Before You Get
Started…
Ƈ
On vehicles with a manual Transmission,
always
ensure that all Doors will get the Unit out
of Ready Mode. Switch the wire used so that it
is triggered by all Doors.
Ƈ
Make sure that the Parking Brake and Door
Switch contacts work properly.
Ƈ
When working on a vehicle, always leave a
window open.
Ƈ
Never
leave the keys in the car. Leave them
on a workbench with a window rolled down.
Ƈ
Remove courtesy light fuse, if possible, to
prevent battery drain.
Ƈ
The Programming Assistance Button
(A.k.a. PAB.)
The PAB is mounted on the side of the Unit.
This push button mimics the Hood-Pin switch in
order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle
and pressing the Hood-Pin switch.
The PAB will
work
only when the Hood is up.
Ƈ
Inspect vehicle for any body damage or
electrical problems
Ƈ
Always solder and tape all connections.
Ƈ
Keep the Transceiver away from other types
of antennas (GPS/Onstar).
Ƈ
Never install the control unit where it could
interfere with normal operation or obstruct
service technicians.
Ƈ
Always use a grommet when running wires
into the Engine compartment. Never run wires
through bare or sharp metal.
Ƈ
Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles
equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
Ƈ
Never ground the control unit to the vehicle’s
steering column.
Ƈ
Make sure that all the switches and controls
operate properly.
Ƈ
Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly.
Ƈ
Make sure that all safety equipment is installed:
the Valet Button, the Hood Switch and the
warning label
Ƈ
When wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate
each connection with a diode in order to avoid
feedback and possible damage.
Examples:
Wiring a clutch bypass and a Transponder
Module to the Ground Out when Running
wire:
At the junction point, where Ground Out
when running “splits” and goes to each device,
a diode is inserted on each of those lines.
Multiple or Separate Door pin Connections:
When joining all door pins together to the Door
pin input wire of the Module, each wire must
be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback.
N.B.:
The above examples reflect common
situations where diodes are use to isolate.
Please note that there are numerous other
scenarios where diode isolation is required.
Ƈ
Always make sure that any external relays
or modules added to the Remote Starter
Module are properly fused, and diode isolated.
Ƈ
When testing the Shock Sensor, never test
on glass with an opened hand, and never hit
glass hard enough as to break it. When
testing on Metal or plastic, make sure the
testing does not result in damage to the
vehicle (i.e.: dents, broken glass, damaged
trims, etc.).
Ƈ
Vehicles equipped with daytime running
lights may not allow the installer to view
certain programming results since the daytime
running lights do no go out (
Note:
The
Parking Light output relay in the Module gives
two “
clicks”
per flash, 1
click
for ON and 1
click
for OFF).
Ƈ
Parking Light flashes referred to in this
manual refer to the Parking Light output of the
Module and not that of the vehicle.
Harness Description
When connecting the Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the Ground wire
is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be powered before
being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the unit.
Be
careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded.
To avoid any accident,
it is a recommended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the installation, and to put
them back during the very last steps.
