  • Page 28: Step 4, H2 Harness

    Step 4, H2 Harness Engine Monitoring Explained During remote start the system will need to know if the engine is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the vehicle's electrical system (or the tachometer-see next section). Voltage Monitoring note! If the system has been programmed for Tachometer monitoring previously, it must be reprogrammed to Voltage monitoring.
  • Page 29 Tachometer Wire WARNING! In the following procedure DO NOT use a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components caus- ing damage, including damage to the power train control module. A digital multi-meter is required to test for this wire.
  • Page 30 Then wrap the connection with electrical tape. note! If using a tach signal, the tach signal MUST be learned before using the remote starter. LEARNING YOUR TACH SIGNAL If using a tach wire, you must learn the tach signal after completing the installation.
  • Page 31 Following is a brief description of the remainder of the wires in the H2 harness. For specific details on connecting these outputs contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382. Horn/siren wire The Blue wire provides an output for activating the vehicle horn circuit or an external siren.
