Black 9-Pin Mini Connector

White/Blue Wire: (-) Instant Start & Turn Off Input
This wire activates and turns off the remote starter each time it sees a momentary ground signal. This is nor-
mally used for testing during installation or when activating the module from another electronic source. This
wire is also programmable (See Alarm Feature Programming Part 3).
White/Red Wire: (-) Tachometer Signal Connection
This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM).
It can be connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high
energy ignition systems, locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once connected, you must program
the Start Feature 2-2 to “Tachometer checking type and teach the system the RPM signal. (See Start Feature
2-3/4 Programming).
To test for a tachometer wire, a multi-meter capable of AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will show
between 1V and 6V AC at idle, and will increase as engine RPM increases. In multi-coil ignition system, the
system can have individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower
amounts of AC voltage. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the
gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.
Important! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. Electronic
components of the ignition system will be damaged.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multi-meter:
1. Set the ACV or AC voltage *(12 or 20V).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.
Note: No connection of this wire is required if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.
White 4-Pin Mini Connector
Optional 2 Stage Sensor:
Allows easy connection with quick disconnect ability for other optional devices.
1. Red: +12 Volt Constant Input.
2. Black: Main Sensor Ground.
3. Green: Warn Away (-) Input.
4. Blue: Instant Trigger (-) Input.
White 10-Pin Mini Connector
Yellow Wire:
(-) 200mA Ignition 3 Output
This wire provides a 200mA (-) ground output that becomes active in 4 seconds before the
remote start unit initializes and remains grounded while running. It may also be used for an
immobilizer bypass module.
