“SMART” TACHLESS MODE
“SMART TACHLESS” ADJUSTMENT:
In the event “Smart Tachless” over-cranks or under-cranks your starter, the settings can be changed. The purpose of
adjusting the “Smart Tachless” Mode is to raise or lower the voltage reference threshold from the 90% default point.
Raising or lowering this 90% point should increase or decrease your cranking time respectively. The adjustment range
is from 80% to 100% in one percent increments. The Default is 90%. Follow steps below to adjust the reference level.
1. Open hood (or ground Gray wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Turn the key to the ON position
3. Press program button 5 times, after a few seconds the unit will flash the lights 5 times.
4. Carefully press the program button 6 times to option level #6 for voltage reference adjustment. You must get a light
flash after each press. If the lights didn’t flash, then the unit did not register your button press.
5. Press the Brake pedal to decrease the reference by 1% (lights will flash 1X for each press); Press the Start Button to
increase the reference by 1% (lights will flash 2X for each press). The unit will stop providing light flashes when you
reach the bottom (80%) or the top (100%) of the adjustment range.
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (or un-ground the Gray wire) and check operation.
TACH (RPM) REFERENCE MODE & TACH FINDER MODE
Tach Reference Mode
provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using Tach
Reference Mode, the Red/White wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines include various
points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples: Negative (-) side of
ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor.
Sometimes Fuel injection solenoids, and Alternator stator pins can be used.
These Tach Signal locations mentioned are
provided as a guide, your vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be a good location for Tach source due to RF
noise or Computer Data. TACH FINDER mode will assist you in locating a valid tach source. (See Below.)
TACH FINDER MODE:
This system now includes a Tach Finder mode to assist in locating a valid or viable tach source for your installation.
Follow the Tach Finder steps to locate and /or verify a tach signal. If you are already aware of a good Tach source for
your vehicle, then you may go directly to TACH PROGRAMMING steps. Note that on vehicles with daytime running
lights, it may be difficult to see any flashing parking lights. In this case your only notification will be the slight “ticking”
sound coming out of the module from the on-board flashing light relay.
