Feature #6 - engine Detection method
Tachless hi (press “ lock ” button to program) - DeFaulT
Tachless lo (press “ unlock ” button to program)
Tach Wire (press “ trunk ” button to program)
Data Tach (press “ start ” button to program)
Crank Only (press “ lock ” & “ unlock ” to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s running condition
in remote start mode
“Tachless hi” sensitivity mode uses a preset crank time (see installer feature #7) and monitors
the vehicle’s voltage level to determine if the engine is running. This setting looks for a voltage
increase of 0.3v after cranking.
“Tachless lo” sensitivity mode operates like the “Tachless Hi” setting but looks for a voltage
increase of 0.5v after cranking.
“Tach Wire” Before this setting is programmed, refer to the “Violet/White wire” section of the
installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Procedure. It will crank the
engine for up to 3 seconds or until a tach signal is detected.
“Data Tach” mode operates just like the “Tach Wire” setting except it takes its reading from the
D2D data port instead of using the Violet/White wire. Before using, make sure this function is sup -
ported by the Databus Interface module.
“Crank Only” AKA “blind start” is similar to the “Tachless” settings however, it only makes one
start attempt and does not monitor engine running conditions. This is useful for many “push-to-
start” vehicles
Feature #5 - manual Transmission mode
Off
(press “
unlock
” button to program)
- DeFaulT
On (press “ lock ” button to program)
This feature changes the parameters of the system’s remote start operation to be suitable for
manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure which must be followed upon exit -
ing the vehicle to ensure the transmission is in neutral
Feature #4 - Turbo Timer
Off (press “ lock ” button to program) - DeFaulT
Run 1 minute (press “ unlock ” button to program)
Run 2 minutes (press “ trunk ” button to program)
Run 3 minutes (press “ start ” button to program)
This feature, the operation of which is described on page 9, when turned on
configures the system to automatically keep the engine running briefly after it is turned off. This
operation is designed specifically for vehicles having turbocharged engines (the user may tempo -
rarily bypass the feature if desired). This feature should only be programmed by the installer ,
and the operation of this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the
vehicle’s parking brake
Feature #3 - horn Relay Functions
horn Output (press “ lock ” button to program) - DeFaulT
Door unlock
(press “
unlock
” button to program)
Trunk Release (press “ trunk ” button to program)
Pulse after Start
(press “
start
” button to program)
The primary function of this second relay, is to operate the vehicle’s existing horn; either in
conjunction with the electronic siren, or in place of the siren. Using both the siren and the horn
creates an extremely effective security system. Optionally, if desired or needed, this relay can be
programmed as a door unlock, trunk release, or pulse after start relay.
