3) DBI TACH SETTING
Selecting this setting in the option menu indicates that you have a DBI module and have determined that a
tach signal is available for the vehicle you are connecting to. The unit will look at the DBI data port for the
tach signal. If the vehicle fails to start, or the unit flashes 7 times, recheck the DBI manual to insure that
tach is available for your vehicle. If not the tach connection wire, Green/Orange must be used.
4) HYBRID SETTING:
Selecting this setting in the option menu allows for Hybrid vehicles. Also feature #14 of Bank 3 must be set
for preset time or the Hybrid feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.
CRANK AVERAGING:
When Feature 14 Bank 3 is set for crank averaging, the remote start unit constantly monitors and learns the
cranking patterns of the vehicle each time the car is started with the key. The vehicle must be started
atleast 4 times with the key for the crank averaging circuit to begin it's monitoring the vehicle's engine.
DIAGNOSTICS:
Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 9 as described on the front pages of this manual.
NOTE:
Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit will
pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed three
times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
The parking lights will flash a number of times indicating the reason for the last remote start shutdown. The
light flash indications are as follows:
1 Flash
Run timer expired
2 Flashes
Low or no tach signal (RPM)
3 Flashes
Positive inhibit wire activation
4 Flashes
NA
5 Flashes
RF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.
6 Flashes
High tach signal (RPM)
7 Flashes
Tach signal has not been learned
8 Flashes
Negative inhibit wire
Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)
The multi coil pack adapter, is designed for use with vehicles that do not respond to single coil tach
programming. Although the tach resolution of this circuit is designed to interface direct with most vehicles,
there may be an occasion where the following circuit may be required. Construct the adaptor as shown
below.
To use the adaptor, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate
coils. To achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished
by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around
any of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the
respective cylinder number which appears in any of the circles.
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil
pack. For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in
the on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.
4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.
