Engine Checking Mode:

The engine checking mode on all CARBINE remote start systems is set at 
“Wireless Tach” by default. Once all the wiring is complete and correct, the 
engine can be remote started without any other changes. 
Engine type, Extreme weather etc. may require a more defined type of  
engine checking for reliable operation. Use the information enclosed to 
setup alternate engine checking modes. 

Wireless Tach Learning

1. After the installation is completed, use the CARBINE key fob and  

initiate the remote start sequence. 

2. If the engine does not start on the first attempt, let the CARBINE  

module cycle and attempt to start the engine again. Up to (3) cranking 
attempts may be needed to start and run the engine. 

3. When the engine starts and runs, let it run for at least 30 seconds. 
4. Use the CARBINE key fob to shut down the engine.  

Wireless Tach is programmed.

Hardwire Tach or Data Tach

-  Hardwire Tach requires the Lt.Violet/White wire to be connected to  

a fuel injector wire or a coil wire. 

-  Check the data bypass module spec to make sure it will provide a data 

tach signal. Additional pre-programming of the data module may be 
required. Refer to the data module instructions. 

To learn the tach signal

1. Start the vehicle with the key.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the valet button on the RCC.
3. Once the tach signal is learned, the blue LED on the RCC will  

light or flash.

- When tach learning from a hardwire connection, the parking  

lights will flash one time

- When tach learning via the data module, the parking lights will  

flash two times. 

Note:

 Depending on the data bypass module used, you may have to put 

the bypass module into tach learning mode first before performing the 
above procedure. Review the instructions of the data bypass module 
before proceeding. 

Pairing a Remote Controller:

The CARBINE remote controllers provided with this kit have already been 
paired to the control module. In the event that the pairing is lost or an 
additional remote needs to be paired, follow the enclosed procedure. 
1. Open the drivers door.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the RCC button. 
4. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the RCC button. The LED will flash, and 

the horn/siren will chirp one time. You are now in remote pairing mode. 
Release the RCC button.

- If programming a 4-button remote 

Press and hold the   button, then press and release the 

 button  

five times. The LED on the CARBINE remote will steady flash.  
The remote will stay in this state for 60 seconds. 

- If programming a 2-button remote 

Press and hold the   button, then press and release the   button five 

times. The LED on the CARBINE remote will steady flash.  
The remote will stay in this state for 60 seconds.  

5. Press and release the LOCK button on the CARBINE remote.  

The horn/siren will chirp one time to conform the code is learned. 

6. Turn OFF the ignition key. The horn/siren will long chirp to confirm  

exit of remote pairing mode. 

Remote Start Shutdown Diagnostics

If the remote starter activates but the engine fails to remain running, a 

diagnostic procedure can be run to try and determine where the fault  
in the system is. 

To Perform Shutdown Diagnostics

1. With the ignition key 

Off

, press and hold the RCC button. 

2. While holding the RCC button, turn the ignition key 

On

 then 

Off

3. Release the RCC button. 
4. Press and release the RCC button one time. 

The RCC LED will report the last shutdown reason for 1 minute or  

until the ignition key is turned 

On

 again. Compare the LED flashes  

to the chart below.
