sets the starting method. The factory setting uses "No-Tach" starting. If you
wish to use the tach to start, follow the instructions in 13A.
#2
is for the choice of run times.
#3
will add 50% more crank time to starting.
#4
adds 100% more crank time. This is necessary on many deisel and hard to
start vehicles. Options #3 and #4 can be added together for even more
cranking time.
#5
is used in the "No-Tach" starting method for some diesel vehicles.
#6
option must be activated when installing on a diesel vehicle.
#7
cancels the Enable mode safety feature. The Enable mode requires that
the driver toggle the ON/OFF control switch "OFF" then "ON" each time
the driver removes the key from the ignition in order to "enable" the vehicle
for AutoCommand
®
control. This feature guards against undesired starting
of the vehicle by remote control.
#8
This option will turn the headlights on about 10 seconds after it sees the key in
the ignition position -- and turn if off when the key is removed from the ignition.
If you want the factory settings, DO NOTHING and skip this section. If you want
to change to one of the options, TURN THE ON/OFF CONTROL SWITCH TO THE
"OFF" POSITION. Wait for the red LED to stop flashing, then continue with the
following procedures:
A.
Push the white button to the left of the red LED. Each time you push the button
the red LED will flash 1 to 9 times signifying at which option you are (press it
once, the LED flashes once. Press it again and it will flash two times. Press it
again and it will flash three times, etc., to show what option you are at).
B.
When you are at the option level you desire, push the transmitter button for
1 second and the red LED will flash once for Option setting and Twice for
returning to the Factory setting.
C.
In six seconds, the AutoCommand
mode (Three LED flashes). You can choose the next option by starting over
again with Step A.
D.
When finished -- switch the Control Switch back ON. The LED will flash once.
SPECIAL CASES
1)
Code Learning
The transmitter is uniquely coded to one of over 16,000,000 different codes. The
AutoCommand
®
module can learn the codes of up to 4 different transmitters. It
should have been taught the code at the factory - but if not - follow the steps below
to teach the receiver the transmitter code(s):
A.
Turn the Control Switch on.
B.
Push and release the red button to the right of the red LED. The red LED,
ignition and accessories come on for a second.
C.
Hold down the button on the transmitter until the red LED, ignition and acces-
sories come on. The module has now learned the transmitter code. Release
hold on the transmitter button.
D.
To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), immediately (within 5 seconds)
push the button on another transmitter for a few seconds until the red LED,
ignition and accessories come on.
E.
Wait 5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was pushed to exit the code-
learning stage. (The LED, ignition and accessories flash on 4 times).
Note: You have only 5 seconds between transmitters to begin teaching a new
transmitter.
2) VATS system (for GM cars with special PASS key).
If you have a GM vehicle with a factory anti-theft system (a resistor in the key), you
need to follow these directions below. However for a few 1995+ GM vehicles (Buick
Skylark, Chevrolet Cavalier, Oldsmobile Achiva and the Pontiac Sunfire) you must
get Tech Tip #8113 from DesignTech.
Measure the resistance of the key. It should be between 392 ohms and 11,800
ohms. To do this, put the ohm meter probes on each side of the key pellet. This
value should be close to one of the following (all values in ohms): 392, 523, 681,
887, 1.13K, 1.47K, 1.87K, 3.01K, 3.74K, 4.75K, 6.04K, 7.5K, 9.53K, 11.8K. Purchase a
resistor with a value within 5% of this measured value and a 30 amp BOSCH type
relay. (or purchase DesignTech VATS kit part number 20041)
Locate the pair of VATS wires (sometimes White/Black striped and Purple/Black
striped) running behind the dash from the passenger side to the driver's side
behind the key switch. Connect our Ignition 3 (IGN3 - WHITE/BLACK) wire to pin
86 and +12 volts to pin 85 on the relay. Cut ONE of the VATS wires and connect
®
automatically exits the programming
the key-switch side to NC pin 87A, and the other side (Engine Side) to common
pin 30. Connect the other VATS wire to NO pin 87 with the selected resistor
soldered in line as shown here:
Some of the newer GM vehicles
have a slight variation on the wir-
ing for the VATS system. On these
cars, there is an ORANGE wire
(actually a vinyl sleeve) that con-
tains smaller wires. This is located
underneath the steering column
next to the YELLOW sleeve that is
labeled "Air bag wiring". Slit the
ORANGE sleeve open to expose
two pairs of wires which are ei-
ther both white, OR both yellow,
OR both black.
Note: When installing a VATS bypass system, the WHITE/BLACK IGN3 wire must
only go to the VATS relay. If you need IGN3 in the car, simply supply power to the
IGN3 wire of the vehicle by jumping power from the GREEN IGN2 wire. (Thus
GREEN will be powering up 2 wires behind the key).
For GM Vehicles with the Pass Lock System: 1995+ Chevrolet Cavailer Z24, Pontiac
Sunfire GT and 1996+ Pontiac Sunfires and Grand Am, Olds Achieva, Buick Skylark and
Chevrolet Cavalier; order Fax on Demand document #8113 to work around this system.

set for diesel vehicles. (Use the Chrysler settings for all other diesel vehicles.)

USER TIPS
The transmitter button functions as follows:
Push Button: Once - Start the car
Again - Stop the car
Important Note:
Make sure that all drivers who will be operating the AutoCommand
aware of the safety precautions installed and their limitations. Stress the impor-
tance of switching the On/Off control switch to the "OFF" position (down) every
time the car is serviced. Show the user how the control switch must be turned
off and on again after pulling out the key before leaving the car. If the user
forgets to enable the AutoCommand
enable it by pushing and holding the transmitter button for 6 seconds. Give the
user a copy of the tan page - USER TIPS AND NOTES so that they can familiarize
themselves with the product.
USER INFORMATION: The tan USER TIPS AND NOTES sheet gives you further detail
regarding daily use of this product. Any modifications not expressly approved
by DesignTech will void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
