when the hood is closed and the correct brake wire is
hooked up.

Transmission was shifted into gear. Move the In-Gear
switch inside the receiver module to the OFF position
(see diagram below for location of In-Gear switch).

Low battery voltage, or may be missing an ignition wire
which powers up the alternator
8
flashes
Over current - One of the 400 mA (-) transistor outputs
(alarm disable, Ignition 3 or horn) of the control harness
are driving too much current. Make sure to use a relay
where necessary.

The Control Switch was turned off while the car starter
was running.
20. 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 that when
turning off this control switch, the red LED light will flash a few
times, giving the diagnostic code described in Section 19. Wait a few
seconds for it to finish before programming your new Options.

This option sets the starting method. The factory setting uses “No-
Tach” starting. If you wish to use the tach to start, follow the instruc-
tions in the Tach Rate Learning section (step 12A).

This option gives you a choice of run times.
Option #3
Normal Crank

This option will add 50% more crank time to the NoTach™ starting
feature.
16. White/Black Wire - Ignition 3 / VATS - Control Harness
The WHITE/BLACK wire, is a
ground output that acts just like
the Ignition 1 or Ignition 2 relay
outputs (active in the “run” and
“crank” positions).
This wire is
a 400 mA negative transistor out-
put and MUST be set up to power
a relay
(not included). It can be used to power the third ignition wire
at the key (necessary for most Ford vehicles).
This is the wire that can also be used to bypass a passive anti-theft
system by hooking it up to the Universal Alarm Bypass Module. See
the Factory Anti-Theft Systems section at the end of the instructions.
REQUIRED FINAL STEPS
You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initializa-
tion (Step 11) to proceed forward.
17. 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 taken out of park,
the hood is opened, the brake is pressed or the transmitter but-
ton is pushed again. If the car does not start, see the Code Learn-
ing section under Special Cases.
18. 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 provided alcohol pad for maximum adhesion.
Let the windshield dry for a minute. Peel the liner off the back of the
adhesive tape and mount the antenna behind the rear view mirror.
The more exposed the antenna is, the better the range performance.
Now plug the end of the antenna into the remote starter module.
In
most vehicles you will get better range performance if the antenna is
pointing vertically downward from the top of the windshield.
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.
19. 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 prob-
lem. See the chart below for an explanation of the flashes:

10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure
the transmitter is working properly.
