18 Pin Secondary Wire Harness (cont’d)
CONNECTION (Manual Transmission):
Connect this to the brake switch wire that shows (-)
ground when the parking brake is engaged�
VIOLET/WHITE WIRE - TACH SIGNAL INPUT
This input provides the engine’s RPM signal to the remote start� This is typically the most reli-
able form of engine detection� To use the tach wire, you must change installer feature #6 to the
tach wire setting�
CONNECTION:
This can be connected to any trigger wire for an ignition coil, fuel injector, or the
signal to the tachometer in the dash� Use a digital multimeter set for AC volts to test� The appropri-
ate wire will read between 1-6 volts AC and will increase as the engine RPM increases�
BROWN WIRE - SIREN (+) OUTPUT
This output provides a 1 amp positive output to operate the included siren�
CONNECTION:
Safely route this wire to the chosen mounting location of the siren and connect it
to the siren’s red wire� Connect the siren’s black wire to chassis ground�
WHITE WIRE - FLASHING LIGHT (+) OUTPUT
This output provides a 10 amp positive output to flash the vehicle’s parking lights (typically). If
the vehicle has a low current negative parking light circuit, use the WHITE/BLACK wire instead�
CONNECTION:
Connect this wire to the vehicle’s positive parking light circuit� It will show +12
volts when the parking lights are on�
BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT TO THE DIMMER CIRCUIT
WHICH WILL CHANGE VOLTAGE AS YOU TURN THE DIMMER KNOB�
WHITE/BLACK WIRE - FLASHING LIGHT (-) OUTPUT
This output provides a 250mA negative output to flash the vehicle’s parking lights (typically). If
the vehicle has a positive parking light circuit, use the WHITE wire instead�
CONNECTION:
Connect this wire to the vehicle’s negative parking light circuit� It will show ground
when the parking lights are on�
BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT TO THE DIMMER CIRCUIT-
WHICH WILL CHANGE RESISTANCE TO GROUND AS YOU TURN THE DIMMER KNOB�
GRAY WIRE - HOOD TRIGGER (-) INPUT
REQUIRED�
This input is used to detect entry into the hood area of the vehicle� It is also a criti-
cal safety circuit that prevents remote start functions while the hood is opened�
CONNECTION:
Connect this wire to the vehicle’s existing hood switch or light� It will show ground
when the hood is opened� You can also use the included pin switch and mount it to the radiator
core support�
GREEN WIRE - DOOR TRIGGER (-) INPUT
This input is used to detect entry into the vehicle via any door opening�
CONNECTION:
Connect this wire to the vehicle’s existing domelight circuit or door pin circuit� The
circuit will show ground when any door is opened� If you are required to connect to each individual
door pin, diode isolation is required� Use one 1-2 amp diode for each door, facing the diode’s
cathode (stripe) towards the vehicle wiring�
VIOLET WIRE - DOOR TRIGGER (+) INPUT
This input is used to detect entry into the vehicle via any door opening�
CONNECTION:
Connect this wire to the vehicle’s existing domelight circuit or door pin circuit�
The circuit will show +12 volts when any door is opened� If you are required to connect to each
individual door pin, diode isolation is required� Use one 1-2 amp diode for each door, facing the
diode’s cathode (stripe) towards the alarm module�
