23A. Setting Program Features
The remote starter unit has many special features available. You will not need to use
these special features in most situations. The factory settings will operate most
vehicles.
You must turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position to
program any features
.
Note: When turning off this control switch, the red LED light will flash a few times,
giving the diagnostic code described in section 22. Wait a few seconds for it to
finish before programming your new Options.

23B. Program Features Descriptions
Option #1
No-Tach
Tach Mode
This option sets the starting method. The factory setting uses “No-Tach” starting. If
you wish to use the tach to start, follow the instructions in the Tach Rate Learning
(section 12).
18. Red/White Wire – Remote Input – Control Harness
The RED/WHITE wire is the Remote Input. This wire will accept any negative ground
trigger to start the remote starter. This is not normally used since starting is with the
remote control transmitter. Setting Option #11 (section 23) will require this wire to
see two negative pulses within three seconds. This option will allow the RED/WHITE
wire to be connected to the vehicle’s door lock wire so you can use the factory remote
transmitter to remotely start your car.
19. Red/Black Wire – Diesel “wait to start” – Control Harness
This wire is only used in diesel vehicle applications
– and is optional. This
wire can be hooked up to the “wait to start” light’s switched wire behind the dash. If
Option #9 (section 23) is set, this wire will feed information to the remote starter as
to when to crank the vehicle over. This wire is not polarity sensitive.
REQUIRED FINAL STEPS
Note: You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initialization
(Step 11) to proceed forward.
20. Trying the Unit Out
WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing.
A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake
B. Place the vehicle in Park.
C. Turn the On/Off switch off then on – the red LED light will flash once.
D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start button on the
transmitter.
E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make sure that the
engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is opened, the brake
is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the car does not start, see Code
Learning under Special Cases.
21. The Antenna
Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left windshield
post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield with the rubbing alcohol
pad, wait to dry. Slip the rubber antenna into the hard plastic antenna clip. Remove
the backing from the double sided tape and mount the antenna behind the rear view
mirror. The more exposed the antenna is, the better the range and performance.
Now plug the end of the antenna into the remote starter module.
In some vehicles
you will get better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically
downward from the top of the windshield.
Note: The wiring section of the installation is now complete. Be sure to
cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and mount the module
securely under the dash. When tying up and mounting the unit, be sure
to avoid any moving parts (steering column, pedals) and sharp edges.
22. Trouble Shooting with the Self Diagnostics
The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate why the
unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the unit was used.
To activate the diagnostic mode for
why it turned off
, simply turn the On/Off control
switch to the “OFF” position. In a few seconds, the red LED light on the module will
flash 1 to 12 times to identify the problem. See the chart below for an explanation of
the flashes:
1
flash
10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure transmitter is
working properly.
2
flashes
Unit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated. Check to make
sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood is closed and the
correct brake wire is hooked up.
3
flashes
No Tach or Stalled. Review section 23 and make sure the no tach/tach
wire option is programmed correctly.
