TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION
MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:
Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they
do not offer the same level of safety when installing a remote start device.
Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in any
position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow
the key to be turned to the start position or be removed from the ignition
cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the vehicle
is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of
this potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection
of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle PARK/NEUTRAL
ECM input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote
start operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear
selector position.
Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral
Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the
correct installation method. The connection of the safety wire is required
for all mechanical switch configurations. Failure to make this connection
properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installations
it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start
unit and assure that the vehicle can not start via RF control in any gear
selection other than park or neutral. In both mechanical and electrical
neutral start switch configurations.
PARK/NEUTRAL ECM INPUT:
The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not
only maintains the integrity of the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to
install, provided the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.
The installation required for this application (shown below), is a slight
reconfiguration of the control switch wiring. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral
ECM input circuit. To connect the Remote Start unit to the GM Park/Neutral
ECM input:
1. Locate the Orange/Black reference wire in the “C2” connector found
at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference
wire in the vehicle you are installing the Remote Start Unit in.
2. Connect the THIN BLACK (H4/2) Neutral Safety Switch wire to this
reference wire. NOTE: If the optional remote starts enable toggle switch
is installed, connect the one side the enable switch to this reference wire
and connect the other side of the enable switch to the THIN BLACK
(H4/2) Neutral Safety Switch wire of the Remote Start unit.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
H1/2, H1/3 - Red wires – +12V Power Input –
Remove the (2) 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not
replace them until the satellite has been plugged into the control module.
These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satellite
will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since
the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate
the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition
switch, connect one RED wire of the satellite to each feed at the switch.
H1/4 - Yellow wire – Ignition Output –
Connect the YELLOW wire to the ignition wire from the ignition switch.
The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in
the " ON" or “RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the
ignition is turned "OFF" , the ignition wire will not show +12 volts. The
YELLOW wire must be connected.
H1/5 - Pink wire – Ignition 2 Output
Some vehicles have (2) ignition wires that must be connected. Connect
the PINK wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. The ignition
wire will show "12 volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or “RUN”
and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is turned "OFF" ,
the ignition wire will not show +12 volts. If the PINK wire is not used,
cap the end of the wire.
H1/6 - Brown wire – Accessory Output (Heater /ACC Output) –
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers
the climate control system.
An accessory wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ACCESSORY” or “ON” and “RUN” positions, and will show 0
Volts when the key is turned to the “OFF” and “START” or “CRANK”
position. 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 vehicle 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.
