Installation Guide

Notice
The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of
the product, be that either damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified
technician using all safety devices supplied. Please note that this guide has been written for properly trained
technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore assumed. Please review the Installation Guide
carefully before beginning any work.
Warning
Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch
contacts of the vehicle work well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle does not start when the gearshift lever is in the "Drive"
position. If it starts in gear, install a manual transmission remote starter system instead.

    Introduction This guide contains all the information relevant and necessary for the installation of the alarm and remote starter system. Most of the features of this product are explained in the user guide. Therefore, if you need detailed information about a feature of the product, we recommend that you refer to the user guide.
  • Page 4 • The Programming Assistance Button (a.k.a. PAB): The PAB is mounted on the side of the unit. This push button mimics the hood-pin switch in order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the hood-pin switch. The PAB will work only when the hood is up. •...

    “corrected”. • Visit www.Prostart.org to obtain a copy of your vehicle’s tech sheet (wire colors and locations) • Before you get started, make sure the vehicle starts and idles properly with the Ignition key, and that the electrical system is not compromised in any way.
  • Page 6: A Basic Introduction To The Relay

    • Return to the engine bay and route the tach and hood pin wire to their corresponding connections. • Solder the engine compartment wire once the connections are made. When the solder has cooled, the connections are then individually taped up, to isolate them. •...
  • Page 7 Quenching Diodes It was said earlier that a relay energizes itself by applying positive from the battery to either 85 or 86 and grounding the other terminal. This is not absolutely true, some relays are “polarized” if they have a quenching/ suppression diode (A diode installed between the coil terminals 85 and 86, could be internal or external).
  • Page 8 The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the +12 volt park light output from the remote start module. This becomes the positive side of the coil. 86: Connects to a negative source (where the remote start module is grounded). This becomes the negative side of the coil.
  • Page 9: Clutch Bypass

    Comments: At rest the relay is not active, and +12 volts on the starter wire passes through the relay (through 87A & 30) normally. The starter disable output wire on the remote start module is activated when the LOCK button is pressed on the remote control. When a theft attempt happens, and the thief powers the ignition circuit (to hot-wire the vehicle), and the starter activates.

When the key is turned to the start position without pressing the pedal, you will test 12v only on one of the wires at the clutch switch, this is the key side. When the pedal is pressed down, and the key is in the crank position, the other wire will also read 12 volts;...
  • Page 11: Harness Description

    Harness Description When connecting the Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the Ground wire is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be powered before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the unit. Be careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded.

    5-Pin Secondary Harness Wire Description This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or BLACK (–) true Body ground). It is preferable to use a factory ground bolt rather Chassis than a self-tapping screw. Screws tend to get loose or rusted over time ground input and can cause erratic problems.
