The Comfort Start includes with two pre-programmed transmitters, and up to four
transmitters total may be programmed to operate it.  Transmitters, other than the
originals, must be programmed to operate the Comfort Start. When an additional
or replacement transmitter is added to operate the unit, all of the transmitters must
be programmed as any existing transmitter code is erased from the system.

1) Turn the ignition switch “On” (and leave it “on”).
2) Within 7 seconds press the Valet Switch 5 times.  The parking lights and Status

Light will illuminate, and the horn chirps once to indicate that the unit is ready to
receive the first transmitter code.

3) Press the transmitter’s upper “START” button.  The system will acknowledge

the transmission by momentarily turning off the Status Light.

4) Repeat the previous step for each remaining transmitter.

The system will automatically exit the transmitter programming mode by turning
the ignition key “off”, or 15 seconds after the last transmission.

 Programming  Transmitters

Any time that transmitters are programmed to operate the Comfort Start, for 48
hours afterward every time that the ignition key is turned “on” the horn will briefly
chirp and the status Light will flash the number of operating transmitters. This is
“Unauthorized Transmitter Alert”, protecting against unauthorized transmitters.

20-Gauge Yellow/Red  Wire:

“Wait To Start” light in the vehicle has a Negative switching circuit, change the position of
the White “Glow Plug +/- Select” Jumper on the control module to reverse the Green/Red
wire’s polarity operation.

This output may be used to arm a factory-

installed alarm, or, if the vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory Power circuit,
this output can be used to “spike” the door pin switch wire, which will turn off the Re-
tained Accessory Power circuit.

To arm a factory alarm after remote start engine run stops, connect the Yellow/Red

wire to the vehicle's factory arm wire.  This wire will show Negative polarity when a key is
held in the "lock" position in the door key cylinder.  This wire can usually be located in
either kick panel, in the wiring harness from the door, as it is routed between the door
key cylinder and the factory alarm.

20-Gauge Yellow/Green  Wire:    

        ( - ) OEM Disarm Output

Connection If Needed.

If needed, the Yellow/Green wire allows the

Comfort Start to disarm a factory alarm system.  Connect the Yellow/Green wire to the
wire in the vehicle which is connected to one of the doorlock key cylinders.  The typical
OEM alarm has an electrical switch in the key cylinders which switches -Ground when
the key unlocks the door.  This wire can usually be located in the vehicle in either kick
panel area, in the wiring harness which is routed into the cab from the door.  The Yellow/
Green wire has a -Ground pulse whenever the Comfort Start unit has an unlock output or
its remote start operation is activated.
