I am trying to program the control module with the OP500 Option Programmer and it flashes “ER 01” when I
plug it in to the antenna cable. What should I do?
A: Make sure that the system is not locked/armed. The last thing to check is the antenna cable or antenna ex
-
tension cable – make sure this is not damaged. If you need to, try another cable. When the OP500 is working
properly, it will read “success good.” You no longer need to program the remotes before the OP500 will sync.
What is the green loop wire inside the brain module?
A: This wire determines the transmission mode. With the loop intact, the system is set for manual transmissions.
With the loop cut, the system is set for automatic transmission.
Where do the blue and purple wires off the extra relay go on the CM6000/CM6200?
A: This is a pre-wired positive output, negative trigger relay. Use the secondary ignition, starter, and accessory
outputs from CN3 to give a negative trigger to the purple wire. This will determine the12V positive (+) output
of the blue wire, which you can then connect to your secondary ignition, starter, or accessory wire.
I need a ground when armed wire, does the control module have one?
A: You can use the starter output on CN1 that goes to the starter kill relay. You must cut this wire and place a
diode in line so that when the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to ground, it won’t back feed to your
accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
Does the CM6 series have tachless mode?
A: Yes. The CM6000 and CM6200 all are tachless. Review the “Common Procedures” section of this manual.
On the brain, how do I set the auxiliaries?
A: You must have an Option Programmer (OP500) to set the auxiliaries on the CM4000, CM4200-DX,
CM4300, CM5000, CM5200, CM6000, and CM6200. First choose two POC wires on CN3 that you are not
using. With the OP500 go into the Special Option Group 2 and set those POC’s to Aux 1 and Aux 2. Review the
“Special Option Group” programming section of this manual.
All my connections are made and remotes programmed, how do I program the tach?
A: Review the “Common Procedures” section of this manual.
The vehicle remote starts when disarmed, but not when armed.
A: The starter kill relay was installed backwards. Check to make sure the yellow/black wire is going to the igni
-
tion side of the wire, and that the yellow wire is going to the engine side.
The vehicle starts and shuts down 3 times in a row.
A: This usually means that the engine sensing mode is not working correctly. If you are using a coil, change to
an injector or try alternator mode.
