5.  Use channel one button on the transmitter to advance to the feature that you want to change.  EXAMPLE

If you need to change programmable feature number 3, press and release button 1 on the transmitter
3 times in succession.  The parking lights will flash 3 times confirming  that selected  feature 3 can now
be programmed.

6.  Use channel 3 button on the transmitter to change the selection of the programmable feature.  If you are

not sure what the setting for any feature is, press channel 3 button one time, the parking lights will flash
one, two, three or four times indicating  the features setting.

Note:  

Once you enter the feature programming mode, do not allow more that 15 seconds to pass between

steps, or the programming will be terminated.

2. Programming Tach Rate:

NOTE:  All applications require that tach be programmed.

The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed.  If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote
start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been
learned and stored.  If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit may not
realize that the vehicle is running in certain instances re-engage the starter motor.
The Remote Car Starter will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single ignition coils, multiple coil packs,
and or single injector.  To learn tach;
1.  Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2.  Press and release the program switch 3 times.
3.  Immediately turn the ignition key OFF.
4.  Press and hold the program switch, then start the vehicle 

using the ignition key

.

5.  When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6.  Release the program switch.  The parking lights will turn on for 3 seconds to indicate that the tach signal

is stored and the unit is now out of the program mode.

3. Diagnostics:

1.  Be sure that programmable feature number #7 is set to the "Diagnostics On" mode.
2.  Hold the program switch on, then turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3.  The lights will flash, and number of flashes will indicate the reason for shutdown on the last remote start

attempt.  The indications are as follows.

1 Flash

Run Timer Expired

2 Flashes Low, or No Tach Signal
3 Flashes Positive Or Negative Shutdown
4 Flashes Control Switch Moved To Off
5 Flashes RF Shut Down, Remote Signal Received, or Manual Start Input Wire Reactivated.
6 Flashes High RPM Signal Received
7 Flashes Tach Has Not Been Programmed
