STEP 1:
Connect all necessary wires.
STEP 2:
Process complete
– there is no further programming required other than adjusting crank time
when necessary (see below).
Adjusting Crank Time:
To adjust the crank times, refer to Options 1-03 and 2-05. To help ensure
successful starting, the system will automatically add additional crank time to the 2nd and 3rd start
attempts. In addition, there is a
built in “Smart Resting Mode”. Traditional tach sensing is highly
recommended for colder climates.
Tach Sensing
– Option 2-04 Setting 2
Tach sensing mode requires a connection made with the yellow/black wire on Connector 2. Firstech
recommends using an injector, coil or other tach source for tachometer sense.
IMPORTANT:
The tach
must be programmed before remote starting.
STEP 1:
Start the vehicle with the key. Allow time for the engine to idle down.
STEP 2:
Test wire and make connection. With the vehicle off the wire should test 0 Volts AC. At idle the
tach wire should test between 1 to 5 Volts AC. As the vehicle RPM’s increase the voltage on the meter
will also increase. Always solder tach connections.
STEP 3:
Learn tach. While the vehicle is at idle, hold the foot brake and press and hold the remote start
button on the remote control for 2.5 seconds.
The parking lights will flash once to confirm a good tach signal. The parking lights will flash three times to
indicate the tach did not learn. Two seconds following the three flashes, the number of parking light
flashes will indicate the cause of the error;
Advanced Tachless
– Option 2-04 Setting 3
Advanced Tachless is an alternative method the Firstech remote start system can utilize to determine if
the engine is running. This is different than no tach sensing so the yellow/black wire connection must be
made.
IMPORTANT:
No programming other than option changing is required for Advanced Tachless.
STEP 1:
Change
Option 2-04 to setting 3 - Advanced Tachless
.
STEP 2:
Test wire and make connection. The stator wire is found at the vehicles’ alternator. Change
your meter to DC before testing for this wire.
A.
At rest, with the ignition off, the stator wire should test 0V DC.
B.
Turn the ignition to the run position. The stator wire should now test between 1
– 6V DC.
C.
Start the vehicle with the key. The stator wire should now test between 12
– 14V DC at idle.
STEP 3:
Process complete
– no further programming is required.
Assumed Timed Crank
– Option 2-04 Setting 4
Assumed Time Crank is the last feature of Option 2-04 for remote starting. This is intended for vehicles
