Installation Guide
•
Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
•
Never ground the module to the vehicle’s steering column.
•
Make sure that all the switches and controls operate properly.
•
Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly.
•
Make sure that all safety equipment is installed: the Valet switch, Hood Pin switch and
warning label(s).
•
Always make sure that all external relays and after-market products wired to the module
are properly fused and diode isolated.
•
On vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, the installer may be unable to see
certain programming results since the daytime running lights never go out. (
Note :
Listening carefully to the clicking of the relays within the module will indicate a selected
option. A test light on the positive park light output may also be used for a visual
indiciation)
•
When wiring in parallel, make sure each connection is isolated with a diode in order to
avoid feedback and possible damage to the vehicle.
Examples :
1-
Wiring both a clutch bypass and a transponder bypass module to the GROUND
OUT WHEN RUNNING wire:
At the common connection point, where the GROUND
OUT WHEN RUNNING wire “splits” and connects to both devices, a diode should be
inserted on both wires to prevent feedback.
2-
Multiple or separate door pin connections:
When joining all Door Pins together to the
single input wire of the module, each of the door wires must be diode isolated to
prevent feedback.
•
Note:
The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are
use to isolate connections. Please note that there are numerous other
cases where diode isolation may be required.
HARNESS DESCRIPTIONS
When first connecting the system it is important to connect the primary 8 pin harness
(containing the ground wire) first, otherwise the internal components of the module could
be seriously damaged.
Be careful not to power up a module before it is properly grounded (Pin 4 of the 18 pins
connector). To avoid accidental damage, it is recommended to remove the fuses before the
installation, and to replace them once the installation is complete.
6 PIN IGNITION HARNESS
The two power wires are module inputs, while the remaining wires are outputs that
reproduce the electronic actions of the vehicle's ignition switch when Remote-Started.
These wires are usually connected at the ignition switch.
Do not modify the integrity of the vehicle by jumping any wires, this will compromise the
OEM electrical system.
