Key-In Sensor Circuits:

If the vehicle you ar working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two
alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle key-in sensor may be reconfigured to allow a
margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear.
We advise that you maintain the factory circuit whenever possible. The following two circuits may be used
only if the above circuit is not available.
Note: When completing an installation using either of the following key-in sensor circuits, if the operator
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle will
shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of the vehicle
utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operators manual.
Method 1: Will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting
while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however If the key is
left in the Ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA
drain on the battery.
Method 2: Will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicles from starting
while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original
factory key-in effect other warming tones such as the light on reminder. These situations should be
carefully considered before altering the vehicle;s wiring and must be fully explained to the consumer.
