STEP 1:
Foot brake must be connected if not supported by
the bypass module. See Option 2-05 for details.
STEP 2:
Start the vehicle with the key. Allow time for the
engine to idle down.
STEP 3:
Learn tach. While the vehicle is at idle, hold the
foot brake and activate the remote start function on the
remote control for 2.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash
once to indicate a good tach signal. The parking lights will
flash twice to indicate the tach did not learn. Two seconds
following the two flashes, the number of parking light flashes
will indicate the cause of the error:
Tachless Mode
– (Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only)
Tachless sensing is an alternative engine sensing mode. It does not require a connection to the vehicle
other than the main ignition harness.
STEP 1:
Change Option 1-06 to setting 2 – No tach sensing.
STEP 2:
Process complete – there is no further programming required other than adjusting crank time
when necessary (see below).
Timed Crank Setting – Automatic Transmission Only
Option 1-06 setting 3 provides a timed 1.5 second crank for the remote start sequence. This option
just cranks the vehicle for 1.5 seconds and assumes remote start has completed. This option can be
used for GM and other vehicles with built in anti-grind systems.

Tach Sensing
The default engine sensing mode is tach through a bypass module. There are new features that adjust
tach reading methods on option 1-06.
IMPORTANT:
The remotes must be coded prior to setting up
tach sensing.
