Remote Start: Testing Your Installation
Caution!
The follow procedure must be performed after the installation of the Remote Start Device. It is the respon-
sibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner may result
in personal injury, property damage, or both.
1. Test the “Brake” Shutdown Circuit: With the vehicle in part (P), start the vehicle using the remote trans-
mitter, Once the engine is running, press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the
vehicle continues to run, check the brake circuit “White/Violet” wire.
2. Test the “Hood Pin” Shutdown Circuit: Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter, Once the engine is
running, pull the hood release and raise the hood. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the vehicle
continues to run, check the hood pin “White/Black” wire connection.
3. Neutral Start Safety Test:
A. Set the vehicle parking brake.
B. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
C. Sitting in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch “On” or “Run” position. But do not start the engine.
D. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into “Drive” (D).
E. Put you foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut down
the Remote Start Device.
F. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter.
a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
b. If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system, recheck your
“Violet” wire (6-Pin White, Starter Output) connection. The heavy gauge “Violet” wire must be con-
nected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does
not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts
Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety
Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of
safety switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.
Turbo Timer Mode
(Also See Users Manual)
Turbo Timer Mode keeps the engine running after arriving at you destination for a programmable
time period of 1, 3 or 5 minutes. This allows the system’s time to conveniently cool down the turbo
after you have left the vehicle.
To Activate:
1. While the engine is running, set the emergency brake and place the transmission to "Park".
2. Before turning off the engine, press and release and buttons at the same time. The light
will flash to indicate the remote start has entered turbo charge mode.
3. Remove the “Ignition Key” from the key cylinder. The engine will keep running.
4. Exit and secure the vehicle. The Engine continues running until the pre-programmed time
elapsed.
