About Tach Programming 

If you press the 

START

 button before carrying out a Tach Programming procedure, the 

Remote Car Starter will make no attempt to start the Engine and the Parking Lights will give 
5 flashes.  
If order to carry out Tach Programming, you may simply follow the Automatic Tach 
Programming procedure.  
The Remote Car Starter stores Tach settings regardless of the procedure used at the time 
of Tach programming. All Tach settings are cleared when the Remote Car Starter is reset. A 
new Tach Programming procedure has to be carried out 

only

 if the Remote Car Starter is 

reset.

Multi-speed Tach Programming 

Tach signals may vary from vehicle to vehicle. The Remote Car Starter is designed to read 
a wide range of Tach signals produced by recent Ignition systems. There is no necessary 
manual adjustment. Nevertheless, a Tach-programming procedure 

must 

be carried out 

every time a new Remote Car Starter Unit is installed

. This is because the Tach signals 

of certain Ignition systems are sometimes too low or too high for the Remote Car Starter, 
causing failed start-ups at various temperatures. 

1.

Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)

– The Parking Lights will stay 

ON

 for up to 20 seconds.  

– Before the lights go out:

2. Press and hold the 

Brake Pedal

,

  

– And simultaneously press the 

LOCK

 and 

UNLOCK

 buttons on the Transmitter: 

 

– The Parking Lights will flash 4 times. 

 

– Release the Brake Pedal. 

3.

Start up the Engine 

and allow the vehicle to reach regular Engine idle speed. 

4. Once the Engine is running idle, press the 

Brake Pedal 

and keep it down until you 

hear the Parking Lights Output flash 5 times. 

 

– Release the Brake Pedal: Tach Programming is now complete. 

Table 5: Multi-speed Tach Programming 

Note

The L.E.D. follows the Parking Lights during the 
Transmitter Programming procedure. 
At any time, close the Hood to end the Tach-
programming procedure. 

Automatic Tach Programming 

This simple procedure can replace the Multi-speed Tach Programming procedure: 

1. Make sure that all the connections are properly made and that the Remote Car 

Starter is powered up. 

2. With the Hood up (ground on the Hood Pin switch line), start the vehicle using the 

Key.

3. Allow the vehicle to reach regular Engine idle speed.
