Programming Tach Rate
The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to start
the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating
tach has not been learned and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit
may not realize that the vehicle is running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.
The Remote Start Unit will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil packs, or single
injector. To learn tach.
1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
2. Press and release the valet/override button 3 times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.
4. Press and hold the valet/override button, then start the vehicle using the key.
5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6. Allow the vehicle to settle to a norman idle speed.
7. Release the valet/program push-button switch. The parking lights will stay ON Solid indicating that the
learned tach signal is stored and the unit has exited tach learn mode.
NOTE:
If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source, the
parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the VIOLET/WHITE wire to the
proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.
