trying to remote start the vehicle. If your module is in Tach Watch Lockout it is indicating that a problem exists with the tach signal it is receiving. Verify that the tach wire from the remote starter is properly connected to a good tach signal in the vehicle. To remove the unit from Tach Watch Lockout you must do the following: RESETING THE MODULE The systems are equipped with a reset function that allows the installer to erase all transmitter codes and return all programmed options to factory default. To reset the module: 1. Turn the valet switch “off”. 2. Temporarily ground to pin # 12 (External Trigger). 3. Turn the Ignition “ON”. 4. Raise hood. 5. Press and hold brake pedal. 6. Turn valet switch “on” 7. Lights should flash 8 times quickly. 8. Press transmitter button within 5 seconds of parking light flashes to program transmitter. * See Custom Programming options for default settings. 1. 2. 3. 4. Close the hood Disable starter kill (if installed) Start the engine using the key. Let it run for at least 25 seconds, then shut it off. 5. The module should now be out of Tach Watch Lockout.
