Wiring
Black 9-Pin Mini Connector
White/Blue Wire: (-) Instant Start and Turn Off Input
This wire activates and turns off the remote starter each time it sees a momentary ground signal. Normally used for
testing during installation or when activating the module from an after market system.
White/Red Wire: (-) Tachometer Signal Connection
This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine's revolutions per minute
(RPM). It can be connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils. In multi-coil and
high energy ignition system locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once connected, you must
program the Start Feature Stage 2 to "Tachometer Checking Type" and teach the system the RPM signal (see
Start Feature Stage 2 Programming).
In multi-coil ignition system, the system can have individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil
ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the
ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.
Important! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. Electronic
components of the ignition system will be damaged.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multi-meter:
1. Set the ACV or AC voltage *(12V or 20V is OK).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V at idle, and will increase as engine RPM
increases.
Note: No connection of this wire is required, if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.
White 4-Pin Mini Connector
2-Stage Sensor:
Allows easy connection with quick disconnect ability for other optional devices.
1. Red: +12 Volt Constant Input.
2. Black: Main Sensor Ground.
3. Blue: Instant Trigger (-) Input.
4. Green: Warn Away (-) Input.
White 10-Pin Mini Connector
Yellow Wire:
(-) 200mA Ignition 3 Output
This wire provides a 200mA (-) ground output that becomes active in 4 seconds before the
remote start unit initializes and remains grounded while running. It may also be used for an
immobilizer bypass module.
