IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.

Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.

■Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote

start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or

multiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic

probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making con-

nections.

■Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid

disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their

warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can

require a trip to the dealer.

■Check with the customer on status LED location.

■Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

■Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

■When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™(NPC™). NPC can

bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry

section.

■Review and complete the

Safety Check

section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.

■Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields.

■Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its

wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

■We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the

red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices.

After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your

wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

■When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will

reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a

grommet, never through bare metal!

■Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

■Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter and

ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

■When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-

nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and

any obvious leaks.

■Wire-tying to a wire harness.

If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape (such as

Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.

NNOOTTEE::In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result

in poor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located

and how to disarm the system with it.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot acci-

dentally hit it. The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole.

This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet® Mode without having to reach the

Valet®/Program switch. This feature was introduced so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As

long as the Valet®/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.

■It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear.

■It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 9/32-inch hole.

■Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers

remove the panel without cutting the wires.

If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,

they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,

routing the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

The relay satellite wiring carries large amounts of current. The wires should not be extended and should be cut

to the minimum length necessary. Since the relay satellite is functioning as the ignition switch in the vehicle,

it is often convenient to mount the relay satellite close to the main ignition switch harness.

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that

the security system will be connected to.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to find these

wires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to the

ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering other

circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, etc., fuse accordingly.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module

has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main

power feed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers

the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).

Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The

steering column harness or ignition switch harness is an excel-

lent place to find this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter

reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another

wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a

few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,

you have found an ignition wire.

The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling the starter. In some vehicles, it is

necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not

control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the

vehicle is cold.

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering

column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not

need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding

your optional starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car

is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not

turn over, you have the right wire.

An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V during

the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory

wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and

the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.

To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will

show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual

coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system

can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the

ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe (computer safe test light)!

This will damage the vehicle.

3. Start and run the vehicle.

4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.

5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.

In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash-

board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out

the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.

It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal

lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-

able in the kick panel or running board.

NNOOTTEE:: Many Toyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to

a relay. The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+)

parking light wire near the switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel which is

lit by the instrument panel lighting. Remember, you need a (+) parking light wire that does not

vary with the dimmer setting.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light

switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back

to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the

brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,

look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

■At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often,

the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

■At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it

will work in many Hondas, or any vehicle with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at

the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-

light itself is often the best solution.

HHooww ttoo ffiinndd aa ddoooorr ppiinn sswwiittcchh ttrriiggggeerr wwiirree wwiitthh yyoouurr mmuullttiimmeetteerr::

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. In most other cars, fasten the (+) probe

of your meter to (+)12V constant.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door

is opened, you have found a trigger wire.

NNOOTTEE::Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-

type pin switches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted.

These usually have a blue/white or white wire coming out of the door into the kick panel which

will provide a (-) trigger for all doors. Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) have

a yellow wire coming out of the door which provides a (+) door trigger.

Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red

12V constant input and the orange ground-when-armed output (for the optional starter kill relay) will often be

routed together to the ignition switch harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find, you

may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the manu-

facturer used.

There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder connections and crimp connectors. When

properly performed, either type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether you solder your

connections or you use mechanical-type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanically

sound and that they are insulated.

Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather.

Use good-quality electrical tape or heat shrink.

■Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.

■Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals.

If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in

higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and

should be avoided.

This input comes from the factory set to 2 activation pulses. This means that it is necessary to have 2 consecu-

tive ground pulses on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true

for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice

for the remote start to activate or deactivate.

NNOOTTEE::When the activation pulse count has been programmed to 1 or 2 pulses it will affect both

wire will also trigger the security system if the brake pedal is pressed while the system is armed and will report

Zone 1.

This input provides the module with information about the engine's revolutions per minute (RPMs). It can be

connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicles with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high energy igni-

tion systems locating a proper signal may be more difficult. (See

Finding the Wires You Need

section of this

guide.) Once connected, you must teach the system the tach signal. (See the

Internal Programming Jumpers

section of this guide.)

Connect this wire to the provided toggle (override) switch as shown in figure A. Connect the other wire from the

toggle switch to the PARK/NEUTRAL switch in the vehicle. This wire will test with ground with the gear selector

either in PARK or NEUTRAL. This will prevent the vehicle from accidentally being started while in a drive gear.

This input MUST rest at ground in order for the remote start system to operate. Connected properly the vehicle

will only start while in PARK or NEUTRAL.

In some vehicles, the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch activates a factory starter lock out that will not allow the

starter to operate in a drive gear. In these vehicles, connect this wire to the toggle switch as shown in figure B.

Connect the other wire from the toggle switch to chassis ground.

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that

physically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is inter-

faced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine the

column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In these vehicles,

it is impossible to interface the remote start system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,

if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is activated, the vehicle will move and may cause

damage to persons or property.

According to available information, the only vehicles currently manufactured this way are most General Motors

trucks, sport utility vehicles and column shifting passenger cars. Available information also indicates that pre-

1996 Dodge Dakota pickups with 2.5 liter motors are manufactured this way as well.

GM vehicles that have the neutral safety switch built into the column shifter can usually be identified by a purple

starter wire. Typically, vehicles that use an outboard mechanical switch use a yellow wire from the ignition switch

to the mechanical switch and a purple wire from the mechanical switch to the starter itself. Remember, this is

only a rule of thumb and is not intended as a substitute for proper testing.

We suggest the following procedure to test for vehicles manufactured in this way.

NNOOTTEE::You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the following test.

Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connecting to the

brake as a shut-down.

1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.

2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.

3. Set the emergency brake.

4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the shifter.

5. Place the car in drive (D).

6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the

starter engages.

7. Activate the remote start system.

does not engage, no additional safety system is required.

If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to the follow-

ing text and diagrams for an alternative shut-down method which will prevent the starter from engaging. If the

vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics Technical

Support for an alternative shut-down method. Do not return the vehicle to the customer until this feature is prop-

erly installed!

Every vehicle built in this fashion requires that the shifter be placed in park to remove the keys from the igni-

tion. As a result, it is possible to use the key-in-ignition sense switch to prevent remote starting if the keys are

in the ignition. The following diagrams illustrate how to accomplish this. The first diagram applies to all General

Motors vehicles at the present time. The second diagram applies to all pre-1996 Dodge Dakota pickup trucks with

2.5 liter motors. This solution has one side effect - if the customer inserts the key in the ignition with the driver's

door open, the remote start system will shut down. If this interface is used it is important to inform the cus-

tomer to close the driver’s door before inserting the key into the ignition when the remote start is active. This

will allow the customer to turn the key on and shut the remote start down by pressing the brake without the key

sense wire shutting down the unit prematurely.

In addition, you must connect a tan (+) shut-down input to the yellow wire on the relay satellite ribbon cable.

This prevents the remote start system from activating if the key is left in the "run" position. If your remote start

system only has one tan input, you must use diodes to isolate the ignition circuit from the brake switch input.

However, due to future manufacturer changes in vehicles, it is possible that this may not apply to all vehicles.

In addition, color variations are possible from model to model; make sure to test the circuit carefully. Please call

Directed Electronics Technical Support if you need assistance in making this interface.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! Once the interface is complete, attempt to remote start the vehicle with the door

closed and the key in the ignition. The vehicle should not start. If it does, recheck the connections.

Vehicles with the GM VATS (Pass Key) systems have a resistor embedded in the ignition key. If the VATS decoder

module does not measure the proper resistance when the vehicle is started, the starter and fuel pump may be

disabled for up to ten minutes. An optional "VATS pack" of resistors is available ((pp//nn 665522TT)). One of the resistors in

the pack will match the resistor in the key.

The VATS wires will be two very light-gauge wires coming out of the steering column. The colors of the wires vary,

but they are often contained in orange tubing - either both will be white wires, or one wire will be purple/white

and the other white/black. Determine the value of the resistor in the key. Then follow the diagram below to

bypass VATS during remote start operation. If the H3/1 BLUE status output has been programmed for factory

security re-arm, use the H3/2 BLUE/BLACK third ignition output to control the relay.

1995 and newer vehicle anti-theft systems (immobilizers) require a bypass module. The bypass module allows for

easy interfacing, while still maintaining the OEM system’s integrity.

The Passlock I and Passlock II systems can be found in the following General Motors vehicles:

■‘95 and newer Cavalier and Sunfire

■‘96 and newer Achieva, Grand Am, and Skylark

■‘97 and newer Intrigue, Malibu, and Cutlass

■‘98 and newer trucks, vans, SUVs

■‘99 and newer Alero

■2000 and newer Impala and Saturn

Passlock I and II systems are VATS-evolved. Passlock systems still rely on the R-code to start, but the pellet is

no longer placed in the key. The resistor can now be found in the key switch. This allows for a greater number

of possible R-codes. In addition, Passlock systems require “seeing” the correct R-code at the correct time. To

bypass Passlock I and II, pp//nn 555555LLis required.

The Passkey III system can be found in the following vehicles:

■‘97 and newer Park Avenue

■‘98 and newer Cadillac

■‘99 and newer U vans, Transport, Montana, and Silhouette

■2000 and newer Grand Prix, Lesabre, Monte Carlo, Lumina, Bonneville

■2001 and newer Aurora, Aztek and Rendezvous

Other transponder-based systems include: Acura, BMW, Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, Ford, Honda, Infinity, Mazda,

Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagon, and Volvo.

PK-3 and the transponder-based systems use a transponder system that locks out the ignition and fuel system.

This transponder system is comprised of two parts. The first part, the transceiver, circles the key switch and is

activated when the key is placed in the key switch or turned to the run position. Upon activation, the transceiver

will excite the transponder, which is located (but not visible) in the head of the ignition key. The key transpon-

der will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a valid code of the

system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be bypassed using pp//nn

555555UU (or 555566UU). Some may require additional parts from the vehicle manufacturer. Consult you dealer for the appli-

cations. For most Ford PATS transponders, pp//nn 555555FFcan be used, except for the following vehicles, which will

require pp//nn 555555UU: ‘97 and newer Mark VII, and 2000 and newer Taurus/Sable, Contour/Mystique and Focus.

In most cases, this jumper can be left in the OFF position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their

ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles. Changing the jumper to

the ON setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so it will work properly with these vehi-

cles. These vehicles include many newer Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouths, such as the Neon Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze and

LH-based cars.

This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and

the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The

The system comes with one transmitter that has been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to four

different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to

change button assignments if desired.

Using the optional Directed Electronics Bitwriter™, the learn routine may be locked. Make sure the learn routine is

unlocked before programming features. If the siren generates one long chirp when attempting to program the unit,

the learn routine is locked and must be unlocked using the Directed Electronics Bitwriter™ before proceeding.

The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of

the feature settings using the Valet/program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the

optional Bitwriter (pp//nn 999988TT). Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to one of up to four trans-

mitters. This feature is called Owner Recognition. Each time that particular transmitter is used to disarm the

system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only possible when programming the

unit via the hand-held programmer.

If programming with the Bitwriter (pp//nn 999988TT), the learn routine can be locked or unlocked. If the learn

routine has previously been locked, it must be unlocked before proceeding with reprogramming the learn

routine. This must be done by using pp//nn 999988TT- this cannot be done manually with the Valet switch. If the learn

when programming with the Bitwriter are indicated by the following icon:

11--11 AACCTTIIVVEE//PPAASSSSIIVVEE AARRMMIINNGG::When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is

used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert

the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the con-

sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm,

but the siren will not chirp.

11--22 CCHHIIRRPPSS OONN//OOFFFF:: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system.

11--33 IIGGNNIITTIIOONN CCOONNTTRROOLLLLEEDD DDOOOORR LLOOCCKKSS OONN//OOFFFF:: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the igni-

11--55 AACCTTIIVVEE//PPAASSSSIIVVEE LLOOCCKKIINNGG::If passive arming is selected in Feature 1-1, then the system can be programmed

to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the

transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking

means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.

NNOOTTEE::Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last

door is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the

door has been closed.

11--66 PPAANNIICC WWIITTHH IIGGNNIITTIIOONN OONN:: This feature controls whether or not the panic mode is available with the igni-

to indicate that AED is active and will interrupt the starter in 30 seconds. AED does not occur in Valet® mode

and can be bypassed using the emergency override procedure. The transmitter can be used to disarm AED,

however, the system must be armed and then disarmed, using the transmitter, to disarm AED.

11--1100 AARRMMEEDD WWHHIILLEE DDRRIIVVIINNGG ((AAWWDD)) OONN//OOFFFF::In the default setting (Armed While Driving), the system can be

armed with the ignition on. When armed, the ground-when-armed is not active and the sensors are bypassed.

The door triggers will remain active.

11--1111 CCOODDEE HHOOPPPPIINNGG™™ OONN//OOFFFF::The system uses a mathematical formula to change its code each time the trans-

mitter and receiver communicate. This makes the group of bits or "word" from the transmitter very long. The

longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling the Code Hopping™ feature

lets the receiver ignore the Code Hopping™ part of the transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better

range with Code Hopping™ off.

22--11 SSIIRREENN OOUUTTPPUUTT CCOONNSSTTAANNTT//PPUULLSSEEDD::The system can be programmed to output pulses instead of a continuous

output when the system is triggered. This is useful to honk the factory horn in applications where a siren is unde-

sirable. Remember that the unit is only capable of supplying 1 amp of current. A relay will be required to interface

with most factory horn systems.

22--22 SSIIRREENN DDUURRAATTIIOONN 3300//6600 SSEECCOONNDDSS::It is possible to program the unit to sound for 30 or 60 seconds

during the triggered sequence. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can sound.

When using the TechSoft Programmer or Bitwriter™, the siren can be programmed to sound for any length of time

from 1 second to 180 seconds. Use the right and left arrows or the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on your keyboard

to change the siren duration in 1 second intervals. Holding down the key will rapidly increase or decrease the setting.

The desired siren duration can also be directly entered by using the number keys on your computer's keyboard.

22--33 NNUUIISSAANNCCEE PPRREEVVEENNTTIIOONN CCIIRRCCUUIITTRRYY™™ ((NNPPCC™™)) OONN//OOFFFF::NPC™ stops repeated triggering of the same zone. If

one zone is triggered three times in one hour, that zone is bypassed for one hour, starting from the time of the

third trigger. During that hour, if the system sees a trigger on that zone again, the system resets the one hour

timer. If one hour passes and the zone has not triggered again, the zone is activated and can trigger the system

again. NPC™ only monitors sensor inputs, and does not bypass the door trigger or the ignition trigger at any

time. If NPC™ is turned off, the system will respond to repeated triggers on the sensor inputs and will do so

mmeennuu ##22 -- aaddvvaanncceedd ffeeaattuurreess

indefinitely. Some states have laws regulating how many times a security system can trigger before it is consid-

ered a nuisance and the vehicle is towed away.

22--44 PPRROOGGRREESSSSIIVVEE DDOOOORR TTRRIIGGGGEERR OONN//OOFFFF::The system responds to a door trigger input with a progressive

response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will chirp 10 times prior to the full trig-

gered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent

full triggered sequence from occurring. If the progressive door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output

will occur the moment the door is opened.

22--55 VVAALLEETT PPUULLSSEE CCOOUUNNTT 11 TTOO 55 PPUULLSSEESS::The system can be programmed to count the number of presses of the

valet switch before disarming the security system. The factory default setting is one pulse. The unit can also be

set for two to five pulses.

Ghost Switch option: For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin Valet®/Program plug can be connected

to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary pulse.

22--66 DDOOOORR SSEENNSSOORR BBYYPPAASSSS CCHHIIRRPP OONN//OOFFFF::This feature controls the error chirp that is generated if the system is

armed with the door trigger active. This is useful in vehicles that have a long dome light delay after the door

has been closed. If the system is armed before the dome light has turned off, the security system will generate

the door trigger error chirp. If this error chirp is not desired, use this feature to disable the door open error chirp.

If the bypass chirp is turned off, no bypass chirp will be generated, even if a door is accidentally left open.

22--77 IIGGNNIITTIIOONN CCOONNTTRROOLLLLEEDD DDOOMMEE LLIIGGHHTT SSUUPPEERRVVIISSIIOONN OONN//OOFFFF::If turned on, the system will turn on the dome

light for 60 seconds when the ignition is turned off. The optional dome light supervision feature must be installed

as described in the Wire Connection Guide.

22--88 DDOOUUBBLLEE PPUULLSSEE UUNNLLOOCCKK OONN//OOFFFF::Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When

the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE H4/C wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a

single pulse. At the same time, the GREEN H4/A wire will supply two positive pulses instead of a single pulse.

This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.

22--99 FFAACCTTOORRYY AALLAARRMM DDIISSAARRMM WWIITTHH CCHHAANNNNEELL 22::In the default setting the factory alarm disarm output will disarm

the factory alarm system any time the button(s) controlling Channel Two is pressed.

configuration, use the two-chirp setting to toggle through the different configurations.

33--11 EENNGGIINNEE CCHHEECCKKIINNGG OONN//OOFFFF::In the default setting the remote start will monitor either the vehicle's tach wire

or voltage depending on the programming of feature 3-2. If programmed OFF the vehicle will crank for the pro-

grammed crank time (feature 3-5) and will not verify with tach or voltage that the car is running. In the OFF

setting, if the vehicle fails to start, the ignition can stay on for the entire run duration. Using tach or voltage

check is always recommended if possible.

33--22 CCHHEECCKKIINNGG TTYYPPEE TTAACCHH//VVOOLLTTAAGGEE::Selects the method of engine monitoring. If set to TACHOMETER the unit will

reference the learned tach signal to disengage the starter. In addition it will monitor the RPM and shut down if

the engine RPM is too high or too low. When set to VOLTAGE, the unit will crank the starter for the programmed

time and then attempt to sense that the engine is running by detecting an increase in voltage. The threshold

for the voltage check is selectable in feature 3-6.

33--33 RRUUNN TTIIMMEE 1122,, 2244,, 6600 MMIINNUUTTEESS::Selects the time in minutes that the system will operate the engine until

the system "times out". This is the maximum operation period and the system may be shut down using a

33--44 PPAARRKKIINNGG LLIIGGHHTTSS FFLLAASSHHIINNGG//CCOONNSSTTAANNTT:: In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle's parking lights (if

connected) while remote started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solid for the entire run duration.

ing or voltage sense, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6 second.

If a different crank time is desired, select feature 3-5 and select either 0.6 second by using the one-chirp setting

or toggle through the higher settings by using the two-chirp settings.

33--66 VVOOLLTTAAGGEE CCHHEECCKK HHII//LLOOWW::This feature only functions when programmed for voltage sense. Some vehicles have

many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the variation of voltage between

the engine off and the car running is very small and the remote start unit may "think" the vehicle has not started.

This can cause the remote start to shut-down after the car has been started. If this happens program this feature

to the LOW position.

33--77 SSHHOORRTT RRUUNN//TTUURRBBOO:: When the and buttons on the transmitter are pressed simultaneously, the

nnuuiissaannccee pprreevveennttiioonn cciirrccuuiittrryy™™

NPC™ requires that you change the way you test the system as NPC™ will bypass an input zone for 60 minutes.

If the system “sees” the same zone trigger three times AND the triggers are spaced less than an hour apart, the

system will bypass that input zone for 60 minutes. If that zone does not attempt to trigger the system during

the 60-minute bypass period, the zone’s monitoring will begin again at the end of the hour. If it does attempt

to trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass starts over again.

Disarming and rearming the system does not reset NPC™. The only way to reset NPC™ is for the 60 minutes to

pass, without a trigger, or for the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be repeatedly triggered,

disarmed and rearmed, and still allow NPC™ to bypass a faulty zone.

When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate NPC is activated. The LED will report the zone that has been

bypassed. (See

Diagnostics

section of this guide.)

Before vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The fol-

lowing test procedure must be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. The installation

must be completed before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), activate the remote start system. Once the

engine is running, press the brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues

to run, check the brake circuit connection.

2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in Park (P), open the hood. Activate the remote start

system. The vehicle should not start. If the starter engages, check your hood pin and connections.

NNOOTTEE::If programmed for Diesel Mode, the system will turn on the ignition, but the starter should

not engage with the hood open.

3. Test the NEUTRAL SAFETY shutdown circuit:

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle before

attempting this test.

a. Make sure the hood is closed and no other shutdown circuits are active.

b. Set the emergency brake.

c. Turn the ignition key to the run position but do not start the engine.

d. Put the vehicle in Drive (D).

e. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut-

down the remote start system.

f. Activate the remote start system.

■If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down the system. If it does engage,

recheck the neutral safety input connection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch.

(See H2/6 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in

Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide

section of this guide.)

■If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.

Once the system passes the three tests, the vehicle can be re-assembled and delivered. Do not the use the remote

start system or finalize the installation if it fails any of the safety check tests.

2. Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter to check for voltage between the red wire in the 5-pin ribbon harness

and the black ground wire. If you have less than battery voltage, check the 3A and both 30A fuses on the

relay satellite. Also make sure that the ground wire connects to a good chassis ground point.

3. Check diagnostics. The diagnostics will tell you which shutdown is active or not connected.

2. Check the 30A fuses.

3. Check diagnostics. If the gray/black wire is detecting ground upon activation, the starter will not crank.

4. Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the optional starter kill/anti-grind relay.

5. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.

6. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the relay satellite should have solid connections.

"T-taps" or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle

has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each.

■TThhee vveehhiiccllee ssttaarrttss,, bbuutt iimmmmeeddiiaatteellyy ddiieess..

1. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unau-

2. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the start time may not be set high enough, or you

may have to adjust the voltage threshold in programming. Voltage sense will not work on some vehicles.

2. Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to indicate a successful learn.

3. Make sure that there is a tach signal at the purple/white tach input wire of the remote start. If there is not

a tach signal, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or

shorted to ground leading to the remote start.
